19. So what do Republicans think will magically happen when America "reopens?"
Sat Apr 11, 2020, 01:13 PM
Apr 2020

On May 1-ish:

Individuals will just start getting on planes to fly off on leisure?

Folks will go back to buying aspirational homes, cars and durable goods like nothing ever happened?

Shoppers will head out on weekends for endless hours of retail therapy?

Restauramts and bars will instantly fill to capacity due to pent-up demand?

Of course I ask these questions rhetorically because we all know that consumer spending will be in the ditch for as long as their is no proven treatment or vaccine. Anyone not practicing coronavirus protection until then is doing so at their own peril.

Trump and the Republicans are on a rescue (suicide?) mission to prop the economy up at all costs before the November elections.

God save this country.
