## Dr. Allen Sinai on U.S. Recessions

Since World War II there have been 11 "ends to US market expansion". Eight due to too much inflation and a delayed response by the Fed. Two due to bubbles. And finally, the one no one saw coming. But where does a global pandemic fit in these? Is there a precedent for COVID-19? What do you think?
