Early Tuesday morning, President Trump continued to signal that it is his intention to re-open the U.S. economy and get Americans back to work sooner rather than later. Repeating yesterdays theme that the government cant afford to implement a draconian cure that is worse than the China Virus, the President issued the following tweet:
Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump Our people want to return to work. They will practice Social Distancing and all else, and Seniors will be watched over protectively & lovingly. We can do two things together. THE CURE CANNOT BE WORSE (by far) THAN THE PROBLEM! Congress MUST ACT NOW. We will come back strong!

Transcript:
Trump: The Senate and the House, we seem to be getting a long as much as you can get along. We seem to be getting a long now on a bill. I think that maybe had even less than an impact than the fact that were opening up this incredible country. Because we have to do that.
Id love to have it all open by Easter [April 12]. I would love to have it open by Easter, I will tell you that right now. I would have that. Its such an important day for other reasons, but Ill make it an important day for this, too. I would love to have the country opened up and just raring to go by Easter.

For an investment community hungering to see a bottom reached in the stock market indexes, this is a crucial moment in time. There is no way the markets can find their bottom when they have no certainty or even any real idea about when business might resume and start getting the economy fully back on-line.
Markets were already soaring today on the prospect of the Democrats caving in and allowing the Senate stimulus measure to move through the process. The Presidents move to set a firm target date for beginning to get the economy moving again will only serve to support that positive sentiment among investors longing for some good news.
As usual, President Trumps sense of timing yesterday and today was impeccable. Be glad hes your President.
That is all.
Exactly. I’m betting the rat Governors will keep their states shut down so they can Keep the economy down and be able to say we protected our citizens while that irresponsible Trump endangered American lives to boost his re-election.
Wonderful
Thanks for posting

EVERYTHING is political for these democrat-bolsheviks. Never let a crisis go to waste, etc., etc.
With that said I'm going to repeat what I've posted elsewhere:
People like me need to take the precautions necessary to protect ourselves. If that means working from home for longer, then so be it. If that means getting my groceries delivered by a family member, so be it. If that means I'm having to video-conference with my loved ones via skype, zoom or something else - so be it.
The rest of you need to get your butts back to work, providing for your families, getting our economy working again and developing the herd immunity that's going to be needed going forward! This shutting down the economy and causing all this pain for so many people is pure insanity.
I liked Easter. The 30th makes it very tough.
