I'm spending the college money now. Got lucky.
The boys went into the service, VA paid for their degrees.
Only thing the daughter cost me was a little tuition at the local community college and a seaside wedding.
Very nice!

Apples and oranges. 2009 we had 10% unemployment, losing 700,000 jobs per month. Foreclosure rates were at 40 year highs. The S&P dipped below 700 points. We were involved in three unfunded wars and we had fortune 500 companies on the brink of bankruptcy. Disparate times indeed. Today we are in the greatest economy in the history of the US and are considering some of the same tactics. Sometimes businesses need to lose and people need to suffer. The great depression shaped the country for generations. Good and Bad

Apparently the fed wishes they had acted sooner because that's what they're doing now.
I don't think a rate cut is really going to help.

Perhaps you're right but that is contrary to the explicit purpose of the federal reserve.

It's probably going to zero percent March 18th.
Of both sides could use their brains and work together, now would be an excellent time to issue a 50 year bond and pay off our national debt obligations with cheaper money.
It would help the economy in the long term.

always , the only person that gets rich in a socialistic society is the rich which includes bernie
How many people would jump on a 1.75% interest rate for 50 year's?
Especially when many countries are paying negative interest rates

Where would we be if the 14% corporate tax cuts were not passed, better or worse? I can't help but think better.
It did bring back a lot of cash from companies that repratrioted money from overseas.
Yes I agree with you that I don't like these big corporate taxes breaks
But... These companies blackmail the government by saying we will take those jobs and move them overseas. Maybe the one good thing about the coronavirus is that some of these companies will get beat up by the overseas supply chain and hopefully bring some of those jobs back here.
One can dream...
