Watch for a shift in the narrative.

We all remember how Repubs were all about fending off a recession while Dubya was still prez. They helped pass TARP, which authorized $700B for the purchased of distressed assets to prop up the financial system. They also helped pass what was essentially phase 1 of the auto company bailout. Bush announces $17.4 billion auto bailout

Then came Obama's landslide election and suddenly Repubs became quite concerned about the size of the budget deficits. They would spend years sabotaging the recovery under the guise of that mantra.

With another Repub in the Oval Office at a time of great economic strain congressional Repubs have had no qualms with spending trillions of dollars to boost the economy in order to enhance Big Fat Don's chances of re-election. Budget deficits be damned.

However, they are beginning to understand the political cost of the nation's debt expanding so massively while a (R) is prez. After all, they have pretended for years to care about deficits and have duped their constituency in to believing they are fiscal conservatives (nothing could be further from the truth).

Enter one of the most conniving, deceitful politicians to ever disgrace the Senate chamber. Someone who sees the potential danger to the fortunes of Repubs over all the spending. What's a cretin to do?

Leave it to a piece of slime like McTreason to wordsmith the ubiquitous need on the part of all states who have seen their revenue base markedly decline by trying to define it as a "blue state" problem. Repubs and right wing media have already worked exhaustively to deflect blame away from Trump for his failed response to the virus.

Always remember the Democrat motto

E.P.A., Citing Coronavirus, Drastically Relaxes Rules for Polluters (Published 2020)

The agency said it would not penalize companies that violate rules on monitoring and reporting pollution discharges.

www.nytimes.com

WASHINGTON — The Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday announced a sweeping relaxation of environmental rules in response to the coronavirus pandemic, allowing power plants, factories and other facilities to determine for themselves if they are able to meet legal requirements on reporting air and water pollution.
The move comes amid an influx of requests from businesses for a relaxation of regulations as they face layoffs, personnel restrictions and other problems related to the coronavirus outbreak.
Issued by the E.P.A.’s top compliance official, Susan P. Bodine, the policy sets new guidelines for companies to monitor themselves for an undetermined period of time during the outbreak and says that the agency will not issue fines for violations of certain air, water and hazardous-waste-reporting requirements.

a shift in the narrative you say?

We must lock down TO FLATTEN THE CURVE YOU SAY?

Curve flattened.....

We must remain locked down to.......?

Quite literally the biggest narrative shift in a decade.

We flattened the curve.
We built up our medical facilities.
We built up medical supplies. So many so that we are now shipping them overseas and closing down temporary facilities.
WE ACHIEVED THE VERY GOALS THAT WERE SET

Now you cocksuckers want to extend the lock down EVERY TIME we reach the stated goals.

You LIARS claim to be for the poor but they are the very ones most affected by this bullshit.
