Agreed, Skeeter. A crash would have triggered instant uncontrolled deflation; deflation is what they've been fighting, and still are.

Second stimulus? Very likely. Who knows, maybe another after that as the economy "porpoises" along.

Very few options left... if by some unforeseen magic the economy does improve significantly, then there's the now-latent risk of hyperinflation. But controlling liquidity and raising interest rates would stall the economy again, trigger new mortgage defaults, and push national debt payments towards "impossible".

The bag of monetary tricks is almost empty.
