The poll, conducted March 27-30 on behalf of Public Agenda and USA TODAY, surveyed U.S. adults as a part of the Hidden Common Ground initiative, which aims to examine issues that divide America along with potential solutions. The online poll has a credibility interval, akin to a margin of error, of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
Americans choose saving lives over the health of the US economy
Clinton is among the majority (72%)of respondents who believe the government's priority should be saving lives by stopping the spread of the virus, as opposed to sparing the economy.

Only about 1 in 5 said the government's main priority should be saving the economy.

Most Americans believe stopping the virus should be the U.S. government's top priority, even as social distancing measures ravage the economy.

First of all it's an online poll and not credible. Second of all they have refused to publish all of the information in the survey and it's still not credible.

This is why polls cannot be trusted.

Do these people think letting the economy crash will have no negative impact or cost lives just curious if they consider that. It's rather sad that we have become such an either or society and that we now believe we can't try and accomplish both keeping people safe and saving the economy.

Yes, no focus on slowing the curve. Because as we've been advised by an Orange Turd, MILLIONS would be committing suicide!

So why hasn’t the curve been flattened in NY, where #PresidentCuomo is in charge?

Doesn't have a damn thing to do with politics. It has to do with incompetency at the top.

Yeah, the Democratic leadership are complete MORONS.

Sorry - Governors are not at the top of the food chain Goober. The buck stops with fuckstain. HE is the one who labeled it a national emergency and yet continues to give the problem lip service at best. He's repeating GWB's mistake from Katrina. Blaming Governors and Mayors for his own ineptitude.

No one belives this. Every one knows the economy is important. Having healthy people to work it is also important. Here we are dealing with a crisis the magnitude of which only happens every hundred years or so. Imagine you are the one dealing with it. We all know there are tipping point to whixh we can no longer come back from. We could lose enough lives that it could kill an economy for generations. On the other hand we could hurt the economy bad enough through our solutions of keeping every one alive bad enough to hurt the economy for generations. Pretty bad choices on both sides the fence. No one alive today has dealt with some thing of this magnitude. All we have to draw upon is the 1918 pandemic and how much of that info is even still available. I agree we need to do both try and save people and the economy. The question is how. Aside from a vaccine we only have two ways to go. Put most people back to work and risk the possibilty of every one on the planet contracting it., or try and quarintine until we have better medicine to deal with it. Either is a big risk. What is happening is worst case scenario. We are doing half measures which means we will likely do both destroy the economy and kill a large portion of the population. Beliving our scientists can combat this thing with a vaccine in the near future seems to be the best bet so drastic quarintine would be required. We know that in the past quarintine was a big part of how past generations dealt with it. So more good evidence on that side of the argument. That all being said we may never come up with a vaccine. Big risk all the way around but some one has to pull the trigger and make it one way or the other and hope for the best.

It's not going to crash. The next two stimulus packages will be half a trillion in direct payments to people, and universal health care.

And not one dime for corporations or tax cuts of any kind.

I just hope Trumkinland will be able to cope with the fact non whites will be getting money from the government.

Of course my challenge to all of them about becoming Maga Martyrs, and sacrificing themselves for the cause is still open.

So you think that the average person should get a few bucks, and universal health care (which will have to be paid for from this point on)...

But the corporations and business owners that actually hire people should just be left to absorb the losses or go under???

The 16th Amendment: Establishing Federal Income Tax

The 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution gave Congress the power to collect a federal income tax. Learn more about the amendment and its history.

www.thoughtco.com

According to the IRS’ most recent analysis of the distribution of the income tax burden, the top one percent of income earners paid 37 percent of all income taxes in Tax Year 2016. This was nearly twice as much as their 19.7 percent share of income. Breaking this down, the top 25 percent of earners paid nearly 86 percent of all income tax.


Gee, what happens when the "free money" runs out because almost nobody is PAYING IN???

I wonder how much tax government will collect when there is no economic activity to tax?

The shelter-in-place-for-eternity crowd has no idea what they are talking about

Shelter in place is the perfect world for Millennial democrats who have lived in their mom's basements for their entire lives.

They have very high opinions of themselves and have to blame others for their failure in life

You seek a Stalinist, Marxist dictatorship. BUT that isn't what America is. We are a federal system, 50 independent states with governors and legislatures who subscribe to federal services such as courts and national defense, The Governor of any given state is the chief executive of that state and the authority of it.

You're not dumb because you're a communist, you're a communist because you're dumb.

Trying to educate lefties is like trying to teach 4th graders Calculus...there are far too many gaps in their knowledge that must be filled to even get to the real problem. It is exhausting. Your knowledge of the Katrina disaster is obviously limited to what you have been told by CNN, MSNBC, etc al.

We have to accept the fact that democrats are engaged in treason. They are leveraging this event to weaken America and allow a foreign power, China, to gain supremacy over America. Every day America is idled will take a month for recovery.

Let me ask you, are the police immune from Wuhan virus? What about fire fighters? If not, shouldn't they shelter in place? Or are you saying they are expendable and their safety doesn't matter? What about truck drivers, shouldn't they shelter in place? Grocery store clerks? Shut down all stores for 6 months. And utility workers, let's shut off the lights and your XBox. No need for running water, we must shelter in place. Are you placing your want to flush toilets above the lives of utility workers?

What a lot of people may not realize is that it isn't an "either-or" proposition. A collapsed economy and the poverty that ensues will create huge numbers of deaths. And further, a ruined economy will make it near impossible to get a cure for coronavirus or other future pestilences, as the people will be living at a subsistence level.

Based on what evidence?

What a lot of people may not realize is that it isn't an "either-or" proposition. A collapsed economy and the poverty that ensues will create huge numbers of deaths. And further, a ruined economy will make it near impossible to get a cure for coronavirus or other future pestilences, as the people will be living at a subsistence level.

Defeating the Pathogen as quickly as possible will actually help the economy more than hurt it. We don't want to repeat all the mistakes of the Spanish Flu in 1918. Back in 1918, San Francisco shut down and saved lives and the benefits were huge. The Flu was unable to really spread in San Francisco. By contrast Philadelphia held parades and did nothing and suffered tens of thousands of deaths. Bodies lying in the street and in homes. Children starving to death because their parents were dead and no one would come near them. Its sad were in the shape were in now given that the world has had 102 years to prepare for the next major pandemic. 102 years later and were back to dead bodies stacking up outside hospitals and people wearing masks. So little progress after so much time. We think were an advanced society, but in many ways were still stuck in the middle ages.

They shutdown the city for less than a month:

San Francisco, California and the 1918-1919 Influenza Epidemic | The American Influenza Epidemic of 1918: A Digital Encyclopedia​

​

After some discussion, the Board of Health voted to close all places of public amusement, ban all lodge meetings, close all public and private schools, and to prohibit all dances and other social gatherings effective at 1:00 am on Friday, October 18. ​

​

Meanwhile, the epidemic continued to grind on, although the number of new reported cases had begun to decline. By the end of October, San Francisco had experienced a total of nearly 20,000 cases of influenza and over 1,000 deaths. Still, the situation had improved enough for Hassler to recommend re-opening the city. On November 13 the Board of Health voted to lift the various bans starting on Saturday, November 16.​

Interesting. So they didn't shut down the city for 18 months like Dr. Fauci would like to do with the country?

I agree that a short term lockdown period can have some benefit. But I don't think they had year long shutdowns even during the pandemic of 1349, which had a very healthy death rate..

Yes, no focus on slowing the curve. Because as we've been advised by an Orange Turd, MILLIONS would be committing suicide!

So why hasn’t the curve been flattened in NY, where #PresidentCuomo is in charge?

Doesn't have a damn thing to do with politics. It has to do with incompetency at the top.

Yeah, the Democratic leadership are complete MORONS.

Sorry - Governors are not at the top of the food chain Goober. The buck stops with fuckstain. HE is the one who labeled it a national emergency and yet continues to give the problem lip service at best. He's repeating GWB's mistake from Katrina. Blaming Governors and Mayors for his own ineptitude.

Trying to educate lefties is like trying to teach 4th graders Calculus...there are far too many gaps in their knowledge that must be filled to even get to the real problem. It is exhausting. Your knowledge of the Katrina disaster is obviously limited to what you have been told by CNN, MSNBC, etc al.

Oh really? So test me ... Brownie

Stupid shit, does your dentist come and brush your teeth for you 3 times a day? He is to blame if you get a cavity, right?

Also, didn't democrat hero Ray Nagin actually flee the city leaving people to fend for themselves? Oh and democrat Kathleen Blanco, what a treat....



You really are dumb as a fucking post.
