We can't trust this administration.

An Associated Press story about Trump’s threat to withhold school funds begins with these two paragraphs:
“Determined to reopen America’s schools despite coronavirus worries, President Donald Trump threatened Wednesday to hold back federal money if school districts don’t bring their students back in the fall. He complained that his own public health officials’ safety guidelines are impractical and too expensive.
Shortly afterward, Vice President Mike Pence announced that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention would be issuing new guidance next week “that will give all new tools to our schools.” The recommendations will keep students safe, he said, but “the president said today we just don’t want the guidance to be too tough.”
Focusing attention on the second paragraph, Pence is telling us that the president has told the CDC what the rules need to be and the CDC – apparently having lost its integrity along with whatever balls it had – is going along with it. In other words, the guidelines will be dictated by someone with no expertise and very little intelligence.
