We began by Olivia discussing government restrictions on movement and businesses during the current Coronavirus epidemic. Olivia mentioned a number of the shelter at home restrictions in place throughout the county ,and we then focused on how those restrictions are imposed by local governments or the state. We reviewed the concept of federalism, i.e. dual but shared sources of federal power, and I outlined the major provisions of the federal government's recently enacted CARE legislation that provides for the payment of money to individuals ,loans to small business, and grants to airlines. We then examined the specific provisions of the Art I of the Constitution and Olivia located the constitutional authority for the federal statute both in the interstate commerce clause and in the general welfare clause. We discussed concurrent powers of the state to address some of the same issues and why federal government action was required.Last, we analyzed what types of public health options state and local governments can exercise to contain the spread of the virus and the cost of the federal statute to government and ultimately the taxpayers. For homework, I assigned reading about taxes, revenues, the national debt and the commerce clause as well as study guide questions on the reading.
