Dow falls 500 points as volatility dominates trade

U.S. stock benchmarks retreated again Thursday as Wall Street tangled with further volatility, with concerns about rising inflation and bond yields weighing on investor’s psyche against the backdrop of a relatively healthy domestic economy. - Marketwatch

Updated: In the minutes it took to update this thread, it's now off almost 800 points.
Updated: DOW is off over 700 points with 30 minutes remaining.
Original: DOW is off 550 points and headed south. Looks like a steady selloff.

4. Tax cuts

It's dogma to automatically believe tax cuts help the economy. We've all been conditioned to take it as a fact. Well, the Reps cut taxes over and over and over and over it leads to bad things for the economy. Maybe their policies are bad for the economy. Reagan's economy had 2 major recessions, Clinton's was great for 8 years, Bush's was awful for 8 years, Obama's was tepid but improved for 8 years. Why can't we start linking Republican policies to their outcomes?
