1/3 of economists think there might be a recession in 2021.

The only thing to fear is rear itself, fear propagated by the DNC/MSM to scare voters and diminish the strong trump economy as a positive to continue to support trump.

Fox reporting WaPo propaganda. This article IMO is nothing more than propaganda to establish, carry forth the leftist rumor about some recession just over the horizon.

Nothing to see here but propaganda,

There could be a moratorium on corporate taxes to try and increase spending that way, but corporations would likely just use any cash to buy back shares, which they did a lot of during the last recession, and they leveraged up to do it too.

And would drive up the deficit even more as well. How long can we support $2 trillion or $3 trillion deficits?

It is looking like a recession soon. Goal is kick it past the election.

The fact we are talking payroll tax breaks and dropping interest rates means things are not all marshmellows and skittles. Bond and commodity prices also hint that.

The fact that less than a week ago the Economy was booming as far as the eye can see, then “some people” did something and decided a blip in the Bond Market foretold a convenient Recession is looming that would damage POTUS Trump’s chance for Reelection.

Funny how the People who disagree with the “recession” scare are being marginalized in the Press as Trump fanboys.

I’m sure it’s all just a coincidence.

Remember this blast from the past: Jobs are a lagging indicator.

The debt is already essentially uncollectable, barring some drastic measures, which probably get every Republican voted out of office for the next 30 years.

Debt globally is a serious problem, and only a few could tries made any any attempt to right the ship the last recession. Iceland comes foremost to mind.
