He better. It’s his greatest pendulum as Prez..Money talks and BS walks.

Even though medical experts may differ. The economy drives erthing here...

For Trump - whose decision-making has been guided largely by his reelection prospects - the analysis, coupled with Hassett's grim predictions of economic calamity, provided justification to pivot to where he preferred to be: cheering an economic revival rather than managing a catastrophic health crisis.

What a total piece of shit article. A 100% opinion piece by WAPO rat journalists.

These articles are worthless.

Because he knows the reality of the situation in totality

Who do these idiots think pays for the care of Great Unky Elmer so he can live another 6 months being spoon fed baby food? It’s like the long-term reality of 30 million newly unemployed has no effect on these coronabro morons if we save ONE LIFE.

You could have taken care of Elmer without shutting down the country. Test the staff on a regular basis and take their temperature. What is happening with a foursome on a golf course or pints after work in a pub have nothing to do with Elmer. The thing that still pisses me off is that tyrants like Brown think that shutting it down until July 6 is somehow going to save thousands of Oregon lives. As Oregon tax revenue collapses the whining of the leftards for more money to pay government staff which most haven't been doing jack sh*t will be unrelenting.

State taxes will be raised yet again next session. I’m guessing a sales tax is less than a year away in Oregon with additional sales tax in Multnomah County. Someone is going to need to pay for Larry the Government Lifer’s two existing PERS pensions along with the 3rd consecutive government job he’s working now.

I do not know of one elected official who doesn't spend their entire term organizing the next election.

NEVER VOTE FOR AN INCUMBENT

Oh, and Democrat states are going to start taking a chunk of your 401ks as well as federally if the Rats take over DC because THINK OF THE CHILDREN.

Income tax implementation in WA will happen, too. It will be one big funky bunch of liberal utopias on the west coast.

The idea of the govt. floating the economy for a few months because it can not only seems impossible to them, but also wrong.

Weird how some can walk and chew gum at the same time, while the Dems and their media toadies scream "No They Can't."

Nobody needs food or heat while people are dying, Goddamnit! How dare some selfish fucks survive!!!! Immoral!!!
