    Sorry but the doctors say emphatically just the opposite and your self serving conjecturing does not trump them. And both are driver for without an economy we can't afford to fight COVID and we will suffer for decades if we have a complete collapse perhaps causing more deaths than we could even imagine for COVID. Biden declaring he will do only and solely what some unelected scientist tells him to do is absurd and dangerous and besides that he has his own scientist so why won't he tell us what they are telling him he should do if elected?

    I hope we can agree that both sides can find scientists that will support their narratives. I'm not going to measure yardsticks with you over this point. The economy is slowing down and the stock market took a bit of a hit today and I imagine we will see more instability on that front. Whatever the reason and driver I am hopeful we can rise to the challenge.

    Yes, I know who can be chosen. Do you have a point or don't you?

    Trump was whining about the operation of FOMC in 2019. No President can control Federal Reserve operations by design.

    "The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) consists of twelve members--the seven members of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; and four of the remaining eleven Reserve Bank presidents, who serve one-year terms on a rotating basis. The rotating seats are filled from the following four groups of Banks, one Bank president from each group: Boston, Philadelphia, and Richmond; Cleveland and Chicago; Atlanta, St. Louis, and Dallas; and Minneapolis, Kansas City, and San Francisco. Nonvoting Reserve Bank presidents attend the meetings of the Committee, participate in the discussions, and contribute to the Committee's assessment of the economy and policy options.

    The FOMC holds eight regularly scheduled meetings per year. At these meetings, the Committee reviews economic and financial conditions, determines the appropriate stance of monetary policy, and assesses the risks to its long-run goals of price stability and sustainable economic growth."

    Why don't you deal with what Powell is saying?

    All they see is "mask" and "social distancing," and "stimulus":

    "Unemployment and bankruptcies will always be part of the economy, he acknowledged. But having an 'inappropriate' amount of either is bad for the longer term outlook. For example, the number of permanent layoffs has been rising after a large number of workers were initially classified has having temporarily lost their jobs.
    'Once you're permanently laid off it's just difficult to get back into the workforce,' Powell" said. https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/06/economy/fed-powell-coronavirus-stimulus/index.html

    I think they are looking forward to the "Newer Deal," which they will claim is to fix Trump's depression. And we know why packing the court comes up with that deal.

    Learning how to WORK with a problem (using masks, and ventilation...) is harder than escaping it (closing down).

    We have nothing to fear but...Democrats.

    Here is what I wrote about Trump. Try again...?

    He should get testing and contact tracing straightened out, stop interfering with the CDC, encourage wearing masks and respirators, stop pressuring states to scrap mitigation efforts, increase production and distribution of respirators, and stop undermining confidence in the vaccination approval process.​

    There's plenty in what I wrote we can discuss.

    Coming out smelling like a rose. I would link to you do exactly that, not responding to a question, but spouting your mouth off, in this topic, but for some reason it's not there.

    Palm Beach County includes homes like this one...

    Democrats don't represent everyone in Palm Beach County.

    As I said, Democrats tend to represent poor people.

    I asked about Biden and all he says is he will talk to scientist other than saying he will do what we are already doing.

    And now that Dirty Donnie the Superspreader is back in the White House, his first victim is Stephen Miller.

    LOL - Well, that explains why Democrats look down on poor white folks.

    Meanwhile, back on the Democratik Plantation...

    The Demokrats' self-styled myth of being the "party of the little guy" died a long time ago, bro...

    This is who Demokrats tend to represent :above:

    The question is do we just listen to these unnamed scientist as Biden says, or do we listen to the medical experts and economic experts too? And again Biden bragged about his panel of experts who would guide his campaign and COVID policies and apparently he's not talking to them or they can't come up with anything for him to tell use what they are telling. It's REAL easy to say "As President I will have LOTS of meetings, see what a great leader I will be" as opposed to THIS is what I will do.

    Thanks for clarifying. I took Biden's comments to mean he would listen to the scientists in the CDC, FDA, NIH, etc... should he become President.

    Nice try we all know why you said" He was Trump's choice. Did you expect Congress would go with Ivanka or a trucker?"

    Number speak enough

    Answer who has more per capita deaths who has far far more cases??

    United States. So it would be safe to assume that Trudeau did something right unlike trump.

    We know Trump talks to both and all the things he did with the task force. It's time for Biden to state what he will do different and not just talk about it and try to figure it out.

    Trump already does that scientist, the medical experts AND the economic experts. It has to be a mix of all of them, Biden saying he will just listen to scientist and just do what scientist say if folly and dangerous for the country.

    Trump talks but clearly doesn't do something called listen........ all his talks are more like dictation on what to say thats the only thing and it is clearly obvious that those stories are true.

    After whining "Am I going to die" last Friday

    Trump supposedly "gets it" and then tells us not to be afraid of this horror (that has killed over two hundred thousand people)

    And then gets back to the White House...throws off his mask (while wheezing away) and wades into a crowd of people...still infected

    And now calls getting infected a "blessing from God"

    My God people

    WTF
