Well, we'll all have 20/20 hindsight by then. But I think the probability is very high we will all look back at the economic wreckage and we'll understand that it was not worth it. I would go even further. I think what we just did was shred the Constitution and everything we value in this country, all in the blink of an eye, and that damage will never be undone. We have lost something permanently, and this is our independence and the contract with our government that they work for us, not us for them. I would never have allowed this country to be told by its government to incarcerate us and shut the economy down. That should never have been the answer. No government can guarantee us a risk free life. To hope that they can is a silly pipe dream and a liberal fantasy. It's a world that does not exist.
