Trump wanted this cut, and this is the net result. Are we allowed to be disappoint in him for this?

Die with a virus or die as a slave unless we go back to work, now.

Not to be obtuse, but how should an average American behave when the government is banning large gatherings, eating out at a restaurant, telling people to quarantine or isolate, shutting down schools, folks on here demanding the financial markets be shutdown, Churches cancelling services, etc.?

I’m sure an average American are just trying to and wanting to go to work, take care of family, live their lives but it’s difficult when things around you are disrupted way beyond your control.

Trump is banking on leveraging to build and grow in the face of monumental crisis, only problem is that the US was over-leveraged way before he decided to ride down on that Trump Tower escalator.

The coronavirus is just a catalyst to a over-heated economy grounded in debt policy and currency devaluation. The trigger was eventually going to be pulled and the façade exposed. Only hope is that some leeway exists, one positive is that we only have a 108% debt nominal ratio to GDP, lol. Take comfort in that people who think running up deficits don't matter. When crises happen, the country starts to "feel" that irresponsible spending.

[DoughtyOne]

Yeah couldn't hurt.

We're all invested in this thing. If we have money in a
specific stock or not, the economy is impacted why what is going on.

We all live in that economy.

Yours it the best post so far. Succinct,to the point, logical, and doable. Way to common sense and against the doctrine of the MSM to ever be adopted, but a great observation.

This hysteria is being DRIVEN by the media we have gone through MANY, MANY new viruses in this country AND the media has NEVER responded in this magnitude of fear NEVER!! They NEVER reported each and every case found they NEVER reported on every death in the elderly NEVER!! I have lived through all of these different viruses and I am telling you this hysteria is being created by the media!!!

I re-fid at 2.75!

Which is why I don't understand the bank giving me close to 6 on my deposit. Seems like a loss for them, but they need an infusion of cash to use elsewhere. I had a CD that matured, it was 2.5 two years ago but rates are around 1 now. I'm telling my relatives to re-fi their mortgages. I don't have one, own free and clear. But others in debt should take advantage of low rates.

The best estimate of future inflation is treasure bonds and the market is saying no inflation. How that can be I have no idea
