re: #1 aagcobb

I would add, what can the fed do?

No one expects he fed to bat 1000 given the fluid nature of the economy, but what could/should they do?

Seems to me the safest bets are to build/rebuild infrastructure (and not just highways, The electricity grid is in bad shape, water mains are ancient all over the country, etc) and to make sure our trade treaties are balanced.

And there there is domestic energy production but that is a hot potato, unfortunately.
