(TNS) No doubt upset that tens of millions of Americans have been thrown out of work due to widespread mandatory closures of businesses by governors and mayors given faulty coronavirus modeling, President Donald Trump is forming an economic task force aimed at making recommendations to reopen the country.
And the better news is, the task force will launch Tuesday, headed by newly appointed chief of staff and former U.S. Rep. Mark Meadows.

Last week, Trump noted that his decision to rescind his “30 days to stop the spread” guidelines will be “the biggest decision I’ve ever had to make,” and we can certainly understand that.
But it’s more than just a decision about lives; it’s a decision about livelihoods as well because poverty can and does kill just like a virus does.
Fox News reports:
“I want to get it open as soon as possible,†Trump told reporters at Friday’s briefing with members of the White House task force. “This country was meant to be open and vibrant and great.â€
The president added that he would formally convene an “Opening our Country” task force April 14 that will be comprised of doctors and business leaders. According to Trump, the second, smaller task force would “include names that you have a lot of respect for.”

In an effort to prevent the spread of coronavirus, the governors of 42 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico have issued so-called “stay-at-home” orders advising residents to remain indoors except to perform essential work, duties or chores.
Those orders, as well as federal social distancing guidelines and restrictions on public gatherings, have ground large portions of the U.S. economy to a halt. According to the Labor Department, more than 16.8 million people have filed for unemployment insurance since the middle of March, when the federal coronavirus guidelines went into effect.
The president said he was continuing to listen to advice and recommendations from Drs. Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx, both of whom have warned that reopening too quickly could result in a resurgence of coronavirus cases.
“I listen to them about everything,†the president said, adding: “We’re not doing anything until we know that this country is going be healthy. We don’t want to go back and start doing it over again.â€
But look, states are starting to suffer economically as well. In fact, a coalition of state governments is already demanding that taxpayers bail them out to the tune of $500 billion after they issued shutdown orders.
The Washington Times reported:
In a statement Saturday, the National Governors Association, a bipartisan group of 55 governors, said the stay-at-home orders issued across the country have crippled state economies.
The organization’s chair Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan and the vice chair New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said the stimulus package Congress recently passed overlooked the states’ needs when it comes to the crippling economies and lost revenue that funds a state’s needs.
“We must be allowed to use any state stabilization funds for replacement of lost revenue, and these funds should not be tied to only COVID-19 related expenses. Congress must amend the CARES Act to allow this flexibility for existing federal funding,†the organization said in a statement.

Uh, no. There are states — nine, to be exact — that have not shut down their economies and they’re doing just fine. Many of the states that did shut down had minuscule numbers of infections. So the decision was theirs and now they have to live with it.
Meanwhile, the president is going to be criticized by the garbage media and Democrats no matter what he does. If he keeps the current guidelines in place, we’ll have another Great Depression; if he makes recommendations to reopen, then every single coronavirus death will be blamed on him (though it’ll be up to individual governors and mayors to actually implement them because the president never issued a national shut-down order as he was being pressured to do by the Left).
So Trump may as well implement some policies that strike a reasonable balance, and that includes getting our economy going again.
Poverty kills too.
GOT SOMETHING TO SAY? COMMENT BELOW
Let’s get it moving Mr President. Meadows is a good man to start this thing going. Now all you need to do is put Dr Fauci on the Bench for bout a month, and defund WHO and the rest of the UN, make some very serious attackws on the CHinese in retaliation for their Corona Chinese virus Pearl Harbor-like sneak attack using germ warfare attack on our Homeland. We’re ready to fight and not just wait indoors and be dictated to as to how we can live by a pack of PC fools in the Democrat party.
The first thing that should be done is to fulfill THE DUTY of THE PEOPLE And THROW OFF THE CORRUPT GOVERNMENT currently in DC!
If the vote don’t work, it’s all that is left.
Trials will ensure the honest ones can continue to SERVE, while the guilty are sentenced accordingly.
If any of the guilty are found guilty of high crimes or treason, to hell with ANY PC BS and PUBLICALLY HANG THEM as a message to any future tyrant wanna be’s
Now this is a good headline.
President Trump is a leader.
Can you imagine a Hillary Clinton economic task force ???
Yikes !!!
Hammer down, President Trump.
AND NOBODY HAS THE FLU !!!!!!!!!!
IT’S EVEN A WEAK ALLERGY SEASON !!!!!!
UP YOUR BUTT !!!!!!!!!!!
AND NOBODY EVEN COUGHS AT THE GROCERY STORES, 7-11 OR GAS STATIONS !!!!!!!
NEVER BEEN HEALTHIER !
… ‘cept for TDS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This morning I watched one of Saul Alinsky’s bastard children, Chris Wallace, coax a talking head doctor into telling his viewers President Trump is firing up the country too soon.
The talking head doctor said YES. The president is acting too quickly. This POS jackass had to follow his marching orders.
President Trump is correct. The media is the true enemy of the American people. I will be kind and not say that stupid people should be banned from TV.
Oops !
Using incendiary words like ‘ Work, Industry, Duties, Chores’ really makes the Democrat Party become more assholed and unhinged if it threatens their newest most important voting bloc – Those Unwilling to Work .
This was the happiest 15 minutes of AOC and the Dem squad’s lives (lives, tho short)
…all down the drain with positive outcome – people actually want to work ? …that’s gotta hurt
🙁
Don’t comply with any order that usurps your liberty. My rights are reserved, and never suspended. Our governor is a fakepublican shithead / dirtbag.
Butt Ramney ?????
lol, don’t answer.
When old bags likely to get it – Ginsburg 92, Maxine 82, Madeleine (Russia is our friend now !)Albright 82 , Feinstein 82, Pig/Pisslosi, Biden, Streisand and so on, aren’t falling over from flu like illary Clinstainus did on the campaign trail.
It is interesting that Clinstainus was keeling over every other week from the flu just 3 years ago.
Maybe she’s patient zero with the Covid’ ?
I would then change it’s name to the Clinstain Flu rather than Chinese Kung or Bird or Pig Flu… that would make all the race accusers and PETA Nazis happy too.
[…] task force, which will be led by newly appointed Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, will no doubt focus its recommendations on the regions of the country where COVID-19 cases are few […]
