Sure.
With that simple sentence, Biden officially closed the book on the dominant economic theory of the last 40 years: That success by affluent people at the top of the economy would trickle down to the average American. It's been the theory behind every major tax cut pushed by Republican presidents since Ronald Reagan -- including Donald Trump's 2017 cut -- and is so closely associated with our 40th president that the economic idea is known colloquially as "Reaganomics."

I wish him luck. I'm a capitalist not a socialist but we need a big swing in how resources are distributed in this country. Something you SECOND have been saying for years.
So has comrades Signym and kiki. Now that Biden is trying to do so they no longer seem to believe that. All they want is to attack. No surprise there. That's what trolls do.

Still waiting to see those receipts of how Second took it upon himself to redistribute the hundreds of millions of tax dollars Trump saved him.
Oh... wait.
He never even bothered lying and saying he did that.

Imagine the hypocrisy of a government who will allow businesses to card people to get a job or buy groceries, but won't card people to vote in elections and gives millions of non-citizens free money from taxpayers.

Though Biden is rarely described as gifted orator, his speech was a remarkable performance in part because it didn’t soar and largely didn’t even try to. In plain-spoken language, he depicted a breathtakingly large agenda as plain common sense. Instead of imploring partisans to take sides, he projected bewilderment that any practical-minded person of any persuasion could be opposed.
Under a pose of guilelessness, Biden’s speech was in fact infused with political guile. The agenda he promoted to expand both free pre-school and community college, to subsidize the shift to a low-carbon economy, to fund a massive wave of new public works construction by taxing the very wealthy, represented years of pent-up demand by progressives. But much of the money would be spent in ways designed to break up the Trump coalition, which was powered heavily by middle- and lower-middle class whites who do not have college degrees with contempt for many parts of the progressive agenda.

It may have a positive affect on the Trump voter but it was not designed to do so. It's about needed changes and yes those changes will appeal to all who benefit.

Quote:Not so funny, but I predict exactly zero Republican Senators will vote for any of these "needed changes". Probably Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia won't vote for it either. If Manchin can't be persuaded by Biden, nothing happens and the Republicans will then take back control of the Senate in 2022. At that point, some really stupid and destructive things begin to happen.

Biden*'s nonsense will be short lived.
We're done with the Democrat party that is now backed up by every major multi-national corporation with no loyalty to or care for America's interests.

LOL
The drop in viewership from Trump's first speech to a joint session to Biden*'s first speech to a joint session is almost as bad as the viewership drop from last year's Oscars to this year's.
Where are all those supposed Biden* voters?
They weren't watching Biden*.
Quote:
An estimated 26.9 million people watched the president’s address across 16 broadcast and cable networks, according to Nielsen figures released this afternoon.
That’s a steep drop from the 47.7 million who watched Donald Trump’s first speech to a joint session on February 28, 2017.
Nielsen reported that the bulk of Biden’s audience — 18.5 million — were 55 and older. The figures include out of home viewing. Starting at around 9:10 PM ET, the just over one hour speech aired live last night on ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, Telemundo, Univision, PBS, CNBC, CNN, CNNe, Fox Business Network, FOX News Channel, MSNBC, Newsmax, NewsNation and Newsy.

I think more people should watch him so they can see how unfit he is for the job.

I can honestly say I don't know what is going to happen. I am though, hoping for the best.

Biden declares war on America -- literally
His long, insufferable speech was all about government power and nothing about individual freedom

President Biden’s confused and meandering speech to Congress on Wednesday night bombed worse than the Academic Oscars earlier this week.
The half-empty House chamber made it look like a birthday party where nobody showed up. And the sad losers who did show up were all early-vaxxed and double-masked. Their mothers should have made them all wear helmets.
At least you cannot say it was a terribly partisan affair. Democrats and Republicans alike were joined in the profound desire to drift off to sleep. Even House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, one of the world’s reigning experts at pretending to be awake, blinked back the suffocating tedium.
