United States officials at all levels are relentless in making statements about business incentive measures. So, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, on Monday, reassured the financial world with promises that Joe Biden's program would definitely work.

We have already faced the consequences of the anti-crisis strategy of economic development from the Democrats. Widely advertised at first, it deftly reassured investors at a critical moment. But later, serious scandals broke out around the distribution of subsidies. In November, the Department of Treasury even tried to withdraw funding for one of the most controversial projects – providing liquidity in the field of salary protection (PPPLF).

The programs closed one after another, and as of December 31, only four remained in the package: Commercial Paper Funding Facility (CPFF), Primary Dealer Credit Facility (PDCF), Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility (MMLF), and the infamous Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (PPPLF).

This news will most likely affect the market indicators in April-May.
