No. Acknowledging that government involves difficult choices between competing issues of critical importance is not the same as professing expertise in making those choices. And I think its a more honest position than making virtue-signalling comments like 'whatever it takes.'
I don't know where the line should be drawn and I'm thankful I don't have to make that call. But I acknowledge that somebody has to.
