It’d be nice if there some acknowledgement that gun violence has drastically increased in major cities with the anti-police agitation of the last year
“To all the transgender Americans watching at home – especially the young people who are so brave – I want you to know that your president has your back,” Biden says.
Biden makes an interesting deviation from the prepared text, which stated, And we won’t ignore what our own intelligence agencies have determined – the most lethal terrorist threat to the homeland today is from white supremacist terrorism.”
Instead, Biden said, “white supremacy is terrorism.”
President Biden declares, “the IRS will crack down on millionaires and billionaires who cheat on their taxes.”
Hey, that reminds me – how is that FBI and IRS investigation of Hunter Biden going?
Biden's pitch to rejoin the Paris Accord is at odds with his promise to win the 21st century against China, given that the deal is a gift to Xi.
Biden hits Republicans for their tax breaks passed under the Trump administration: “Look at the big tax cut in 2017. It was supposed to pay for itself and generate vast economic growth. Instead it added $2 trillion to the deficit. It was a huge windfall for corporate America and those at the very top.”
“Trickle-down economics has never worked,” he claims.
Also, a reminder that Obama could have pushed for negotiation of drug prices in Obamacare (along with drug reimportation), but dropped the idea to win over the lobbying support of PhRMA.
Biden pivots to explaining how he will fund his surge in spending.
“I will not impose any tax increase on anyone making less than $400k, but it's time for corporate America and the wealthiest one percent to begin to pay their fair share,” he says. “I think you should be able to become a billionaire or millionaire. But pay your fair share.”
The $400k line is misleading, because it refers to families, not individuals. See more here.
Cant’t help thinking a couple of times a day that all Republicans had to do was win one of those Georgia senate races—one! And must of this would have been avoided.
Biden declares with relative passion, “We all know how outrageously expensive the prescription drugs are. In fact, we pay the highest prescription drug prices in the world right here in America – nearly three times as much as other countries.” I thought we passed a sweeping “big blanking deal” back in 2009 to fix the health care system.
