ORLANDO—South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) told the audience at an annual conservative conference on Feb. 27 that lockdowns and other restrictions imposed by state and local governments were to blame for the economic crash in 2020, not the pandemic which they were intended to snuff out.
Noem has become the target of establishment media and Democrat politicians for her approach to the pandemic. South Dakota was the only state which never ordered any businesses or churches to close, never imposed a lockdown or a mask mandate, and refrained from classifying businesses into essential and non-essential categories.
“COVID didn’t crush the economy. Government crushed the economy,” Noem said, prompting applause from the crowd at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
“Just as quickly, government turned around and held itself out as the savior, and frankly the Treasury Department can’t print money fast to keep up with Congress’s wishes. But not everyone has followed this path,” she continued.
Noem is among a few governors, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.), who have bucked the national and global trend of imposing strict lockdowns on the populace in an attempt to limit the spread of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as COVID-19. The lockdowns resulted in an economic disaster, paring back the gains made during the Trump administration.
There is no historical precedent or controlled trials to support the argument for lockdowns and arguments over their efficacy have largely been split along political lines. Former President Donald Trump repeatedly accused Democrat governors and mayors of using the lockdowns to snuff out the economic boom set in motion by his low-tax, deregulation agenda.
Noem said that Anthony Fauci, one of the lead members of Trump’s White House Coronavirus Task Force, told her that South Dakota’s hospitals would be treating 10,000 patients at the worst point of the pandemic. She said the number was actually 600 patients at the worst point.
“I don’t know if you agree with me, but Dr. Fauci is wrong a lot,” Noem said, drawing raucous cheers from the crowd.
“Even in a pandemic, public health policy needs to take into account people’s economic and social well-being,” she added. “People need to keep a roof over their heads, they need to feed their families, and they need their dignity.”
“In my administration, we resisted the call for virus control at the expense of everything else. We looked at the science, the data, and the facts, and then we took a balanced approach.”
Noem said that as a result, South Dakota now has the lowest unemployment rate in the nation and that the state’s economy is booming.
Despite sidestepping lockdowns, South Dakota had fewer COVID-19 cases per million people over the past 30 days than some of the biggest lockdown states, including California, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.Follow Ivan on Twitter: @ivanpentchoukov

Comment: Governor Newsom Has Collapsed CA’s Economy
Los Angeles Looks Worse Than a Third World Country
YouTube commentator Jeremiah Babe recently went to Los Angeles and shot video of what was happening on the streets. He posted several videos including one from Skid Row and some of the surrounding areas.
The Skid Row video in particular is worth watching. The place literally looks worse than a third world country something of which Babe accurately notes.

Interestingly enough, the Marxist lunatic governor of California Gavin Newsom was touring the area at the same time Babe was there shooting video. Newsom was with an enormous security detail. They even had cops dressed up as homeless people. Considering that Newsom is one of the people responsible for this mess his presence was ironic to say the least.
He also shot video from the more wealthy areas of Los Angeles and there are similar types of things happening even in those places. There are boarded up buildings, closed businesses and “for lease” signs up everywhere.

These are scenes that you are not seeing on the nightly Jewish media broadcasts. This is real news and real reporting of what’s actually going on in the streets of America.
What this footage shows is that the American economy has already collapsed. People just haven’t come to grips that they we are in the middle of it. The crazy thing is that it is absolutely going to get worse. Just make sure you are prepared because this is going to be the worst economic collapse in world history.
