Assessment

The claim predicted that the US federal government or central bank would initiate bailouts or dedicated financial rescue and liquidity facilities for municipal governments. Following the April 22, 2020 podcast date, the Federal Reserve operationalized its Municipal Liquidity Facility (MLF) on May 26, 2020 (having expanded eligibility thresholds on April 27, 2020), offering up to $500 billion in direct financing for state and municipal issuers. Furthermore, on March 11, 2021, the federal government enacted the American Rescue Plan Act, creating the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF), which provided $350 billion in dedicated direct fiscal relief, including over $130 billion allocated directly to municipalities and counties.

On April 27, 2020, and June 3, 2020, the Federal Reserve expanded eligibility for the Municipal Liquidity Facility (MLF), which officially launched operations on May 26, 2020, to purchase up to $500 billion in municipal debt.
On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act (P.L. 117-2), providing $350 billion in direct fiscal relief through the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds, with over $65 billion directly dedicated to cities and non-entitlement municipal units and $65 billion to counties.
