  1. Fed Ex seems to have had problems for years. Many years ago, it was a premium delivery company.

  2. Isn't a deal with the U.S.oil producers called collusion and illegal?

  3. U.S. will spend more money on the military.

  4. This liquidity crisis has been going on since the Federal Reserve first started going into the repo market months ago and it just keeps getting worse.

  5. A very wide U recovery.

  6. He's an economist? Isn't he aware the figures are rigged? If inflation was calculated the was it was in the 70's without 'replacing' inflating items with 'equivalents' it would be around 6% - 8% for the average working person. Also, he ignores bond investors not being able to make a decent return, which punishes retirees. Every country creating money without an improvement in productivity winds up with the same problems... inflation, speculation, destruction of productivity, crashing the currency and other countries moving away from the currency because they lose money by holding it.

  8. If this virus came out of Chinese laboratory and easily mutates, and no one has immunity, not a chance this virus will be controlled.

  9. Like Trump didn't keep filling the swamp.

  10. It's not Saudi Arabia. The U.S. is the one with the lowest crude oil prices because of excess production versus demand. This is a totally internal problem for the U.S.

  11. I think she said “protect the 1% at all costs and dump the burden of inflation on the poor and middle class.”

  12. I'm 63 years old and never seen transitory inflation. Once inflation gets a hold in the economy, it continues to get worse until interest rates rise dramatically.

  13. Republican Nixon opened up to China and Republicans supported open trade with China.

  14. Next they'll say all these corporate loans will be converted into grants.

  15. We no longer have a capitalistic economy. The Federal Reserve is creating a socialist economy like Venezuela.

  16. No stores closing, no costs going up in the dollar stores, no global warming... anyone need more lies?

  17. Republicans changed the Democrats bill and added corporate welfare.

  18. This may give businesses a second thought about moving to Texas.

  19. Stock buybacks should be illegal

  20. AAAskeet It's all crumbling down via Donald Trump

  21. Gary Campbell If current airlines go bankrupt, new airlines will be formed, if there is demand. This is all about saving the rich. Anyone who loses their job because of a lack of demand for air travel will not get their job back because of this bill.

  22. If the Fed doesn’t taper soon, the U.S. will have a crash equal to or exceeding the Great Depression. No country has survived economically by trying to print money to save its economy. Right now, excess capital is only making the asset holders paper wealthy. I see money velocity picking up in my area of the Midwest. Money velocity will dramatically pick up as the economy continues to open. That will increase inflation dramatically and could quickly lead to uncontrollable consequences without tapering.

  23.  @simonlynch4204  Current Federal Reserve balance sheet is $7,708,882,000,000 which is almost double from a year ago. I think you need to get your facts straight that quantitative easing is another term for printing (digital) money.

  24. In reality, not enough people and countries are willing to buy treasuries at current interest rates, so the Federal Reserve buys them. It's kind of a joke. Might as well get rid of the Federal Reserve. Why issue treasuries at all? It's shuffling electronic digits. The U.S. Treasury might as just say "We are going to print money to cover all the spending Congress has passed, but doesn't have the income". Instead, they issue treasuries, no one will buy them, so the Federal Reserve prints the money to buy them. There must be a point where all this money printing is going to cause a bad end. Historically, when countries have done this, it all comes to a very bad end.

  25. The only reason the US became what it did was World War 2 destroying Europe and Asia, and Mao suppressing China.

  26. joe corpus Trump supporters are the idiots; they ignore reality.

  27. Does anyone really believe these numbers?

  28. 30% unemployment is peak fear, for good reason.

  29. Powell doesn't go shopping so he wouldn't notice inflation. I wonder if any of these talking heads go shopping. When you buy a product that is the same price, but weighs less or has less items, is inflation in the real world. Housing, automobile prices and food are higher. Building materials and major household appliances are up 20% in the last year. I see the economy picking up fast, but will be a surprise to these talking heads in a couple months when it shows up in their reports.

  30. It's a liquidity crisis, financial crisis, supply chain crisis, economic lockdown, health crisis, unemployment crisis and a rolling crisis of shortages of critical goods. That probably doesn't cover everything going wrong now.

  31. The Federal Reserve always gives in whatever an administration demands, it isn't really independent. The Federal Reserve exists by an act of Congress and be put out of existence by an act of Congress.

  32. No worries, after prices double this year from transitory inflation, inflation will drop to normal double digits.

  33. Airbus should thank Boeing's top management and the Trump administration for its greater success, and hope they don't get replaced soon.

  34. Federal Reserve needs to keep creating trillions of more dollars so rich stock investors can afford to leave food scraps for the peasants.

  35. I wonder how much oil is left under Saudi sands. Perhaps they see an end to their oil.

  36. If he can be directly linked to directly causing the deaths, then he's guilty.

  37. Farmers need to go broke like every other business person instead of relying on Welfare payments (transfer payments from my pocket). It's been going on since the 1930's.

  38. mike s. Obama is no longer President. We're talking about the massive deficit spender Donald Trump who's running record deficits. It's bad now, wait until the economy gets bad.

  39. Not the economy, Wall Street. The average person gets $1200 or less, while the average corporation get tens of millions in subsidies.

  40. The Fed needs to let the markets fall and go back to rates closer to normal.

  41. Very sad. Sympathies for you and your family.

  42. Hamas only wants to destroy Israel. I have zero sympathy with Palestinians. There’s never been a country called Palestine, it was a province of the British Empire. The part people call Palestine was invaded by Arab countries before Palestine could become a country, no one talked about a Palestinian state until Israel fought wars and obtained the land from these Arab countries. So I don’t know what you’re talking about.

  43. Mohamed knows bonds, but he doesn’t know stocks and is weak on long term economic forecasting.

  44. Another $2.2 trillion dollars in new American government spending. $4 trillion plus from the Federal Reserve. $1 Trillion of 'normal' national debt. So our $17 trillion economy suddenly has an additional $7.2 trillion of newly created money. 42% more dollars floating around doesn't seem like a good thing as far as inflation goes.
    6
  45. I’ve notice prices rise in alignment with the amount of dollars created by the Fed, 20% permanent increase in prices. So the point of adding all these dollars to the economy accomplishes what?

  46. Hopefully, Fed won't cut rates but probably will to pump up stocks. Pumping all this money in the economy is not helping the average person. Fed doesn't care about everyday inflation for people. Everyday necessities continuously go up in price. Old housing is dropping in price because its so expensive to upgrade and modernize housing. New home prices are extremely expensive. If jobs are so plentiful, why are there so many minimum wage jobs?

  47. El-Erian has been wrong for many years. No such thing as transitory inflation. Inflation only gets quashed by higher interest rates. Stock market values are based on growing Federal Reserve balance sheet, denial of inflation and low interest rates. At some point inflation will build on itself because of 20% expansion of money supply relative to GDP without an increase in productivity. Federal Reserve will do what it always does and wait too long to allow interest rates to increase, then jack up rates to stop inflation. That's when the market crashes, not before.

  48. India is where diamonds are cut, so they will not be hurt much.

  49. Recessions are necessary in a capitalist economy and trying to avoid them by constantly pumping money into the economy, like most countries of the world are doing now will only make things worse, like the crash in 2008. Recessions are necessary because the weakest borrowers, businesses and individuals, simply exist economically on borrowed money and become too much of a burden on the economy. It's like you're trying to keep a boat moving and you need healthy rowers to keep it going. There are zombies on board (like zombie businesses). At first, it doesn't matter because there are plenty of healthy rowers. But after a while, the zombie disease spreads and you have too few rowers. Had you gotten rid of the zombies when there weren't too many (a small recession), it wouldn't be so difficult. But the longer you wait (by printing too much money and making it cheap), the harder it is to clean up zombies (like in the 2008 crash).

  50. They will also short the oil market to make up some lost revenue
