Hot spots wear cloth masks whenever theyre out in public. But even that recommendation came immediately with an admonition from dr. Deborah berx. One, masks are not a substitution and, number two, still not enough people are practicing social distancing. As a result, she says, were not succeeding and we are not bending the curve. Part of the problem may be the refusal of the president to establish national standards. Even dr. Fauci said, i dont understand why theyre not doing that. At least ten state still have no statewide stay at home orders in place. All of those have republican governors and, as we saw with florida, the president is loathe to tell a gop governor what to do. Where they are stay at home orders, some governments and local leaders are cracking down. Couple instances here, in maryland, violators can be imprisoned for up to a year and fined 500. In newark, new jersey, they issued hundreds of summons and in Georgia State parole officers are prepared to deal with people wh
We cant keep our country closed down for years, and we have to do something. And hopefully that wont be the case, john, but it very well could be the case. We cant have our whole country out. Cant do it. The country wont take it. It wont stand it. Its not sustainable. Now there is Science Behind waiting longer to reopen in many places. The president pushing obviously thor way. As we have seen more states reopen, we can actually assess in realtime, and it is a grim process, believe me, but we can assess what this does when you reopen in different places. We are seeing spikes in different parts of the country. This chart is courtesy of the New York Times. You see new york on the left, the epicenter of the breakout in a state that has been under these stayathome orders. The case number, though, is coming down, even in that hard hit area on the left that is the slope you see. Now look to the right. Thats the rest of the nation, which is confronting a growing surge. You can see the curve of
Country. Department of labors tracking entrepreneurs. As the president was implementing his spending agenda, that agenda that took us from record high deficits of the bush administration, to record deficits three times higher in the Obama Administration. The number of new establishments, entrepreneurial activity, for the yearending march 2010 march, 2010, was lower than any other year since the series began. Since they began keeping record, mr. Speaker. In 2010 under this administrations stimulus policies, entrepreneurial activity was at the lowest level in america since we began keeping records. I dont mean at the lowest level of people succeeding. I mean the lowest level of people trying. The lowest level of people trying, mr. Speaker. What does it mean about us . What does it mean about our future when we have beaten the enthusiasm to try out of our people . Frightened it out of our people. Mr. Speaker, thats not just a department of labor report. We talk a lot about that. What is i
Its based on something referred to as a fixed Market Basket, sort of like look at all the stuff people are buying at a point in time and how much to those prices go up. Would avoid two things you bought come you bought equal amounts, one of than doubled in price and the other one stayed the same, if one doubled and the other state the same, you would say, you at 50 increase in prices. So thats kind of what the fixed Market Basket approach would say. It tells you much the prices go up on the stuff that you have bought and that youve considered buying. Nothing is added in the cpi by the way for new things that come on the market. Some of us are old enough to remember vcrs coming around. Everyone here probably remembers when dvd players came around. Lots of other things like that. When they come into the cpi, they dont boost the level of cpi. Its just a rate of change and the prices of things that are already out there.
