quote:

Launching an economic pitch expected to anchor his fall presidential campaign, Democratic candidate Joe Biden is proposing sweeping new uses of the federal government’s regulatory and spending power to bolster U.S. manufacturing and technology firms.

Biden calls for a $400 billion, four-year increase in government purchasing of U.S.-based goods and services plus $300 billion in new research and development in U.S. technology concerns. Among other policies expected to be announced Thursday, he proposes tightening current “Buy American” laws that are intended to benefit U.S. firms but can be easily circumvented by government agencies.

quote:

The former vice president will discuss the proposals Thursday at a metal works concern in Dunmore, Pennsylvania. It’s the first of a series of addresses Biden plans as he shifts his line of attack against President Donald Trump to the economy. It’s political turf the Republican incumbent once considered a clear advantage before the coronavirus pandemic curbed consumer activity and drove unemployment to near-Depression levels.

quote:


An opening emphasis on manufacturing and labor policy is no coincidence: Biden wants to capitalize on his union ties and deliver on oft-made claims he can win back working-class voters who fueled Trump’s upset win four years ago.

A Democrat wants to solve an issue by throwing money at it?

So he wants to give Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, AT&T, and other tech giants $300 billion to develop more surveillance tech while bringing in more HB-1 visas to the US.

Creepy Crazy and his son Coke-sniffin' Hunter were and are totally bought-and-paid-for by the CCP, but this doofus has the nerve to promote American products? Sure, bro.

OMB can knock this out of the park in at least 2 different ways.

Where does this $700 billion come from again? Biden is going to take our money and then give it back to us? Is this some scam to make him seem like a good person?

This is superficial foolishness. What really is "made in America?" Does just being assembled here qualify? Biden, if elected, will revert to the same old made in China position of the last 30 years.

Trumps campaign is a fricking mess.

Biden's camp knows they aren't going to go through with something like this but it's a super smart campaign move to get back working class.

The fact he announced this before trump ever did is a complete failure on trumps campaign.

Trumps team literally has had months to shift the narrative from covid and riots and haven't done anything.

This will be the headlines in the Midwest and regardless its the biggest lie and something Biden won't act on if president all that matters is he's president.

Trump's campaign has been running Biden China ads for a long time now.

It's almost comical that he's adopting some of Trump's own policies because he knows they are popular. Why vote for him in stead of Trump?

This can’t be true because liberals have assured me that economic nationalism is a bad thing.

Biden is a fake appeasing and lying to a State where he will lose.
