A very solid show this morning with two scientists from Stanford giving their takes on how to move the U.S. economy into a re-boot mode using the data available.
Again…I will write this—you have to get the U.S. economy going again if you want to continue programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. It will be the lower segments of our economy who now more than ever will need these social safety net programs to get thru this pandemic.
You have to pinpoint and calibrate who’s most at risk and to isolate those specific segments as opposed to cratering the very economy which funds the three programs I mention above.
Like it or not the $23 trillion GDP U.S. economy is based on human consumption of goods and services. Just be smart about it and use the science in a smart way.
The Smerconish question of the week was one which I saw coming earlier this week with my disdainful view of Elizabeth Warren’s trashing of Michael Bloomberg and Al Franken.
Should Joe Biden be required to give full access to his archives at the University of Delaware to search for anything related to Tara Reade?
The results:
55% voted yes
45% voted no
I voted yes and just so we’re clear the NY Times Editorial Board voted yes as well.
You can’t play it both ways. The standard was set when the Elizabeth Warren faction removed Al Franken from the U.S. Senate.
Have a nice week-end as we all explore our new normal.
