By Rahm Emanuel March 26, 2020 3:05 pm ET Warren Buffett once noted that “only when the tide goes out do you discover who’s been swimming naked.” When it comes to emergency management and public health, the tide is out, and the federal government has been caught with its pants down. For decades, we’ve failed to invest sufficiently in the nation’s public health system, but the crisis we face today will not be one-of-a-kind.
AFTER THE PANDEMIC Leading figures from a range of fields look ahead to the lasting impact of today’s crisis Though mayors and governors can do a lot, national crises and challenges ultimately need national solutions. States shouldn’t be bidding against one another for masks and ventilators as they are today—the federal government should be the clearing house. State bureaucracies should not be forced to keep an eye on diseases spreading from China or other parts of the world—that should be up to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Security Council.
In Chicago, we made community college free without any help from Washington, but that wasn’t because we didn’t want to work with the federal Department of Education. They just had nothing to offer. We would have gladly accepted the federal Department of Transportation’s help in expanding O’Hare, our largest airport, but we couldn’t wait for the federal bureaucracy to get its act together.
Rham is what is wrong with our political system.
You did such a great job in Chicago so I would refrain from giving any advice now
We have a nut in that position
Rahm wished u ran 4 Prez this cycle!
When a failed businessman, a failed human being and a low I.Q. narcissistic sociopath is placed in the White House with the help of a hostile power, one can only expect that failure would be his only option. Trump doesn't have the intellect to know better nor the ability to care.
Democrat definition: Strong leadership = Big government.
Are we supposed to have federal leadership? Interesting
Rahm Emanuel, he was mayor of murder capital USA.
Too bad we don’t have it.
“Let no crisis go to waste.” RE
This is rich coming from a guy who can't run the city of Chicago worth a damn.
Didn’t this guy say don’t let a crisis go to waste? Time to “step up” or grab power?
The media is ignoring the fact that the Obama administration depleted the federal stockpile of N95 masks and never restocked them.
Lol that's never coming, it's literally almost April & Hospitals are overwhelmed & realDonaldTrump & the WhiteHouse were briefed in late January. Trump & FoxNews are already trying to blame Cuomo & De Blasio. Even though Trump only took this seriously MARCH 12TH. QuidProQuo
Strong Federal Leadership = TRUMP
Rahm Emanuel. 😂😂😂
Till we have strong federal leadership, it’s good to know we have leaders like Governor Cuomo!
We appear to be living with a substitute for strong federal leadership.
That's exactly what we're getting now. Remember Obama let a thousand people die before he did anything with his epidemic
Agree w Rahm. That's why Cuomo should be drafted to run as the 2020 Dem candidate for POTUS.
