    What!?!? Are you telling me that trump lies and spin aren't fixing this?

    Trumpers are getting a dose of something they haven't known for a very long time - reality.

    Senators emerging from the meeting voiced only tepid backing for cutting payroll taxes or other large-scale stimulus measures, however. “The payroll tax as a general stimulus, I’ll have to think about that,” said Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., a top Trump ally. “I don’t know if that’s the best way to do it.”

    The top House Republican also didn’t appear ready to embrace a broad new tax cut yet.

    “Well, we’re looking at a number of measures,” Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said Tuesday. “Remember, we have a very strong economy, very low unemployment, but we want to look at is there a surgical way that those who are hurt — hourly wages and others — is there an ability to help to keep the economy moving as strong as it is today.”

    Why does the WHO declaring COVID-19 a pandemic signal "buy" time to you?

    Manufacturing has been in recession for over six months. And the market is crashing almost like it did in 2008 and early 2009.

    And now because of trump's total ineptitude, we have markets in chaos. Markets want to see clear leadership in times of crisis. But trump doesn't have a clue how to be a leader.

    We have Markets in chaos because of the unknown associated with the coronavirus.

    End of story !

    You can blame Trump, but what do you think Biden would do? Maybe free college tuition or free healthcare for illegals would help....

    Just think about all the added taxes associated with everything Biden promised.

    If Biden wins in November .... the market will not be happy.

    Generally the illegals dont pay payroll taxes in our current economy They are contract workers and given a 1099 at tax time . The employer does no withholding . And the illegal does not file taxes .

    At least that is how employers do it here in the south.

    So we probably have 20 to 30 million not paying taxes and send some of their income to Mexico .So they are not consuming much of the US economy. Parasites comes to mind .

    we like it, we do not like that Trump asked republican lawmakers to only make it last up to the election

    Trump should have said lets make it last a year, not make it political

    Trump will have to give the people a payroll tax holiday if he wants to bail out the corps

    Trump wants to prop up the economy till after the election, but I am all for trickle up economics, regardless if it helps the stock market, it will help the working class - if the people have the money to spend, it will help businesses as well, and they will have to hire to fill the demand

    And now we get to the real issue. Basically, if your employer doesn't see you worthy of things like health insurance, well the coronavirus outbreak is as good a reason as any to try to get it from government. I have zero interest in receiving "charity", and I'm not interested in being forced into charitable giving. I'm covered.

    Market currently down another 1000. Trump ordering all discussions on the Coronavirus to be classified hardly installs trust in a government. What is he hiding....

    We aren’t in a recession, we aren’t heading to one, and the virus thing is totally under control.
