The Great Recession

“Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword, because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. A military force, at the command of Congress, can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional, for they will possess the power, and jealousy will instantly inspire the inclination to resist the execution of a law which appears to them unjust and oppressive.”

That didn’t take long.

Just a few days after stocks hit an all time high amid investor complacency that China’s ever more audacious lies about the declining number of new coronavirus cases confirms that Beijing is on top of the domestic epidemic, and even if they are not, the Fed will step in and cut rates or do more QE – because somehow printing money and printing antiviral antibodies is comparable – stocks plunged as it became abundantly clear that the coronavirus pandemic is not only not fading, but on the contrary, it starting to spread around the globe with new clusters emerging in South Korea, Japan and Italy.  Continue reading “As Stocks Tumble, Kocherlakota Urges Fed To Cut Rates Immediately”
