A preview of the first 100 days for the Biden Administration is interesting. Not shocking, but interesting considering Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi have been pushing a progressive and radical agenda for years.
Schumer recently sat down for an interview with The.Ink Publisher Anand Giridharadas and revealed plans of what may come in January. A raise in minimum wage, student debt cancelation, more attention to climate issues, and affordable care act expansion are all part of the Democrats initial plans when Biden takes office.
What they didn't taken into consideration is not only who will be left paying the bill for all of this, but how does any of their plans bring the country together? We're more divided by the things not on this list, and the implementation of any of these would be like ether to a gas fire for the middle class.
Yes, it's important to note COVID-19 improvements was listed by Schumer and that's something we can all agree on. But it's time to fix the economy by getting people back to work and not killing the small business structure by forcing higher wages or continued shutdowns to deal with the virus.
The Democrats are out of touch with reality. How do they expect this will help the Country's bottom line? Schumer said the plan was "FDR like", but here are the facts about that statement. Franklin Delano Roosevelt won 57% of the popular vote and carried all but six states in the 1932 election for a 472 to 59 win over Herbert Hoover.
Roosevelt worked to revive an economy from ruins in a different time with much different challenges. Like now, a quarter of the workforce was unemployed and farmers were in need of major help. That was the backbone of the economy back in the 1930's, but with the digital age being a top priority now, agriculture development has become less important to the overall profile of the country on a global scale.
We need leadership with a focus on us. Sadly, this plan isn't it.
