De Blasio: Wuhan Virus Is an Example of Why the Feds Need to Take Over 'Crucial Factories and Industries'

Here’s the reality. This is a war-like situation. We’re in a wartime scenario with a Mar-a-Lago attitude being used by the federal government. It’s so laid back, and I don’t understand it," he told MSNBC's Joy Reid.

"By the way, testing. How about ventilators? Where is the federal government making sure our hospitals have the ventilators we’re going to need? Where is the federal government when it comes to surgical masks, getting them distributed? This is a case for a nationalization of crucial factories and industries – literally a nationalization – that could produce the medical supplies to prepare this country for what we need."

I would say it’s proof we don’t want the government running the factories. They screwed this up.

Putting the government in charge of manufacturing and distributing anything is never efficient and it never works. Free markets are needed more than ever to make those decisions.

His wife’s missing (stolen) tax-payer dollars are exactly why we shouldn’t.

It’s political human waste like DeBlasio and the members of Congress who got us into this mess by selling the US out to China for decades.

The only solution is for the government - which to date has been disorganized and slow to act - to extend its reach further. That’ll make things better...

Totally agree. It’ll be the private sector which gets us out of this mess. BDB should watch from the sidelines.

In watching Trump's Rose Garden presentation I was impressed with two things:

1) How he brought in so many industry leaders who spoke of the commitments they are making.

2) I could not keep my eyes off of that lovely DJ chart and numbers that kept going up, up and up

I didn’t realize that Trump had been elected President of France.

And ask the Venezuelans how well nationalization works.

No, the answer is Trump’s way. The American way.

America needs to return to its independence, being able to support its own needs through a robust economy enjoyed by a prosperous and free people.

Their hunger for power knows no limits.

The Democrat Party truly admires Red China — and intends to rule the USA without political opposition.
