Time To End The Shutdown?

A rise in tax collections is to be expected every year, barring a recession.

I agree but remember all we heard was we couldn’t afford trumps tax cuts. Lol

The tax cuts that would pay for themselves and add nothing to the deficit?

Could anyone have foreseen this crisis?

Could anyone have foreseen this crisis?

The administration was briefed on the possibility and even went through a mock up of how to respond.
The intelligence community's 2019 Worldwide Threat Assessment, delivered last January, said the following in bold type: "We assess that the United States and the world will remain vulnerable to the next flu pandemic or large-scale outbreak of a contagious disease that could lead to massive rates of death and disability, severely affect the world economy, strain international resources, and increase calls on the United States for support."

If an asteroid hit New York City tomorrow the liberals would be blaming Trump and pointing out scientists who warned us of the possibility.

If an asteroid hit New York City tomorrow the liberals would be blaming Trump and pointing out scientists who warned us of the possibility.

A pandemic warning came in 2018 -- from the now-defunct White House National Security Council team then responsible for pandemics.
According to the Washington Post, Dr. Luciana Borio, then the council's director of medical and biodefense preparedness, said in 2018: "The threat of pandemic flu is the number one health security concern. Are we ready to respond? I fear the answer is no."
John Bolton, then Trump's national security adviser, disbanded the team during a reorganization of the NSC implemented shortly after Borio's comments.

So Mayor DeBlasio should factor a possible asteroid strike in to his budget?

The TCJA was enacted in 2017. This crisis began in 2019. TTKU.

Are you willing to pay more taxes in order to prepare for the minute possibility of a global health threat? Keep in mind that hindsight is 20/20.

No, the White House didn’t ‘dissolve’ its pandemic response office. I was there.

The liberals pointing out a report from years ago are simply using people's deaths to score political points.

There are probably hundreds of threat assessment reports for a whole slew of factors.

Rear Adm. Timothy Ziemer abruptly departed from his post leading the global health security team on the National Security Council in May 2018 amid a reorganization of the council by then-National Security Advisor John Bolton, and Ziemer’s team was disbanded. Tom Bossert, whom the Washington Post reported “had called for a comprehensive biodefense strategy against pandemics and biological attacks,” had been fired one month prior.

I'm surprised that the Democrats didn't come down harshly on Trump for doing that. Could it be that everyone was occupied with trying to impeach Trump over bogus accusations?
