thedailycaller--2020-03-19--What Does Economic Recovery After The Coronavirus Look Like?

With the U.S. and the world reeling from the effects of the novel coronavirus , the United States economy has taken a massive hit .
The stock market has erased almost all of the gains made during the Trump presidency and jobless claims across the country are skyrocketing .
Unemployment claims in Tennessee have tripled since March 8 and CNBC is predicting that the U.S. GPD could shrink by as much as 13 percent .
The drastic coronavirus relief bills the Trump administration is considering are also a testament to how fragile many in government believe the current economy is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what does economic recovery look like after the coronavirus recedes ?
There is a real possibility that the economic landscape in America could be very different following this crisis .
There has been a mass reconsideration on the part of governments and companies of the wisdom of placing supply lines and manufacturing capabilities in China , a country where the government can nationalize industries at will , and has proven itself an untrustworthy partner in the global market .
Author Gordan Chang recently told the Caller , “ I think that you would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ non-strategic sectors , would start moving factories out of China , just because they realize that long-term China is no longer a reliable member of global supply chains .
“ I think that as a matter of national policy when Trump , if he gets a second term , or even a Democrat , will decrease America ’ s reliance on China in those strategic areas , ” Chang added .
( RELATED : Author Gordon Chang Talks About The Future Of China With The Coronavirus Outbreak ) This belief that supply lines @ @ @ @ @ @ @ China is echoed by some in government , Missouri Republican Sen. Josh Hawley tweeted Wednesday that American companies looking for a bailout should come to Congress “ prepared to explain how you will move supply chains and jobs back to America.
” While the national debt has seemingly stopped being a concern for either party , both Congress and the Trump administration are looking at bailouts for the various industries impacted by this crisis , in addition to cash payments for reportedly every American .
In fact , Maxine Waters is proposing a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ American and limited student debt forgiveness .
The White House reportedly prefers a $ 1,000 direct deposit , similar to the $ 600 stimulus during the Obama administration .
Both of these plans will be astronomically expensive , with some estimates placing the cost for an upcoming third relief bill as high as 1.3 trillion dollars .
However , they are receiving pushback in some corners of Washington , with both Rep. Matt Gaetz and Lindsey Graham reportedly pushing back on the bailouts .
The post-coronavirus economy will have to find a way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as well as any possible inflationary side-effects from giving upwards of thousands of dollars to every individual American .
The Chinese have allegedly contained the virus within their borders , as their cases and deaths continue to fall , however , their economic outlook does not bode well for America ’ s prospects .
During their efforts to contain the virus , almost every area of the Chinese economy shrunk and the unemployment rate rose .
Industrial production reportedly declined by 13 percent through January and February and they are facing a GDP @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Barrons.com .
( RELATED : Trump Waives FDA Regulations , Opening Door For Chloroquine And Other Drugs To Be Used For Coronavirus Therapy ) It remains to be seen if Trump ’ s stimulus packages and bailouts will have their desired effect and if we can avoid Treasury Secretary Mnuchin ’ s 20 percent unemployment worst case scenario .
The recovery will undoubtedly be difficult and expensive , but if it results in a decreased dependence on China then there could be an unexpected silver lining .

With the U.S. and the world reeling from the effects of the novel coronavirus, the United States economy has taken a massive hit. The stock market has erased almost all of the gains made during the Trump presidency and jobless claims across the country are skyrocketing.

thedailycaller--2020-03-19--The Liberal Media’s Credibility Crashes

The Liberal Media’s Credibility Crashes

It is one of the oldest of human lessons , straight from “ Aesop ’ s Fables.
” A shepherd boy watching a flock of sheep amuses himself by yelling “ Wolf !
” — knowing correctly nearby villagers will quickly run to help him .
Sure enough the villagers come running — only to find there is no wolf in sight .
Shaking their heads , the villagers go back to their chores , and then the shepherd boy does it again .
The villagers race back again and again — no wolf .
They have been tricked a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have left the laughing shepherd boy a second time , in fact a real wolf does in fact appear and makes a beeline for the sheep .
The now-terrified shepherd boy frantically yells “ Wolf !
” But this time ?
Having been lied to twice , the villagers don ’ t show up .
In the case of the liberal media , or as I call it the Leftist State Media ( LSM ) , this ancient Aesop Fable is a reminder of exactly what the LSM has been doing to their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump .
Working hand-in-hand with their Democrat allies , the first cry of “ Wolf !
” was the Trump-Russia collusion fairy tale .
It was a ridiculous story on the face of it .
His media antagonists might hate the guy , but to believe he was stupid enough to try and steal the presidency with help from Vladimir Putin was bizarre beyond belief .
Finally the long-awaited ( by the LSM ) Mueller report was issued , followed by Mueller ’ s appalling performance at a congressional hearing , in which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in his own report .
There was no collusion to be found .
Shocking — not .
The result for the Trump-Russia collusion media ?
Here was this report from right here at the Daily Caller , Maddow ’ s ratings were down 17 % .
( RELATED : MSNBC ’ s Rachel Maddow Sees Ratings Surpassed By Another Fox News Program ) The next cry of “ Wolf !
” from the media came with the impeachment saga .
A perfectly unremarkable phone call between Trump and the president of Ukraine was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ weeks on end , the nation was swamped with coverage that amounted to : “ OMG !
!
!
We got him !
” When , of course , as most sane observers well knew , there was not only no “ there ” there but right from the beginning the whole impeachment drama was an exercise in futility , with a Republican-controlled Senate guaranteed to not convict .
Again , as the LSM hyped its “ Wolf !
” drama , their credibility — its ratings — took yet another hit .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ low , according to reporting from the Daily Caller .
( RELATED : CNN Contradicts Its Own Fact Check About US Allegedly Rejecting WHO Coronavirus Test Kits ) And now ?
Yet again media malfeasance from the Leftist State Media is in play a third time — over the coronavirus !
Back there on Jan. 29 , here was the far left Mother Jones headlining this : The New Coronavirus Is Scary — But This Year ’ s Flu Is Much Scarier !
Got that ?
The flu is worse by far .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ later , the president announced travel restrictions with China .
CNN jumped on this instantly .
The CNN headline ?
“ The US coronavirus travel ban could backfire .
Here ’ s how ” Again , the point here was that Trump was not only overreacting — but in overreacting the whole travel restriction business was going to wind up backfiring and hurting the country .
But by Feb. 26 , NewsBusters was reporting this finding from their coverage of the Leftist State Media , in this case two of the broadcast television @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of ABC quoting Speaker Nancy Pelosi as saying this : SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI ( D-CA ) : What he ’ s doing is late , too late , anemic .
Hopefully , we can make up for the loss of time .
Got that ?
For Pelosi and her media allies , of a sudden , Trump , who was condemned for being too tough , was suddenly not tough enough .
These are mere samples from what became a pattern in liberal media coverage of the virus .
At first , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bad as the flu — nothing to see here folks , move along .
From there the new tale was that Trump was overreacting , and his actions would backfire as there was no need for travel restrictions .
Then — presto !
— He was doing too little , too late .
Here is the danger in all of this media malfeasance .
( RELATED : Media Pundits Pounce After Trump Calls Press Fake News For Accurately Reporting His Google Flub ) The liberal media has spent the past three years crying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And in the doing they wound up torpedoing their own credibility as news organizations .
Now there is in fact a real crisis out there .
One that has deadly consequences .
And millions of Americans simply have no trust remaining in the liberal media .

Working hand-in-hand with their Democrat allies, the first cry of “Wolf!” was the Trump-Russia collusion fairy tale. It was a ridiculous story on the face of it. His media antagonists might hate the guy, but to believe he was stupid enough to try and steal the presidency with help from Vladimir Putin was bizarre beyond belief.
Finally the long-awaited (by the LSM) Mueller report was issued, followed by Mueller’s appalling performance at a congressional hearing, in which he appeared to not know what was in his own report. There was no collusion to be found. Shocking — not.
The result for the Trump-Russia collusion media? Here was this report from right here at the Daily Caller, Maddow’s ratings were down 17%. (RELATED: MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow Sees Ratings Surpassed By Another Fox News Program)
The next cry of “Wolf!” from the media came with the impeachment saga. A perfectly unremarkable phone call between Trump and the president of Ukraine was spun into an impeachable offense. For weeks on end, the nation was swamped with coverage that amounted to: “OMG!!! We got him!” When, of course, as most sane observers well knew, there was not only no “there” there but right from the beginning the whole impeachment drama was an exercise in futility, with a Republican-controlled Senate guaranteed to not convict.
Again, as the LSM hyped its “Wolf!” drama, their credibility — its ratings — took yet another hit. In December CNN hit a three-year ratings low, according to reporting from the Daily Caller. (RELATED: CNN Contradicts Its Own Fact Check About US Allegedly Rejecting WHO Coronavirus Test Kits)
And now? Yet again media malfeasance from the Leftist State Media is in play a third time — over the coronavirus!
Back there on Jan. 29, here was the far left Mother Jones headlining this:
The New Coronavirus Is Scary — But This Year’s Flu Is Much Scarier!
Got that? The flu is worse by far. Stop with the panic.
Two days later, the president announced travel restrictions with China. CNN jumped on this instantly. The CNN headline? “The US coronavirus travel ban could backfire. Here’s how”
Again, the point here was that Trump was not only overreacting — but in overreacting the whole travel restriction business was going to wind up backfiring and hurting the country.
But by Feb. 26, NewsBusters was reporting this finding from their coverage of the Leftist State Media, in this case two of the broadcast television networks:
ABC, CBS Boost Dem Suggestions Trump Not Taking Virus Seriously
This gem made a point of ABC quoting Speaker Nancy Pelosi as saying this:
SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI (D-CA): What he’s doing is late, too late, anemic. Hopefully, we can make up for the loss of time.
Got that? For Pelosi and her media allies, of a sudden, Trump, who was condemned for being too tough, was suddenly not tough enough.
These are mere samples from what became a pattern in liberal media coverage of the virus. At first, the virus was not even as close as bad as the flu — nothing to see here folks, move along. From there the new tale was that Trump was overreacting, and his actions would backfire as there was no need for travel restrictions. Then — presto! — He was doing too little, too late.
Here is the danger in all of this media malfeasance. (RELATED: Media Pundits Pounce After Trump Calls Press Fake News For Accurately Reporting His Google Flub)
The liberal media has spent the past three years crying “Wolf!” about Donald Trump. And in the doing they wound up torpedoing their own credibility as news organizations.
Now there is in fact a real crisis out there. One that has deadly consequences. And millions of Americans simply have no trust remaining in the liberal media. Their credibility has now crashed.
If this wasn’t such a serious situation, this would be knee-slap funny.
But it is.

Comedian Adam Carolla brought a dose of philosophy to the isolation most Americans are experiencing as they hunker down in light of the coronavirus crisis .
Appearing on Thursday night ’ s edition of “ Tucker Carlson Tonight , ” Carolla likened the temporary isolation required to fight the virus ’ s spread to “ a short prison sentence ” during which Americans should “ do the time ” instead of letting the time “ do you.

“ It ’ s a short prison sentence .

Hopefully we are going to learn that family is more important than your savings account .
They are both important , but I think we have a chance to like stop and re-prioritize and shift just a little bit.

”

Comedian Adam Carolla brought a dose of philosophy to the isolation most Americans are experiencing as they hunker down in light of the coronavirus crisis.
Appearing on Thursday night’s edition of “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Carolla likened the temporary isolation required to fight the virus’s spread to “a short prison sentence” during which Americans should “do the time” instead of letting the time “do you.”
WATCH:
“It’s a prison sentence,” Carolla said, responding to Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s question about how Americans should perceive the quarantine. “It’s a short prison sentence. And as they say, as the convicts say, you can do the time or the time can do you, and I figure you should do the time, meaning go out, build a tree house with your son and daughter. Cook lasagna with your wife. Don’t let the time do you. Don’t end up with a face tattoo and a toilet filled with prison wine. You go out and use this little snapshot in life to live your life.”
Carolla questioned when change, over the long view, has ever “really been bad, big picture,” speculating that some of the changes society is experiencing could be “a good thing.”
“That’s the time you learn to play Stratego with your 9-year-old son,” he said. “Whatever it is, I think philosophically, change is always good, even negative change is good with time.”
“What do you think we are going to learn now that we are forced to take a pause, get off the treadmill, experience a little silence?” asked the Daily Caller co-founder.
“I think we are going to learn something about ourselves,” Carolla responded. “Hopefully, we are going to learn that it’s not all about the bottom line. Hopefully we are going to learn that family is more important than your savings account. They are both important, but I think we have a chance to like stop and re-prioritize and shift just a little bit.”
“Again, do you want to do the time or do you want the time to do you?” he continued. “We really all have to look at this as a small window. We’re almost in prison. You want to come out with a great novel or do you want to come out with a venereal disease?” (RELATED: Tucker Carlson: Shutting Down Economy Poses ‘Its Own Kind Of Public Health Risk’)
“So those are your choices, the great novel or the venereal disease,” responded Tucker, laughing. “I actually think what you said is about the most hopeful thing I have heard and I mean that, since this all began, and I knew that you would put it all in perspective for us.”

Winning The Coronavirus War

America has faced great challenges in the past , and we have always gotten through them stronger than we were before .
From the Civil War to the Great Depression to World War II , we have been through some horrific stuff .
In the Civil War alone , we lost 750,000 people , or 2 % of our population at the time .
That would be 7 million deaths at our current population level .
In World War II , we suffered another 405,000 deaths .
