Trump considering second task force dedicated to reopening economy
Washington Examiner ^ | 04/05/2020 | Dominick Mastrangelo

President Trump signaled he is open to creating a second White House task force for implementing a plan to reopen the American economy, which is now virtually shut down by the coronavirus.

"Thinking about it, getting a group of people and we have to open our country," Trump told reporters Saturday. "You know, I had an expression, the cure can't be worse than the problem itself. Right? I started by saying that, and I continue to say it. The cure cannot be worse than the problem itself. We got to get our country open."

The president sent a tweet hours earlier endorsing the idea, floated by Fox News anchor and former White House press secretary Dana Perino.

"I think we need a 2nd task force assembled at direction of POTUS to look ahead to reopening of the economy. Made up of a nonpartisan/bipartisan mix of experts across industry sectors, so that we have their recommendations & plan," Perino said.

Long overdue and really the only criticism I have of Trump wrt all of this. He should have implemented such a panel to run parallel with the medical task Force.

He’s right.....We’re not seeing anywhere near the predictions touted by Fauci. I truly believe Hillary and Obama are feeding Fauci.

Actually I think this is probably a good idea if he’s very careful about who is on it. We need concrete steps with clear benchmarks because the rats and the MSM will be fighting him the whole way. A recovering economy will be a bigger crises than the virus to those bastards.

When you see people making a fashion statement with their face masks it’s time to shut this farce down. Now! Where are the piles of bodies being burned in the streets or being bulldozed into ditches?

We don’t need a task force.

Just serology.

That he spends so much time at CNN is strong evidence.

Agree - and could he please also have a special task force solely focused on getting the therapies distributed that are working even if there has not been time for the Fauci kind of trials done?

From the beginning when it became clear who was at risk the quarantine should have applied only to the old, unhealthy, or immuno compromised. The rest of the world should be allowed to carry on with masks and sanitizers. Limit the number of people allowed in businesses at a time, keep your distance from others, but CONTINUE WITH LIFE.

This is so typical of the stupidity of government. It either does far too little or wildly overreacts.

.

Yes all these social media attention whores wearing masks on their videos. It’s ludicrous. There is no real crisis.

I dont think we understand the nature and scope of this event. Donald Trump will remake the economy this way! I may be a bit optimistic but this could be cloward piven in reverse! We all (well... Okay so maybe it was just me..) thought that the democrats were going to use a crisis to introduce their communist revolution and remake america into some kind of venesuelan hell hole. But at this moment i’m thinking that Donald Trump may have read their book!

Now let us contemplate what that may look like?
