Shutdown: Wrong Move

I’m sure President Trump thought he was doing the right thing by closing down the entire economy of the United States, but it was actually the exact wrong thing to do, in his lack of experience running a country instead of just a corporation. What it did was completely destroy all the good things he had done for the economy in his first three years in office. And threatened to destroy the economy, period. With nobody working and producing needed goods, there would soon be no goods on the store shelves, and people would begin to starve. Add to that the complete lack of income, and people wouldn’t be able to afford to buy what little was on those shelves, and things would collapse. More important to the government, there would soon be no taxes paid because people weren’t making money. Today the government is sending people money, but soon there wouldn’t be any money to send, and no amount of printing it would do anything. The cure was worse than the disease, and people would begin to die. Some would just kill each other to get what was theirs, since that would be the only way to get it. Chaos would ensue. Those who wanted to take us over would do so in our weakened state, and soon we would be in a dictatorship. It will have been inevitable. Fortunately, realizing his mistake, he is trying to reverse it. Hopefully, not too late. (Just common sense)
