Well, someone can answer the question, surely? I can just imagine if we were to have a Republican President and recent events happened. This nation and the entities in it are COMPLETELY corrupt. You keep your money in your 401k, you get what you deserve.

“You keep your money in your 401k, you get what you deserve.”

I guess I deserve matching employer contributions then?

Maybe the question should be “What would the Fed do?” It has become the Fed Market after all.

Well, if it was the last Republican President, the answer is....NOTHING.

Because this sh*t wouldn’t be happening.

Next question

I understand your point, but my QUESTION WAS, what would the media have done should a Republican President have faced a similar crisis? I have reached the end point of my patience. People now HAVE to be held accountable.

half of Americas output comes from 23 BLUE urban areas. Rich America lives in blue states. Honestly never understood why repubs lobby to lower the taxes of the wealthy blue states... or why blue states support giving $8 bucks back for every $1 poor red states send.

FED is so addicted to the power of printing money, they think they can abolish normal economic cycles by printing more.

I don’t know about the stock market, but I’m sure Nancy Pelosi would have already started impeachment plans.

I understood the question to mean the development(s) in the last week and a half.
