Burning the House to Save It
Apparently, we are back-and-forth with saint-like "compromise" as we debate the extent of the stimulus package to counter the decline in the economy caused by the Virus. Profound meetings in the White House.
But...the lockdown caused the slowdown, mainly in New York and California. So, the GOVERNMENT caused the decline. So, do we just wreck the economy then rebuild it, like the Marshell Plan, whenever we see fit? Are there no consequences to this kind of behavior? Or should we just accept the interference of the government like "scorched earth," where the interference destroys everything then the government heroically rebuilds it.
Or is it just possible that the guy who was afraid a new army unit would tip Guam over is not an outlier?
