Joe Biden Became Progressives’ Hero During First 100 Days, And He’s Not Letting Up Anytime Soon

This week included Joe Biden’s 100th day in office. Despite his day-one promise to “be a president for all Americans,” Biden has implemented partisan policies and regulations that have benefited the liberal activists in his party while crushing the middle class and leaving Americans behind.

Now, the question is: Will Joe Biden continue working in this progressive pattern? His two latest policy initiatives indicate that the answer is yes.

Now that Americans are starting to recover from the pandemic, the next big items on Biden’s agenda are his tax-and-spend “infrastructure” plans that are light on hard infrastructure while forcing hardworking Americans to foot the bill.

Associated Press: “In short, the bulk of Biden’s plan does not fit the traditional understanding of infrastructure, meaning below the structure, or foundational. Biden and his team have performed rhetorical gymnastics to make almost everything in the package sound infrastructure-ish.”

Washington Examiner: “The Tax Foundation estimates that Biden’s corporate tax hike would slash 159,000 jobs and that an average 0.7% wage reduction would harm the bottom quintile of workers, who would see a 1.45% decrease in after-tax income. Prices would likely go up, and retirement accounts would be smaller than otherwise.

That’s a middle-class tax hike.”

Meanwhile, Democrats have admitted that Joe Biden’s infrastructure packages are a trojan horse for their radical agenda, including a Green New Deal-styled climate plan and a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants.

Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA): “I think we should just say what this is about. It’s not actually about infrastructure; it’s about jobs. It’s about creating millions of green jobs, creating a climate resilience corps, creating jobs that are tied to public transit, making sure that 40 percent of the investments that are made actually go to frontline communities and, electrifying our grid, and transitioning to a clean, green economy.”

Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA): “One of the priorities I forgot to mention, and I’m sorry I did, for the five priorities is a pathway to citizenship for essential workers to be included in this next jobs package…We are working very hard on every possible way we can get immigration policy done.”

Whitney Robertson, Deputy Press Secretary at America Rising PAC: “Joe Biden’s first 100 days were filled with partisan policies that appealed to left-wing activists more than hardworking Americans. His address to Congress this week made clear that he has no plans to change course and uphold the promises he made during the campaign to be a president for all Americans.”
