“Our capital stock hasn’t been destroyed, our human capital stock is ready to get back to work,” Kevin Hassett said
about increasing funding for food stamps and said he hadn’t raised the topic with Trump, saying, “I have not discussed with the president.”“There’s already a lot of money for state and local governments… I think that a lot of the requests for state and local bailouts that you’re seeing out there up on the Hill are, like, radically, radically more money than the expected shortfall for the year… And the requests are kind of absurd,” Hassert said.
A thoughtful and commonsense debate can be had about whether or not the funding requests from states are “absurd.” But calling human beings “stock” — especially as essential workers are putting their lives and bodies on the line right now — is undeniably absurd and heartless.
