Powell at Senate tomorrow let’s see if Dems there at least exhibit some new concern about the economy under the current case surge…

As far as it looks to me Biden/Summers have given Powell orders to “take away the punch bowl!”… as if we are all having too good of a time with 1M new cases oer day and new shut downs…
