Tamny critiques the federal government&#39;s &quot;command economy&quot; response, specifically the trillions of dollars in stimulus and the Payroll Protection Program. He argues that consumption does not drive growth — investment does — and that by &quot;hoovering up&quot; capital from those most capable of investing and redistributing it to consumers, the government delayed natural economic recovery. The PPP propped...

Tamny explores the misplaced reliance on expert opinion, arguing that the crisis began when epidemiologists became the &quot;leaders of the economy.&quot; Comparing this to the 1980s AIDS scare, he notes that early expert predictions are often &quot;first drafts&quot; that can be incorrect. He contrasts 2020 with the 1968 &quot;Hong Kong Flu,&quot; which resulted in 100,000 Americandeaths — the equivalent of 250,000 today —...
