It's Time to Let America Work Again
Andrew F. Puzder
As we begin the process of reopening our economy, it is critical that we get back to work. The economic shutdown was intended to slow the spread of a lethal virus, not to permanently sacrifice our freedoms—and certainly not to expand government power and "fundamentally transform" America.
