Economists are split on when the economy will start to rebound, but hardly any share the bullish talk of the Trump White House. President Trump vowed on Thursday the economy would take off like a “rocket” once the spread of the virus is under control.

His Treasury Secretary, Steven Mnuchin, also predicted on Thursday the economy will roar back with a “gigantic” fourth quarter, saying “we are going to kill this virus” and return to a “normal world.”


This is just more bullshit happy talk...akin to Krudlow's "just keep buying on the dips, folks!"

To make matters even worse, we were already running record deficits ($1.5 trillion?) and the Fed has already slashed interest rates to damn near zero, so not sure what much else they can do...short of getting Bernanke's helicopters to start dropping freshly printed $100 bills outta the blue. Good thing gas is real cheap now...because they're gonna be flying 24/7.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
