My flash reaction to Biden's plan

[nitpicker]

An expensive, but probably necessary, lifeboat.

1. Absolutely. We are playing catch-up. Gotta go big

[onecaliberal]

2. 🖕

3. It is investment. Unlike Republicans' tax cuts, which were expensive.

[magicarpet]

6. Expensive giveaways to the obscenely rich....

[stillcool]

8. good point..

Investing in people, and this country is such a novel theory. So used to the pissed on/pissed off policies.

12. either tax or eat the rich

make your choice

4. Take back the 1% tax cuts from tRump.

That should cover all the expenses. A 50% tax on the 1% and follow up on each and every large company CEO to make sure they pay and don't hide it.

5. And I'm sure it will cost $$$ to invoke the Defense Production Act

But Benjamin Franklin said "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure".

7. Well - we know the cost of doing nothing

Both in lives and dollars. It’s going to be a big lift to bring America back to life, but it’s worth every penny.

9. Debt isn't such a worry when we need big plans in times like..

the Great Depression and this pandemic. Plus, as said, we can take back things like those tax cuts for the rich.

10. And he was pushing for K-8 school restart

Which is key to getting many moms (and single parent or sharing dads) able to show up in person to work again.

There are a few states with laws ((hopefully enforced with discretion right now)) that makes it be illegal to leave a child under the age of x home alone right now, but I don't think most parents would be happy leaving home alone an eldest still attending elementary school.

11. I a just thrilled that we have a Plan!

Having an actual responsible adult taking on the problems rather than blaming everyone else?

Wonderful.

What would we pay to save a half million people from dying?

I am thrilled.
