The adherents of Gordon Gecko strike against.

This sounds like the old DoD axiom that the mission is more important than the men, which has always stuck in my crawl as myopic, sadistic and psychopathic.

So much for the US being that “shining city on the hill”, paraphrased from St. Ronnie Reagan the Moronic.

I had to do a search to find out who this Hollingsworth character is and why I should care.

Link to USA Today Article.

Quote:
Indiana Republican Rep. Trey Hollingsworth said Tuesday that sending Americans back to work at the risk of falling ill from coronavirus is the "lesser of these two evils" compared with the tanking economy.

"... certainly the social scientists are telling us about the economic disaster that is going on," he said.  "Our GDP is supposed to be down 20% alone this quarter.  It is policymakers’ decision to put on our big boy and big girl pants and say it is the lesser of these two evils.

"That is our responsibility and to abdicate that is to insult the Americans that voted us into office."

What a putz.  What an effingly ignorant, heartless, brainless putz.

Sadly, that’s the way both parties have been since the Reagan Administration. And people wonder why I refuse to vote?! The last Politicos that deserved my vote was 1) John Heinz (Deceased, and former US Senator for PA and 2) Pete Flaherty, former mayor of Pittsburgh.
