Trump Asks Rand to Join Task Force on Reopening Economy

[Gumba of Liberty]

Good list.

We must of course lift the "State of National Emergency" for the country that began the domino effect for states & locales to justify shutting 'non-essentials' down. States then will feel the pressure to start opening things back up, too. We gotta get America open for business, now. Obviously never should've happened by writ in the first place.

Throw a corporate tax suspension in there too - for at least the rest of 2020 - especially for those businesses deemed 'non-essential'. Either replace with tariffs as you recommend, or just allow the budget deficit to grow "temporarily". What's another trillion or so during an economic crisis, right?

I've heard grumblings of the lawyers beginning to lick their chops thinking that they're going to cash in by suing businesses that reopen causing people to get the illness by increased social interaction. That should not be allowed, period. Call it legal lawsuit gouging or something.

Agreed. A lot could be done to help with little to no cost and even if the deficit explodes that’s why we need competing currencies. Diversification of hard assets is key.

At least one of my ideas is getting play.

If that is passed into statute, that means the next wave is coming and will be much, much worse.

I dunno, seems like Trump only wants Rand around when he can use Rand to keep conservatives and libertarians critical of Red Donnie at bay.

In April, in a nice publicity stunt, Donald promised us a “reopening task force”, which included corporate giants from amongst others Amazon, General Motors and Merck.
Tim Schlittner, a spokesperson for the US’s largest labour union AFL-CIO, explained “This was a sham, not a task force”.

In the half year since it was founded, the panel has met only once, by phone. Some executives didn’t even know they were part of this task force a few hours before receiving a request to join a phone conference with the White House.

President Donald has promised over and over and over again to reopen the economy…
The US economy is expected to shrink by 4.3% this year, according to the IMF. Some countries are actually expected to grow, including South Korea, Australia, Taiwan and China.
The US is taking on debt levels not seen since World War II. While Donald Trump in 2016 promised to clear the debt in 8 years, its federal debt has ballooned with another $5.6 trillion: https://www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...force-n1244203
