RUSH LIMBAUGH: The problem with the decisions...to keep schools closed to in-person instruction this fall...is that the people responsible for making the final call are typically the least affected by their choices.

We can't sit here and let a bunch of people who will never be negatively impacted by this tell the rest of us what to do, the Rush Limbaugh Show host said. With all due respect, the medical community, people, the doctors, [Dr. Anthony] Fauci and [Dr. Deborah] Birx, they may be brilliant at what they do, but they should not be the people telling us whether schools will open or not. It's not their level or area of expertise.

He's right. If you don't have skin in the game you shouldn't be making decisions for those who do.

UPDATE: The answer is subsidiarity, but our governing elites cannot stand the thought of losing control. Remember, it's all about control.
