President Joe Biden will tout his economic agenda in remarks Wednesday as he campaigns for a second term amid low polling numbers on his job performance and the direction of the country.

The president’s plan, which the White House dubbed “Bidenomics,” aims to “move beyond” the “trickle down” economic theory that it says disproportionately benefits the wealthy and big corporations through tax cuts while reducing investment in priorities such as infrastructure and education, and failing to protect market competition.

@CMLVI @kuontom

Republicans will shit on Dem progress, no matter what it's called and people influenced by racism are a complete waste of the air they fucking breath.

Don't disagree, but we can be realistic about about a large portion of the voting populace. Saying they're a waste of breath doesn't prevent that bloc from voting

@CMLVI @kuontom The problem with them is you can't find that level of stupid with facts.

They are a waste of breath, space and resources. In fact, they counter progress.

But, surely you understand, there is no way they would ever vote for a sane candidate.

Yeah, I get ya. Just sucks this is the reality within which we operate lol

@CMLVI @kuontom Agreed, its a shit timeline.

Sadly everything I know about implicit racism suggests that we're ALL influenced by it to some degree. You can't live in the ocean without getting wet.

But I figure you mean the people that embrace it, in which case, agreed.

The important part is being aware of this fact and striving to do better.
