The Dutch really don't have to worry any more ... thanks to everyone else.

That's not true at all.... they can worry less because they haven't decided to destroy their nation....

If it is the latter scenario, we have spent months in panic and billions TRILLIONS of dollars in lost productivity and next winter we’ll have to do what the Dutch did.

That should be TRILLIONS.

Every day that Trump gets up there and spouts this garbage being shoved onto him, he reduces his chances at re-election more. He is literally slitting his own throat every time that he speaks about this....

Yeah, it's like DejaVu. Recall how the RL melted down the economy in 2008, and then conned GWB into that "stimulus" BS. Here we go again.

Will it turn out that the bioweapon was released on purpose.... for this purpose? Considering the globalist 'agenda 21'....I have to wonder.

So, do you get the impression that this thing will end when enough greasy politicians get some of that sweet, sweet quantitative easing to stash in their favorite charity?

If this keeps up, it will make 2008 look like child's play.... bioweapon or not, the essential impact that is being created regardless of the nature of it....

I think you may be comparing apples and oranges here @EdJames

The crisis beginning in 2007 was caused by years of an over abundance of stupid global risk taking and distorted profit taking. The implosion of sub-prime mortgages nearly ended Lehman Brothers causing a rippling effect through international banking that nearly collapsed the worldwide financial system. The global risk taking chickens had come home to roost --- and after years of massive bailouts suffocating economic growth --- the chickens almost won.

This is not what's happening today. The economic fundamentals, thanks in large part to a businessman's leadership for the past three and a half years, are strong. I think of this as a clinically induced coma .... the patient is very much alive and will be pulled back to consciousness as strong--if not stronger--than before.

Sure, we're witnessing the usual suspects grabbing our tax dollars with both fists --- but we can take care of the political pigs at the polls in November.

Businesses will be luckier.

I don't deny what's happening is truly breathtaking ... but then I remind myself how right Trump's leadership on the economy has been and I think when this page is turned we will not only recover--quickly--but China will lose its stranglehold on our product supply chain and production --- and American First will prevail and China can suck it.

Am wondering that while our attention is diverted the Chinese may try something dramatic, thinking we will be less likely to respond.

Would not put it past them to try.

If they do, I think Trump would respond, quickly and decisively. Like increasing the size of our military and armament manufacturing with a lot of people who used to be employed in the leisure industry.

Would give them jobs, create more American goods needed and preserve his own job.

Yes, to cause us to look only inward, not outward.

It is the rest of the world I am thinking of......
