WH adviser Kudlow: Heavy borrowing is necessary to fight coronavirus pandemic

White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow told CNBC on Thursday that he is encouraged by the decline seen in the weekly Jobless Claims data.

“Heavy borrowing is necessary to fight coronavirus pandemic,” Kudlow added and reiterated that coronavirus aid talks are currently at a stalemate. “I wouldn’t mind a small, interim stimulus package.”
