I don't remember the details offhand, but there was that amendment that passed since then which changes what the state can do when it runs deficits.

Both of those recession deficits were after years of economic decline. This economic decline is less than 8 weeks old. I was hyperbolic, but I'm not sure by how much.

What we haven't seen yet is that Fauci and others have stated there will be regional lockdowns when there are "outbreaks". I suspect that as soon as the business community sees this, many more will just close up permanently, even if they aren't in the locked down regions because many can't survive another lockdown and are risking almost everything to open up now.
