    Biden Economic Team

    https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/30/b...gtype=Homepage

    Behind paywall, unless people know workarounds, but the gist of it is he's going to contest the idea that the GOP has somehow become the party of the working class under Trump.

    In general I think it's healthy for both parties to be competing for voters said to be in the other's bloc. Art likes it when the GOP competes for minority voters, along these same lines.

    Suddenly Mitch will be concerned about deficit spending.

      Oh yeah. Except for those Federal highway funds that have been gushing into Ky these last years.

        choosing a team that is stocked with champions of organized labor and marginalized workers, signaling an early focus on efforts to speed and spread the gains of the recovery from the pandemic recession

          Gibberish. “an economy that gives every single person across America a fair shot and an equal chance to get ahead.”
          Biden’s team will be focused initially on increased federal spending-

          There you have it in a word.
          Maybe that's not all bad. If you can put people to work isn't that helpful? Not always. The end products sometimes aren't up to snuff. It's still good to have people working right? It sounds good.

            Well what's the alternative message then to people who can expect to work at the pack until their bodies give out, then collect Social Security? Abandon hope all ye who enter here? Arbeit macht Freiheit?

            It's fair to say that at some level, neither party gives a sh*t about kids, or poor people. Which party is less hypocritical about that? Genuine question.

              A lot of Biden's picks for advisory positions, his cabinet are and have been losers in the intellect department; in other words, when brains were passed out they missed their chance!

                Unlike say your Wilburs Ross or Peters Navarro?

                Seriously your criticism is 180 degrees out from what they'll say on Fox eventually, which is that Biden leans on academic elites who are out of step with the lives of real Iowans. Whether it's true or not, Hannity will eventually say it.

                  you are going to trigger Sam again, then we will have to tolerate (or edit out) a few weeks worth of hitler references,


                  and you know the DNC truly cares for all minorities and children, until the day after election day, then back to business as usual

                      If that's what they want, they should fix the American education system -- we should be turning out doctors, scientists, plumbers and air-conditioning specialists, not good little Socialists.

                        What a broken record.

                          To be part of Biden's "team" you do not have to know how to do the job, do not need qualifications for the job or even know what the job entails. You just need to be a queer, black or a woman.

                            Hey Bozo:
                            Why don’t you post a spreadsheet with the nominees and your critiques of each’s qualifications and your rebuttal of each.

                              Negative name calling is an indication of intelligence you know!
