Ep. 4.4.21: Biden’s New New Deal

THE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICS

This Week’s Discussion:

 

Perhaps the two most crucial things this country needs to do is fix our broken democracy and fix our broken country. We talked about Biden's and the Democrats' efforts to address voting rights last week and this week we discuss Biden's plan to fix the country. The US has failed to invest in itself for years, and Biden's plan is to make much, but not all, of the investment we need to keep America competitive. It is a laundry list of things this country needs that will greatly improve the lives of our citizens while paying for itself by raising taxes on the super-rich, including super-rich foreigners and Covid profiteers. It is immensely popular. So who can be against this? Why, Republicans, of course. 

Dave also talks about the military repression and murder in Myanmar that has the GOP up in arms about the fact that they can't do that too. Dave also opines on the latest assaults on US democracy and, speaking of which, on the investigation into possible child sex trafficking and other sex crimes by vile Congressman Matt Gaetz. He really is the next Trump, keeping us shocked and not the least bit surprised at the same time.
