Cruz Sounds Alarm: We Must Get Americans ‘Back To Work’

In an interview Tuesday, Republican Sen. Ted Cruz declared that “it is time for Texans to get back to work” and warned that if we let the widespread shutdowns drag on, we will see not only more “economic devastation” but major public health consequences.

Speaking with Lubbock’s KCBD NewsChannel 11 on Tuesday, Cruz said that while we need to continue to protect those who are “very vulnerable, like the elderly and those with serious underlying conditions, we must urgently address the “economic devastation” caused by the mass shutdowns, and the only way to truly do so is to get people back to work.

A shutdown and a “quick reopen” is for suckers..

The trouble is, a lot of elderly and people with underlying conditions are still working. They can't afford to retire or don't want to. I can't believe the number of people over 70 who tell me they are still working. So all those people will be out in the public susceptible to catching the virus from everyone who's been cooped up and now will flock out to open businesses.
