Falling NGDP was something the Fed ignored in 2008. I wonder if they will do the same thing now?

James, very high US death rates estimates are, in my opinion, overdone. Now, the financial package to workers may be too small. That could finish Trump.

It is hard to say. I would never vote for him, but if he gives out and showers workers with money, he stands a chance.

That is a broad subject. Governments are forcing crowds into grocery stores. And banks. Stupid!

Update 4: Lack of testing causes panic. No fan of Trump for not getting more testing. That failure undermines his reasonable argument that the death rate is very low in the USA.

Actually, I believe the 1.7 percent is too high. But without enough testing it cannot be proven. That adds to the panic!

Lack of testing adds to the panic. I believe the death rate is quite low in the USA. It may even be as low as flu. But lack of testing makes that impossible to prove.

I am torn, Lady. Let the lockdown go a couple of weeks to slow the virus. But, unless the government is interested in passing down helicopter money, enough is enough. This lockdown is a real hardship for American families.

Trump is a tariff socialist. The idea that Trump is for freedom rings hollow to me. Biden isn't the kind of guy who would shut down big oil. Obama and Trump were and are do nothing presidents. My parents thought FDR was a great man. The greatest generation looked up to him for trying to help the average American. You have a disturbing view of the world, Peter. Free trade is what we want, but what good is free trade if money does not filter down to labor?

Coronavirus deaths in the US are 1.7 percent.
