Now THIS is pathological. The kids don't need his version of a "saved economy." What those kids need is their grandparents.
Texas Lt. Gov Dan Patrick has said on Fox New that "lots of" grandparents would be willing to die in order in to save the economy for their grandchildren axios.com/coronavirus-texas-…

Texas needs a higher level of politician too! Maybe you could show them how?
Replying to @marwilliamson
Yes. I'm a Texas grandmother. Patrick can take a flying leap.

They won’t have to worry about seeing their grandparents if they die from starvation because they have no way to support themselves with no jobs. Both have to happen

@gop @dnc And...Trump's "return to work" basic error in logic: To be recovered, a worker FIRST MUST TEST POSITIVE, go into quarantine, & then be confirmed to have recovered. The US ISN'T TESTING ENOUGH WORKERS to see if they've recovered, or just haven't yet been exposed.

I'm fairly certain that at some point in the primary you said something about poverty killing. 30% unemployment probably qualifies as mass poverty.

B4 leaving, Obama quietly approved gradual funding to upgrade our nuclear Doomsday capability (a trillion dollars). The Fed's tapping out Trillions on its 'money computer' to cushion banking. We can't give every American family 3k to buy 'em a less-panicky, say, 4-6 weeks? Now?

I would burn this country to the ground to protect my grandparents.
THIS ISNT JUST ABOUT GRANDPARENTS! #COVIDー19 IS KILLING MORE THAN GRANDPARENTS, AND IF THE HOSPITAL CAPACITY COLLAPSES, ALL SORTS OF PEOPLE WILL DIE! STOP MAKING THIS A DUMB DANGEROUS FALSE CHOICE.

Again. What grandparents said that? Some kids live with and depend on their grandparents for survival. Oh, I forgot. They are not in a pay bracket that would concern this man.
