Comments from the Fed's Kashkari:

  • Really pleased that a lot of the focus is on keeping workers attached to business
  • If downturn is long, could see thousands of businesses going out of business, we want to avoid that
  • Overall he is optimistic we will get through the crisis

Some very superficial comments from Kashkari. I would prefer to hear some Fed members get into the details of the 13 programs they've rolled out since the end of Feb.
