Excellent Op Ed By Daniel Horowitz

[Bryce]

In light of the decision by that "Woman From Michigan" to continue the "lock-down" in Michigan through June 9th, this is something that should be taken to heart.

At present, governors and mayors face no political downside to suspending democracy and the economy with overly draconian measures. They only face accolades and praise from the media commensurate to the degree of lockdown they promote, based on the faulty science that failed so miserably in Europe. It’s time to make them feel the pain of their decisions so that they are forced to pursue a more prudent and balanced approach to coronavirus.

So far, all the damage to our liberty and economy is being pushed by state and local governments, not the feds. On the other hand, all the bailouts and responsibility for dealing with the fallout of their virtue-signaling decisions are being placed on the president. Isn’t it time for state legislatures and county councils to convene and take full responsibility? If they are big enough to declare nuclear winter on liberty, jobs, and the economy, they are big enough to handle the blowback and pay for their decisions.

To that end, citizens should pressure their state officials to suspend numerous forms of state taxation during the duration of the shutdown. The longer the shutdown continues, the longer states should do without their revenue. Furthermore, President Trump should promise that the $150 billion that state governments received during the last epic spending bill will not be present in the next one that will inevitably pass in a few weeks.

So he’s oblivious to the problems going on and why this is being done. Congratulations to him. Must be nice.

She hasn't (yet) extended the shelter-in-place order through June 9. Rather, she is requesting that the state legislature extend the state of emergency through that date.

Right, I thought that was sarcasm on Bryces part.
