Baring another surge of the coronavirus a retired Ripon College economist says he thinks this latest economic stimulus package will be enough to help jump start the economy for the rest of the year. The U.S. Senate passed the $1.9 trillion package that includes tightened eligibility limits for stimulus checks. Retired Ripon College economist Paul Schoofs says it should be the final economic stimulus package that’s needed during the pandemic. Schoofs predicts the gross domestic product will be up at least five percent for the year and by the fourth quarter he says we should be “real good shape.”
