How about a SECOND TASK FORCE? Economic-Meadows Mnuchin Kudlow

I looked to see if this had been posted.

Hope they give a cool name like Space Force.


Trump preparing to unveil second coronavirus task force, officials say

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-preparing-to-unveil-second-coronavirus-task-force-officials-say/ar-BB12lZW2

President Trump is preparing to announce as soon as this week a second, smaller coronavirus task force aimed specifically at combating the economic ramifications of the virus and focused on reopening the nation’s economy, according to four people familiar with the plans.

The task force will be made up of a mix of private-sector and top administration officials, including chief of staff Mark Meadows — whose first official day on the job was last week — Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and national economic adviser Larry Kudlow, a senior administration official said.

Meadows is likely to lead the task force, though no official decision has been made, two senior administration officials said.

The White House declined to comment.

The second task force adds yet another layer to an already unwieldy bureaucratic coronavirus response process within the White House; after becoming involved in the effort last month, Jared Kushner — Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser — has also formed his own working group, which some dismissively refer to as a shadow task force.

We need a panel of citizens comprised of the best in their fields to gather, buy air time, and keep us informed.
It is time for the citizens to take back control of the information that is so desperately needed at this time.
I hope someone like Bill Gates or other would realize how important this could be to our future.

according to a tweet from a Reuters reporter.




Text for the twitter-deprived:

Art Laffer is being floated as head of a new task force to "reopen" the US economy. He spoke to @annsaphir about what he'd do:

In other words, a task force to get the stock market propped back up for the election in November.
