A National Lockdown Could Be The Economy's Best Hope, Says Minneapolis Fed President

Or it could not.

[Mom MD]

right. Like with HIV?

[Mr. Jeeves]

At this point, any public official who implements or even calls for any form of lockdown should be considered an Enemy of the Republic.

If I hear any politician with the guts to state publicly the simple truth that people of Third World origin need to learn basic sanitation habits before the government can consider implementing any form of forced social isolation as a plausible solution to a spreading virus, I will fall over in shock.

The fed has no authority here. And by the way, the virus is coming ass sure as the sun coming up in the morning. Lock downs can delay it, like clouds can hide the sun. But sooner or later the virus will get to everyone who has a normal life. And most of those who try to hide as well.

Should state National Lock Down Democrats Best Hope

[John W]

I consider the next national lock down attempt like the last plane on 9/11. We know whats up now and it isn’t going to be allowed to happen.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

He means it is what is best for the Fed to survive and expand power.

Exactly see Tamiflu

LOCKDOWNS CAUSE ECONOMIC LOSS and failed businesses. I suspect this is what the Fed actually WANTS. They know that "Quantitative Easing Forever" is no longer working to hold down credit issue and inflation.

We see more evidence all the time: What's good for the elite (e.g., Federal Reserve, governors, Congress, Deep State, etc) is NOT good for America.

[backwoods-engineer]

I never understood that show. Subway-riding citiots that tell a constant stream of lies are outside my experience, I guess.

[backwoods-engineer]

You’re helping the Deep State. I hope people like you meet consequences after the war.

"If we aren't willing to take this action, millions more cases with many more deaths are likely before a vaccine might be available,"

On the other hand...

"If we are willing to take this action, millions more cases with many more deaths are likely before a vaccine might be available,"

[Deplorable American1776]

He wants you to believe that, but what he meant is a NATIONAL LOCKDOWN IS GREAT FOR JOE BIDEN!!! 😋

[CaptainMorgantown]

Or we could do the Sweden thing. They seem to be doing just fine.

[qwertyz]

The new mainstream media meme is we need a “6-week lockdown to starve the virus” .... beginning to spread everywhere ... faster than Covid-19 ... remember: “the virus ain’t done until Biden has won.”

For some reason, the Republicans in California chose this clown to be their candidate for governor in 2014—even though he had voted for Obama. During the campaign, he spent a week pretending to be homeless. The voters didn’t buy this stunt, and Jerry Brown beat him by 20 points.

[DeplorableGirl]

Living in an ivory tower will do this!.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Most? Or many? Or sum???

[Mom MD]
