Biden gave a great speech, a truly dignified patriotic American President. One who has the working class people best interests and not a self centered lackey as the previous one was.

The working class stands to be hurt the most when the economic recovery tanks. Jobs will disappear and prices for goods and services will skyrocket and everyone will pay higher taxes. This is a massive tax increase that will hurt the economic recovery.

Why is the right against improving our infrastructure to a first world country status of the 21st century?

Does the right believe we don't deserve better? Do they believe our taxes should only pay for salaries of congress?

Child and elderly type care and all the other Dem giveaways are not infrastructure.

Those are social programs.
