Covid-19 versus American resilience

Too many Americans can see through the attempted government takeover on all levels that is being ushered in by the coronavirus “crisis.”

As was done under the Obama administration, Congress is using the cover of an emergency to force through unnecessary regulations. The pandemic emergency doesn’t reach a fraction of the annual flu season numbers that has already contributed to the deaths of some 22,000 in the United States alone. And the CDC projects that up to 55,000 could succumb before the year is out.

Covid-19, on the other hand, has been kept at bay by responsible reactions of most Americans, making the sweeping legislation before Congress obsolete before it hits the President’s desk.

Panic has been fostered by an irresponsible press and flagged by progressive legislators willing to use any excuse to limit American prosperity – climate change being the most recent precedent to the current hyped terror of a deadly virus that has a mortality rate in the United States of .14%.

State and city governments are feeling free to restrict business activity and mobility when they ignored typhoid and other deadly pestilences festering on the streets. While the tri-state area of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut have curtailed business and travel, L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti is threatening to prosecute owners of “nonessential” businesses – the guidelines set by power-hungry government officials – for operating without city absolution.

The full text of the $2+ Trillion “stimulus” bill that the Senate voted on Wednesday night, hasn’t been made available at this time for public view. After the attempt by the House to sabotage the bill by loading it up with funding for Planned Parenthood, the Kennedy Center, restrictions for carbon emissions and even a pay raise for themselves, how likely is it they will pass this without reading it as they have done with virtually every funding bill for the past dozen years?

Support of President Trump is unflagging and growing by his making certain that this “crisis” hasn’t gotten out of hand, but the idea that Americans aren’t resilient enough to handle a two or three week self-isolation program to nip the bug in the bud is offensive. Sure, folks would like a boost to keep finances in good order. However, every time the government gets involved by “assisting” it creates a bigger boondoggle, a huge deficit and funds being shunted into odd corners never to be found again.

It is hoped that the president will not allow a slick Congress to slip any of their shenanigans through in this overreaching bill, and will have no qualms about vetoing it if necessary.
