Victor Davis Hanson: 'Blue state' governors' lockdowns put America in 'untenable situation'
2020-05-10
[Fox] Historian and Hoover Institution senior fellow Victor Davis Hanson told "The Story" Friday that Democratic governors of states like New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Illinois are creating an "untenable situation" by being slow to lift lockdowns instituted to counter coronavirus.

"We don’t think more people will die because of the lockdown versus exposure to the virus," Hanson said, mimicking the thought process of some Democratic governors, "We have to be absolutely certain that nobody gets the virus and dies."

As a result, he said, residents of those states are prevented from paying into the system with tax money, which is needed to fund entitlement programs.

#4  @ #2 You know g.d. well that's what they'll do. Zero/empty-set fiscal discipline.

#3  Virginia's 'leadership' isn't any bargain either, although most people are increasingly ignoring the edicts of Lord Ralph.

#2  And it seems to me the blue states would just take any bailout money and extend their lockdown, not pay anything off or fix their pension fund shenanigans.

#1  Red states ought to cancel taxes to blue state visitors. That ought to hurry things up.
