Has President Biden

[Neil]

The CDC has no local authority and is an investigating arm not a regulatory agency such as FDA.

We open the schools when public health officials/CDC/NIH experts say it's time. Until then, the kids will be all right. Not perfect, but better than spreading the virus to their families and neighbors.

The CDC has no local authority and is a investigating arm not a regulatory agency such as FDA.

Well apparently they do have authority since the CDC said they can do it. You can always tell who doesn’t have kids in schools by their moronic replies. They’re the same ones retired at home collecting a check while those of us still working are trying to navigate through this thing to make a living.

California governor is getting recalled because in good part because he denies school to kids.

Yes, parents need babysitters.

Regarding the new 1.9 trillion spending act, my Republican legislator states the money for the new program will come from severe cuts in Medicare and Social Security. Is that correct?

Your Republican legislator is wildly misinformed. Could pay for the entire thing by rescinding the tax cuts to the rich and corporations passed a few years back. There will be absolutely no Medicare and/or Social Security cuts under this particular government. In addition to penalizing the poorest Americans, it would be political suicide. Politicians of both parties are known to bend the truth for their own benefit, but some Republicans have taken this and refined it to a fine art .

The CDC's opinions are advisory, not binding as they have no legal authority. I have no kids in school, but I would bet I'm working more hours than your sorry, half-educated self. And doing more good for other people in the last month than you've done in your lifetime . Too bad you have such strong opinions and such a weak understanding of reality.

The usual "big lie" scare tactic.

[robert.]

I'm sure there was a lot of BS they could cut from that relief bill.

That's probably true for every bill to come out of Congress; last year's relief bill had $30+ million for Ted Cruz's good buddy oil company in it.

Thank you to all!

That’s just because he’s a Republican. If it were a Democrat Neil would be shaving his tongue so he could give him a tongue bath.

I get more done in a day by accident than you do on purpose. The better part of you ran down your mothers leg, but I’m glad you feel useful Dr Neil, because everyone wants to feel important in life.

"That’s just because he’s a Republican"

All politicians stretch the truth occasionally, but many Republicans have become professional, criminal liars, like their leader, that sad sack of dishonesty and corruption who now lives in Florida. The ex-Liar in Chief.

No, it's not because he's Republican, it's because like many Republicans he's a dishonest, lying sheit.

Like many Republicans he lies about the election results.

Like many Republicans he lies about whether Democrats are socialists.

Like many Republicans he lies about the fact that Medicare and Social Security trust funds cannot be spent on other needs.

Like many Republicans he lies about the true nature of the assault of the Capitol and the threat of right wing terrorists.

Other than that, it's not about his being a Republican.

[rogruth]

Each side believes what they want and neither can convince the other they are right. Or wrong.
Not much point in continuing discussions of this type.

The last time I witnessed such a comment, I was in grade-school. Is that where we are , here?

Greg, that comment was unworthy of you and of this forum. Disappointing.

[E7]

Sometimes it's useful to remember that half the population is below average in intelligence. We don't want these people making public health policy for the rest of us .

....and they just elected that bunch of socialist lunatic Dumbocrats you're so fond of you arrogant know it all toady.
