1. Sung Won Sohn:

   The key to future economic growth is business spending. Evidently, businesses do not share the ebullience consumers have, this is not a good sign for the economy because there would be fewer jobs for consumers. For this reason, the Fed will cut rates next week.

   When you actually have to be responsible for doing this …. we did it for seven years in my office, respecting civil liberties and protecting the homeland and I will make no apologies ever for protecting the lives and the safety of the American people, we have to give more tools to our folks to be able to do that, not fewer and then trust those people and oversee them to do it the right way.

About two dozen staffers were present at the complex. The Steelers are doing a soft reopening Tuesday mainly for medical personnel and rehabbing players. They expect to ramp up use of their facility next week under league guidelines. As the Cardinals reopen, only essential staffers will be involved, far fewer than the 75 allowed at the facility. The Super Bowl champion Chiefs also opted for a soft opening, as did the Falcons, with only about 15 people at their complex on Tuesday. Those numbers will increase over the next week.

5. Robert Reich:
