As I thought, most of the Biden supportive comments are he's not Trump or won't do what Trump did.
Boojum at least you put some thought into it and listed his platform agenda, which from my perspective I can totally understand why half the USA people are against. They are good talking points and get me elected topics, that Biden has always been good at even if there is no intent to fulfill them. They are mostly all give me free stuff items to fulfill somebodies wish list.
This is going to come out as mean and uncaring but I had parents that fed me, clothed me, kept a roof over my head, and generally took care of my needs until I turned 16. At that point I moved out and it became my responsibility. I got a job, a roof over my head, paid for my education which yes I'll agree took me ten years to get as well as pay for, I even got married had a couple children and some how during all this kept myself and family fed. Did this happen all over night or by the time I was twenty, no, it did not. Was I handed anything, No. I left at 16 with a minimum wage job, I didn't rob or steal or get thrown in jail. I couldn't afford to do drugs and I had to learn responsibilities such as savings, time management, and yes there was some play time but not a lot, mostly work, school, sleep, and repeat.
So lets break the platform down,
· Creating a national test and trace program for coronavirus
I don't know about you but I don't like the idea of being tracked by my cell phone and knowing everyone and everywhere I've been. I'd rather give up my cell phone. I don't like group text now, much less have an alert go off every time I walk down the street and I get twenty five alerts because somebody got a positive test that walked past a guy that I walked past, or that I am required to get a test because three days ago I happened to be with in six to ten feet of somebody who came up positive. no thanks on the tracing and testing.
· Universal pre-school and expanding free college
There is no such thing as a free, somebody is going to pay for it or are the schools and professors going to be volunteer and do it with out compensation. Now if you say tax payers, then this also applies to the next topic. Tax payer funded programs without cost controls don't work. When the program wants, or needs more money they just want to dig a little deeper in to the peoples pockets again. This I would say is one reason the US primary schools fail to reach the high standards that they should, it has become all about how much money can they get or are entitled to. Not how good is our product that we are turning out.
· Expanding Obamacare
I lived under government run health care. No Thanks! Apply the answer above on funding and cost. The same thing happens here, you will end up with two systems. The basic that fulfills the basic requirements at mediocre level care and a higher level of care for those that can afford to pay for it. In effect if you can afford it you will pay twice once out of taxes and then out of pocket, if you want quality care. O-care has and will always be a socialist ploy that the Socialist around the world love to use. Give the people something even if it is designed bad or can't work the way it is designed because once it is in effect we can always say we need to reform it an it needs more money, people, or recourses. Just get it in place because then anybody who wants to take it away we can make them look like monsters. "They" want to take away your heath care. It doesn't matter that you didn't have this 12 years ago and we put in a flawed program and sold you a bill of goods. You bought our song and dance now you'll have to fix it. The same thing happened with the USA's Social Security, Welfare, and Medicare for their elderly. Don't dare think about taking them away you must be a monster, just pump in more tax money. Many scholars said they were flawed at the beginning and unsustainable without cost controls but people like give me's they don't like controls.
· Restoring the USA's international reputation (and maybe taking on China)
And you think Biden is going to bite the hand that feeds him. No foreign bad actor, country that I know of has said "Oh No Biden got elected we're up a creek now" mater of fact just the opposite, SK is worried he won't stand up to NK. Iran is happy they'll get what they want just like Obama and Kerry. Mexico not thrilled, Brazil is not happy at all. The US should have good relations with everyone as long as you line the right pockets.
· Criminal justice reform
Even the Dems had to admit this was one of Trumps accomplishments, enough that they were worried about the minority vote. Unless your looking the opposite way then the lock em up policies of both Biden and Harris may be a point.
· Grants for business support in minority communities
More free money stuff, People will either need deep pockets or something has got to go. Some major cuts coming somewhere.
· Incentivising states to decriminalise pot, and expunge pot convictions
I'm kind of in support of this one, except I'd like to see a readily available quick test method to determine the under the influence level like they have for alcohol. There are a lot of critical jobs I want people thinking straight for much less the driving issue.
· Raising the minimum wage
Raise it as high as you want but don't whine about inflation or unemployment. Do you really think the CEOs are going to just take this out of their pockets and go home with less. Stock holders won't be happy and they won't have a job long. So he should pay a higher minimum plus he'll need to give some to those already there you don't expect the bottom to get more without raising the others do you. Now either prices go up, profits go down, or cut people. I can hear it now, People won't buy our product at that high of price so maybe just shut the doors and go out of business. Maybe we can raise our prices and people will still buy our product, but if you have to pay more for everything, did raising the minimum help?
· Investing in green energy
more free money, Tax break, instead of for the rich for people with same political view. At least for the rich it was fair for all rich no mater your views on things. I thought you were against tax breaks for the rich?
What's Biden going to do?
