Unsolicited advice for Joe Biden

I’m a bit worried Biden’s going to “step in it” somehow. 

I hope he has a great policy team. 

Here’s my suggestions:

1. Instead of Medicare for All, which the public has no clue as to cost, let’s fine tune the ACA and add a public option and restore the mandate. 

2. Roll back tax cuts, but only for the really rich.  Not the “sort of rich” upper middle class. 

Close corporate and rich people loopholes and  give aways which were slipped into,  or hidden in , the Tax Cut Bill. Many of which mostly helped only people like Trump. 

3. Forget about reparations and focus on economic development in marginalized neighborhoods. How would reparations work anyway?

4. Reject voting rights for prisoners in jail. Incredibly stupid. 

5. Smart, effective climate change initiatives; not The Green New Deal which was more of a socialist screed than a program to address climate change. 

6. Reject identity politics and silly political correctness . Only causes unnecessary resentment. 

7. Instead of free college, allow refinancing of student loans and  bankruptcy protection option for student debtors. No reason student debt should be treated differently from other consumer debt. 

8.  Biden is the only one who can make the effective case that the current strong economy is essentially a continuation of the strong economy ( jobs, stock market etc) begun in the Obama / Biden administration. 

9. Don’t say  stupid things; stop talking while you’re ahead.

Observations

Actually Trump is doing quite a job uniting the country— against him.

Chris Wallace and Shepard Smith speak truth to power. 

It was Comey’s  dam morality that undermined Hillary and tipped the election to Trump.  

 Barr was a very effective defense lawyer for Trump’s personal benefit ; however , I thought his job was Attorney General of the Country. 

In the entire Mueller Report the word “collusion” is never mentioned even once. Yet Barr’s four page summary and press conference used the word “collusion “ over a dozen times. 

 I guess when Trump and Barr say “ no collusion “ they are referring the the total absence of that word in the entire Mueller Report !

Remind me about the scandals that took place  in the Obama presidency.
