Rep Crenshaw: It's Not a Choice Between Saving Lives OR Saving the Economy
2020-04-12
[Red State] - Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) joined Fox News’ Judge Jeanine on Saturday night to discuss opening up the economy.

    We’ve got to balance fighting the pandemic alongside of fighting our economic downturn and it’s going to be hard, We’ve got to balance fighting the pandemic alongside of fighting our economic downturn and it’s going to be hard, but I’ll tell you what. Houston has been through very hard times. Let’s not forget Hurricane Harvey with our entire city flooded and you know our hospitals are uniquely suited to disasters. Our hospitals are doing well. They’re not even close to being overwhelmed at all.

    Our case rates are not growing exponentially. They are growing, of course, but we aren’t like New York...

    And then we’ve got to be looking ahead...at how we open up the economy and take a more targeted approach to fighting the pandemic. I think too many people talk about a binary choice between letting the disease run free and closing down society for — for indefinitely. But it’s not a binary choice. We can do both and we have to think very carefully about how to do that.

..."Those decisions have to be localized and decided at each state. You know we can problem-solve. Disaster preparedness is managed by states and localities. It’s always been like that and we have to remember how our system works and how federalism works.

...Crenshaw emphasizes this is not an all or nothing choice. Nor is President Trump necessarily in charge of making one blanket decision for America.
