Today In Biden Land

[Spicoli]

Sounds odd but one of the more notable things about the Address to Congress last night that stood out...he didn't pause or applaud himself a single time . I do not miss elected officials extending the ring and stroking themselves continually. Seems that most of the criticism this AM was focused on the esthetics and how 'low key' underwhelming it was . We're so dumbed down to expect a spectator live reality show in our politics now. Just do your job and STFU. Goes for all of them. The proposed spending is an eye opener or should be regardless of where you stand. Then again the fact there is actual ground and want for debate on an actual issue is what we need. Basically you make over 400k annual prepare to be taxed as well as emphasis on Corporate taxes. The child tax credit is just wow. 3.6K per child under 6 now? Hey I don't hate the childrens but can a dude get a buck fifty for his cat if we're throwing around money like that . And not clear on this additional 4 yrs of education for all. Additional how? Paid for by..? 12 weeks paid medical leave. Not clear if for pregnancy or maybe I missed it?! Boring Government is good...Big Government is not good. Biden like Trump exaggerated to "new jobs" created but I think the reality is a good portion of those may be returning to job numbers. But it is going in the right direction and that's what matters. A couple of these plans need real unpacking but American jobs plan with focus on infrastructure, decrepit power grids and internet waste lands is long overdue. He actually took some shots at China linking solar, wind energy parts production with proposals and actions in Hong Kong etc. Needed much more focus on boarder build up for sure but I do think just a bit of that was overblown. He blew a mark to get ahead of it a bit and stare it in the eye. It'll all come out in the wash as will the truths. I don't see any OMG he had a gaff 30 second clips floating around and all in all he came off straight up.
