    10 trillion and 0 reserve requirements, is what made stock market recover. The real economy, I do not see it getting back to normal any time soon. The way we spend even on small things have changed. We would need at least few years to go back to real normal, but even with that, how many small business will never reopen or go bust in near future? What effect will mass work from home, will have on commercial RE and so on.

  2. Exactly. We really have to wait to see what happens after the months of stimulus stops and when all businesses are allowed to re-open. Then we see where the new equilibrium is.

    My guess is that support will be continued, much like UBI, and the market will accept this. It will shrug off the huge debt levels, until the US dollar one day starts losing value and then nothing will stop it since they clearly won't be able to raise rates. But I figure this won't happen for years.

    Or you could be active in making sure the economy is successful through new macroeconomic policy. In the United Kingdom pension saving alterations and pension reform have enabled to the 2% economic growth rate to be hit over the last decade. See below.

    Just switch school of economic thought.

    Pension reform is never going to happen here in the US. Its all splintered state by state and held hostage by the individual unions. An example: every 20 years NY state has a constitutional convention where the constitution is revised and real pension reform could have happened. In 2017 public sector unions shipped their voters by the busload to the convention in order to vote down any such amendments. The US is not like most other G7 countries, there are massive inefficiencies, special interest lobbies and distortions across the board.

    In terms of pensions it might help if it is state level, that way you can get state level economic control provided. There are ways of doing it without costing anyboby anything and getting great results. What about supplementary income, it is another method of increasing growth.
