Causation is hard to prove. Magnitudes of one cause compared to another is even harder to prove in the bigger scheme of things. Lumping tariffs on top of a spending bill gives the appearance that trade policy was the driving cause of 5 0r 6 days of trading. You people are famous for your sound bite assessments of causation in economic policy. That's how QE and ACA happened. You can claim it's a different debate but that would be equivocal. When I read your post that you would "have done a combo, myself, and forced a bit of "moral hazard" on a few of the big banks/insurers/overly leveraged companies as a well as a pre-requist of helicopter money, but nobody asked me", nobody asked you because that's what they actually did. Ignoring that 5 years of QE can have any effect on market corrections is not surprising for you, Son of Judah.
"Moral hazard" was minimal at most, temporary and did little to change landscape.
Causation of single day market moves are not hard to prove. You can line the info publication up with the moves in, you know, real time.
The idea that 5 years of QE "suddenly" tanks a market 15 minutes after China announces retalitory tariffs list is just stupid, end stop. You can dance on the head of all the pins you want, but it doesn't make that claim fit for anyone but a pin-head.
But here, how's about looking at some, you know, data...
