President Biden thread

Published

Wow.  No one has started such a thread yet?

After promising that most K-8 students would be in schools in the first 100 days,  apparently Joe is afraid to lead on this and has drastically scaled back that goal.

Instead, we're shooting for about half to go to school at least one day a week,  by the end of April.

Biden-Harris Administration Immediate Priorities

  • COVID-19
  • Climate
  • Racial Equity
  • Economy 
  • Health Care
  • Immigration
  • Restoring America’s Global Standing

President Biden's taken action on these issues  in his first 100 days.    In today's speech, Biden  will announce the

American Families Plan,

" an investment in our kids, our families, and our economic future."

Add at least four years of free education. 

Quote

It will provide universal, quality-preschool to all three- and four- year-olds. It will provide Americans two years of free community college. Including DREAMERS

... In addition, he is calling for an over $80 billion investment in Pell Grants, which would help students seeking a certificate or a two- or four-year degree.

Provide direct support to children and families. 

Quote

will provide direct support to families to ensure that low- and middle-income families spend no more than seven percent of their income on child care....provide direct support to workers and families by creating a national comprehensive paid family and medical leave program that will bring the American system in line with competitor nations that offer paid leave programs

Extend tax cuts for families with children and American workers. 

Quote

extend key tax cuts in the American Rescue Plan that benefit lower- and middle-income workers and families, including the Child Tax Credit, the Earned Income Tax Credit, and the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit

Quote

In all, the American Families Plan includes $1.8 trillion in investments and tax credits for American families and children over ten years. It consists of about $1 trillion in investments and $800 billion in tax cuts for American families and workers. Alongside the American Families Plan, the President will be proposing a set of measures to make sure that the wealthiest Americans pay their share in taxes, while ensuring that no one making $400,000 per year or less will see their taxes go up. When combined with President Biden’s American Jobs Plan, this legislation will be fully paid for over 15 years, and will reduce deficits over the long term.  

National comprehensive paid family and medical leave program should be well received especially since Ivanka Trump pushed for this in prior WH.

Republican response to the speech will be given by Senator Scott.

The plot thickens! 

Wonder what color is Rudi sweating now? 

I wouldn't trust Rudi at all. You know now that there's no pardon for turkeys, he's going to be squealing! 

The noose ??☹️is tightening! They're all in the ***, Manafort, Stone, Bannon and I'm willing to bet that Miller and DeJoy etc are sweating bullets all the way to his kids and I am hoping, so hoping, for McConnell and Barr to get sucked in. 

I want precedents set, so NO ONE will try this nonsense again, incl Democrats!

I agree with all of this except for Manafort, Stone, and Bannon.  All are willing spies/agents for the Russians and possibly other foreign enemies and so will not say a word.  All know that they will be killed in a very painful way and their fortunes/pay for being traitors will be taken from them and their families.  Thus, all will choose an American prison.  

McConnell and Barr will try to deflect until they cannot deflect any more and turn State's evidence.  Miller, DeJoy, etc. will flip like coins!  Grab the popcorn, folks!  ?

Actually I'm hoping that is where this is leading. To the Russians. 

I have absolutely no doubt that many Republicans are in the pockets of the Russians in some way. I want evidence and massive sanctions against Russia and anyone else meddling in our business. And, I think, Joe the plumber, is the man for the job! 

I was so wrong about Joe and I am so pleased to be so wrong! I really thought he had lost the fire of his early years but it looks like with age, he's learned to harness it properly. 

That's why I always listen to my elders, plus they are funny old buggers. This society needs a radical change in line with the ENTIRE REST OF THE WORLD, where everyone celebrates their older folks and gives them the respect due, unless it's Mitch McConnell!

I think the country is starved for exactly this type of prioritization and investment.

Too right! You didn't miss anything. Difficult to lead a blind opinionated man to the water.

I didn't get a chance to watch, and just going by what the CNN commentator says are the highlights.  A Harris/Pelosi elbow bump.  Schumer's suit.  Biden was able to ad lib in a coherent manner.  And, he used "we".           

Wow.

It seems you and tmb have a hard time replying to any of my posts without being personal.  Why is that?

It's very difficult to explain colors to a blind man especially when you have no interest in actually doing so. I think and I know that republicans have a difficult enough time as it is. You can't appreciate colors if you have a heavily tinted glasses on. 

Remember, cultists absolutely cannot ever ever seek the truth, only reinforce their lies!

Enlighten me.  Do you have anything to say about the actual speech, or the Republican response?  Or are you just so pathetic you need to hang out here online  and insult strangers you don't know?

Had to laugh when Hannity started after show with verbage "old, Frail Joe" --- he needs a vision check as thats not what I saw with my new glasses.   Senator Tim Scott gave a decent response -good orator, but what I found missing was alternate ideas.

Missed Biden's speech:?  

C-SPAN has speech , can  even choose individual topic section of interest.
