I’ve acknowledged the human cost very many times Reine, if you’ve read other posts.

The problem is, there are plenty of times where people or governments have had to make decisions that were the right decisions, regardless of the cost to some people.

I understand your concern about this, I’d be worried as hell too. That doesn’t effect the fact that things need to change.

I don’t disagree that things have to change, and alternatives must be sought.

I do disagree vehemently that the proper way to do it is to throw tens of thousands of people out of work before the research has provided us with an alternative.

I understand the President has some very difficult decisions to make, and I don’t envy him.

But the moratorium as called by the President was NOT recommended by his panel of experts and in fact, they specifically said it would NOT be the best way to go about this.

If he isn’t going to follow the advice of these panels of experts he puts together, then why is he bothering to put ‘em together? Just make whatever pronouncement he wants.
