Rush is a bit out there, but he's onto something with this point, I think.
If you don't think this has become political, you are not living in the real world.
Now the shutdown is not about saving lives, but it's about defeating Trump in November.
This is a HUGE advantage for Democrats to blame Trump and pin the ailing economy on him. Notice some of these folks on this board who are now repeating the deceptive line "Trump lies. People die."
LOL the politicization -- well, it's already starting.
How about think logically for a second instead of about this team bull****.
Why would states like say CA that have no shot to vote for Trump anyway destroy the economy on purpose to make sure Trump loses when he’s not winning that state no matter what?
They do it as a virtue signal, a sign of "resistance". Also, them harming themselves has a snowball effect on the economy at large. They don't exist in a bubble....other than ideologically.

As I said don’t you think Trump is politicizing this too?
He wants people to go back to work not because he cares about them But because the economy is his only hope to get re elected so he wants people back to work even if it kills them.
You act like only democratic politicians do things for their own self interests and republican politicians somehow care about the people lol

And you all act like there are no negative consequences to the shut downs.
That everything else that people have to deal with in their lives has just politely stopped in order for us to deal with the Coronavirus.
It hasn't.
That suicides, divorce, alcoholism and domestic violence aren't all up
That people aren't losing their businesses and life's savings.
They are.
That millions of essential employees aren't risking themselves for crap pay and no thanks so you can sit at home.
They are.
All most people are asking for is some logical consistency and measured response.

Not cutting off the head to spite the body.
And you act like there is an obvious answer to this and governors should be listening to people on message boards and if they don’t their horrible people who have an agenda.
How about this? How about this is a highly new unpredictable thing and governors jobs right now are extremely extremely hard trying to balance what the right thing to do is.
Yes we all can have opinions but to act like you have the answer to this no questions asked and if they don’t do it the way you want their wrong or evil is so ignorant and arrogant.
This is an extremely difficult situation that none of us for sure no what the right way to go is.
They will do it just because the right wants to open things up. For about a week when Trump wanted everything shut down you had democrat governors talking about reopening. It's basically a big cult for sheep.. they do the opposite of what their enemy does, regardless of their position. It's why most people ignore politics, because it's mostly a bunch of bull****.
If republicans started suddenly supporting abortion, you can bet the democrats would oppose it. Given how democrats always try to save every possible life including 90 year olds, it's odd that they would support killing babies. The only reason they do is because the right opposes it. It's not really about "a woman's right to choose." … it's about people needing an enemy to fight, regardless of who it is.

That is some silly stuff there.
People act as if it is only conservatives who have been impacted by the economic down turn. The financial consequences of this virus are very real for all kinds of people -- Conservatives don't have the market on getting hit hard economically.
I know liberal friends with small businesses that are happy to be able to open and operate. I know conservative friends not ready to open up (as the saying goes).
It's silly.
The only thing is that we should be thoughtful and measured as we get back to our daily livs. Letting our guard down will end up with even more economic downturn -- as well as health/medical downturn.
Being concerned, careful and thoughtful is not being paranoid, wanting things to tank...that's how conservative media is spinning it fo ryou folks.
Endless lockdowns are not a winning political strategy. I am enjoying watching Democrats destroy themselves by doing this. They are dumber than I thought.
It’s not about that, as you’ve been told repeatedly. As it stands now, nearly half of all businesses will not be able to return, bringing about massive and long-term unemployment to rival the Great Depression. ...
Economies come and they go ... and the come again. Ours will bounce back as always.
So you’re enjoying receiving government handouts and are banking on more to come while you sit on your ass all day watching nextflix......
Honestly doesn’t sound to bad. I wouldn’t mind living the deadbeat life for a few weeks just to see how it is.
Actually, many of us don't qualify for "handouts". Many of us have spent years saving, so when something like this happens, it's not a strain financially.
Your awesome President supposedly had the economy booming for the past 4 years, why aren't you more financially secure? Is it that you aren't financially responsible, regardless of who the president is?
