    So CBO assumes a V-shaped recession and predicts we'll turn around and stop declining.. err... right now apparently... But in the long run a slow and steady decline into a bottomless abyss.

    The notion that the economic decline has effectively halted and we'll rise faster than we fell is fantasy that will soon be proven so within a couple months.

    No wonder the Fed went bat-shit crazy and pumped a trillion into the economy.

    Next meeting I'll bet the money pump jumps to 2 or 3 trillion.
