'Are you terrified that unelected public health bureaucrats won’t be able to control every facet of your life the next time an illness makes the rounds? You should be, according to the Washington Post,' ZacharyFaria writes.
WALENSKY TELLS CONGRESS CDC MASKING GUIDANCE FOR SCHOOLS ISN'T GOING AWAY
Health writers at the Washington Post on Wednesday bemoaned that “lawsuits and legislation have stripped public health officials of their powers in three years,” a move that would “hobble” future pandemic responses. In some states, health officials “won’t be able to shutter businesses or schools, even if they become epicenters of outbreaks.” They won’t be “empowered to force” people into quarantine.
In case you need more context for the Washington Post’s doomsaying, the outlet is not just concerned about a hypothetical future pandemic. According to the outlet, the world is “staggering” into a “fourth year of COVID.” Ah, yes, according to the Washington Post, the pandemic is still an emergency, even though nearly everyone in America ditched the masks and returned to normal life two years ago when the first vaccines became available.
The public health bureaucracy should have never had “fangs” to begin with. More politicians should have questioned their judgment sooner. Allowing bureaucrats to run wild during the pandemic was the biggest mistake most states made. School closures set children back permanently with no health benefit. Businesses closed their doors forever with no health benefit. The backlash is a much needed corrective.
The Washington Post, despite its self-righteous “Democracy Dies in Darkness” motto, is horrified at the thought of democracy deciding how government operates. Normal people should be relieved and pandemic authoritarianism should never be allowed to return.

Republican Votes Helped Washington Pile Up DebtWASHINGTON — President Joe Biden will submit his latest budget request to Congress on Thursday, offering what his administration says will be $2 trillion in plans to reduce deficits and future growth of the national debt. Republicans, who are demanding deep spending cuts in exchange for raising the nation’s borrowing cap, will almost certainly greet that proposal with a familiar refrain: Biden and his party are to blame for ballooning the debt. But an analysis of House and Senate voting records,
