    so its the Fed's money that they borrow from China the source of all this turmoil.

    I think Trump should just announce we are defaulting on $23T and lets see what happens. Can't be worse than what we have now

    I have mixed feelings about all of this but I do think there's something to be said for the idea that when government orders are what is killing an economy/job market/personal finance that it's more appropriate for said government to step in and offer relief.

    This isn't just some random recession. This is a recession caused by a virus yes but moreso by governmental response to said virus. I'm pro small government but if government is going to choose to take away economic freedom like this I think they have to offer economic relief.

    IOW I was against W's stimulus in 08 but am pro Trump's stimulus in 20 even though I am much more pro W than Trump.

    If there's ever a situation where government stimulus is appropriate this is it.

    Except the government doesn’t have money of their own. So they are giving away others money.
    Yeah there's that.

    As usual we are stealing from our kids. Or their kids.
    Or us

    I'd happily steal from you.

    I wouldn't do it physically. I'd just Phish you and take your money.
