The presiding officer without objection. Mr. Thune mr. President , today is the first day of National Nurses week, an annual commemoration each may celebrating the contributions of nurses. So today seemed like a fitting day to come down to the floor and talk about the contributions of nurses and other essential workers over the past couple of months. Mr. President , we think about heroism, we tend to think of striking actions that take place in extreme circumstances. Running into burning buildings, jumping on to a grenade to save a fellow soldier. Racing out under fire to rescue a wounded comrade. And its right that when we think of heroes and we think such acts, acts of super human courage, generosity and selfsacrifice. But the past couple of months have also reminded us of another kind of heroism, the quiet heroism of doing ones duty, of getting up and going to work and doing your job day after day in difficult circumstances. Even when youre tired, even when youre scared, even when y
Under fire to rescue a wounded comrade. When we think of heroes in these acts, of superhuman courage, generosity and selfsacrifice. The past couple of months and also reminded of us of another kind of heroism. Quite heroism of doing wednesday. Getting up and going to work and doing a job day after day in difficult circumstances. Even when you are tired. Even when youre scared. Even when you know youre doing your job, places you in danger. Ive seen a lot of that heroism of the past couple of months. A lot of americans have been able to work during the coronavirus crisis. For many many more had to go out and do the work and cannot be done from home. Police officers, first responders, pharmacists, Grocery Store employees, farmers and ranchers, food supplyan workers, ileaning personnel, bank employees, utility workers, delivery drivers, and most of all, doctors and nurses. Over the past few weeks, we come to realize how much we rely on these individuals. And the society cannot operate with

Risk . This is bulls bears. Im david asman. Joining me, heather zumarraga, kristina partsinevelos, and jonathan hoenig. A measure of u. S. Manufacturing activity grew at the slowest pace on trade worries so is our economic expansion at risk . What do you think . I dont think our economic expansion is at risk, unless we have a fullblown trade war. Right now, after the g20, it doesnt look like we will have a fullblown trade war. I know we still need details on intellectual property theft, but the fact that we have at least paused tariffs in the short term is a good thing for the markets. Thats why the markets were soaring today. Economic expansion thats this long is always at risk of something ending it or nothing ending it. It doesnt go on forever, usually.
