The Federal Reserve and the Trump administration are jumping into action to counter the coronavirus crisis.
What do people make of that? Emails I receive fall, broadly, into two categories: Those who think Trump is doing an excellent job, and those who think he is incompetent to handle the situation.
This is not a time for partisan bickering. We must come together and defeat the coronavirus. With the exception of one very intelligent person, everybody who has written me has missed one of the most important points. Let’s explore with the help of two charts.
