CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY DECEMBER 29, 2020
SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS AND OTHER LEFTISTS SAY IT WAS “CRUEL” FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP NOT TO HAVE SIGNED THE HUGE SO-CALLED STIMULUS BILL THAT IS LOADED WITH MORE PORK THAN CAN BE FOUND ON A PIG FARM. HE SUBSEQUENTLY DID OVER THE WEEKEND. THE BILL INCLUDES MONEY TO PAKISTAN FOR GENDER STUDIES, AND OTHER FOREIGN AID THAT IS NOT JUSTIFIED UNDER ANY SCENARIO. THE BILL PROVIDES $600 A WEEK TO THE UNEMPLOYED, MORE THAN SOME PEOPLE MAKE AND ADDICTING THEM TO MORE GOVERNMENT, MEANING DEMOCRATS.
WHAT’S CRUEL IS FOR GOVERNORS AND MAYORS TO UNILATERALLY CLOSE MANY PLACES THAT EMPLOY PEOPLE WHEN THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT ESPECIALLY RESTAURANTS CONTRIBUTE TO THE SPREAD OF THE VIRUS. PUTTING PEOPLE BACK TO WORK IS HUMANE AND THE LEAST CRUEL THING TO DO. WE ALREADY KNOW ABOUT MASKS, HAND-WASHING AND KEEPING SIX FEET APART. IF THIS WORKS, WHY CAN’T PEOPLE WORK AND EAT IN SUCH AN ENVIRONMENT?
THE ELITES HAVE BEEN RUNNING AND RUINING TOO MANY LIVES FOR TOO LONG. IT’S TIME TO STAND UP AND TELL THEM “NO MORE.” IT’S WE THE PEOPLE, NOT YOU THE GOVERNMENT, THE ESTABLISHMENT AND THE ELITES, ALL OF WHOM ARE STILL GETTING PAID. I’M CAL THOMAS.
