LARRY KUDLOW: Apart from Texas, Arizona, California, and Florida, the economy isn’t going south – it’s going north JAKE TAPPER: Those are some pretty big states!
I can’t say where the economy is going. But here’s a fact: Pennsylvania had cut its daily new cases rate to under 400 per day when it had its general so-called reopening. Since then the rate climbed quickly and steadily. Now it’s over a thousand daily. We closed down, as a nation, but we never put the national testing and tracking system in so that we could control the new cases. We put our fingers in our ears and sang “la la la la la” instead of doing that. The virus is simply out of control.
What metric is he using … What about Georgia … everything is far from sunshine and lollipops there … and Louisiana and Mississippi and Alabama and South Carolina …
Is he thinking that hospitals being at around 102% of capacity is some sort of sign of success?
You don’t want who, I mean what Kudlow’s been ingesting.
Let’s just say when he spouts this stuff on TV, this Baghdad Bob level garbage is for an audience of one. Don’t know why anyone else needs to be subjected to it. Maybe the shows can take a cue from the attempted baseball season and give him two blatantly false statements, then yank him off the air the third time he tries to say up is really down.
Or that Texas has asked now for a second National Emergency declaration because of Hurricane Hanna that hit right where COVID is ravaging the state the worst?
There are now 149,000 US fatalities due to covid-19 with estimates of over 87,500 of them due to the actions and inactions of President Trump and his administration.
This includes the lack of leadership from the Senate Majority leader, Mr. McConnell, who owns these deaths as well. These were people with lives and families and dreams. And they died because of politics played by the most corrupt and inept Republican in the history of this country. And his party simply hid behind him wringing their hands (but not too much) wondering just what can they do? What frauds. They are criminals. They tried nothing, they did nothing, they said nothing as they watched others die. This is criminal. But they have mastered happy talk for sure. And FOX News is among this group as well, and it’s documented by their taped shows for posterity.
