What disturbs me about the CDC refusal to even consider a travel ban is the reasoning given. The CDC is basically saying, “People have a right to enter the country — even if they’re a physical threat to others.” The principle implied here is obvious: We must sacrifice our well-being — even our lives — for the sake of the well-being of people in less developed countries, particularly. This basically means that we cannot count on the federal government to protect us when it really matters. Sure, we can count on the federal government to be our nursemaids, our retirement pension holders, our babysitters, our corporate subsidy and farm subsidy distributors, our mortgage brokers, our free cell phone providers and our food stamp suppliers. There’s virtually no limit to what the federal government will do for us; all it requires is another increase in the infinite debt ceiling “limit.” But when it comes time to protect us from real and actual threats — well, not so fast.
