Biden priorities are not the priorities of blue collar workers

Lost jobs were the result of raising the minimum wage too much and too fast in Ontario.



Economists: $15 Federal Minimum Wage Will Cost 2 Million Jobs



An estimated 2 million U.S. jobs would be lost if the federal minimum wage is raised to $15 under legislation approved by the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives and endorsed by former Vice President Joe Biden, according to a new study by two economics professors.



"The Arts, Entertainment, and Recreation and Accommodation and Food Services sectors will account for half of these job losses. Workers aged 16-24 will see the highest proportion of job losses, and the majority of jobs lost will be those held by women," the study says.



"Tipped workers will also lose a greater share of jobs affected by minimum wage than non-tipped workers—one in three tipped workers affected by this federal minimum wage increase will lose their job," according to the study.



The study was conducted by economists William Even of Miami University and David Macpherson of Trinity University using a methodology based on economic assumptions provided by the Congressional Budget Office.



The analysis was published recently by the Employment Policies Institute (EPI), a Washington-based think tank that focuses on issues related to entry-level employment policies.

This prog tactic is insulting. They chase 25-50 buck an hour jobs to other countries, but give Tim Horton's servers a raise.

People want good mortgage paying jobs with extended medical, and company pension contributions. They don't want some kids job making shit wages. Progs stand in the way of the middle class dream.

Even with a narrow win, though, Biden likely will push his campaign agenda. Here's a look at some of those policies.



1. Taxpayer-Funded Abortion

Early in his campaign, during the summer of 2019, Biden vowed to do away with the Hyde Amendment, a law that prevents Medicaid funds from being used to pay for most abortions. It's a law Biden previously supported.



The law is named for the late Rep. Henry Hyde, R-Ill.



Past presidents and members of Congress, regardless of their stance on abortion, have supported the Hyde Amendment.



Only in 2016 did the Democratic National Convention platform call for an end to the Hyde Amendment.



2. Amnesty, No More Wall Funding

Biden has a broad immigration agenda that is quite different from Trump's.



Potentially the biggest reversal from the Trump administration is ending the national emergency that Trump declared in early 2019 to use Defense Department dollars to pay for construction of a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.



Biden also said he wants to secure the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy, which protects illegal immigrants who first entered the United States as minors from being deported.



The Trump administration attempted to reverse former President Barack Obama's executive action creating DACA, but the Supreme Court intervened and stopped him on technical grounds.



Biden also said he would rescind the Trump administration's "extreme vetting" of travelers from several majority-Muslim countries in the Middle East seen as terrorism risks.



Biden's campaign also called for a "road map to citizenship for the nearly 11 million people" in the United States illegally.



3. COVID-19 Board

During the campaign, Biden said he wants to set up a Pandemic Testing Board modeled after the War Production Board that President Franklin Roosevelt established during World War II.



The campaign plan says the board would run a national effort to provide diagnostic and antibody tests for COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus; coordinate distribution to every state; identify testing sites and provide sufficient training personnel; ensure adequate lab capacity and swift reporting of results; and provide clear guidance on who needs a test.



In his speech Saturday night, Biden said he would name "a group of leading scientists and experts" on Monday as transition advisers to help turn the campaign's COVID-19 plan into "an action blueprint" to implement Jan. 20, which is Inauguration Day.



"We cannot repair the economy, restore our vitality, or relish life's most precious moments—hugging a grandchild, birthdays, weddings, graduations, all the moments that matter most to us—until we get this virus under control," Biden said.



"I will spare no effort—or commitment—to turn this pandemic around," he said.



The Biden campaign said the Pandemic Testing Board should have members from the public and private sectors as well as state and local leaders.



4. Green Economy

Biden did not endorse the "Green New Deal" supported by the far-left wing of the Democratic Party, but has backed elements of alternative energy and talked about phasing out the use of oil and gas.



He also has gone back and forth about whether he would eliminate the process of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, to find oil and natural gas.



Biden's campaign called for a "modern infrastructure and an equitable, clean energy future" that would focus on using green energy with "sustainable infrastructure."



His campaign said this was necessary to meet the "climate crisis" and build a clean energy economy, as well as to address "environmental injustice" and create what the Democratic nominee called millions of good-paying union jobs.



5. 'Bidencare' and a Public Option

In the second debate with Trump, Biden referred to his health care plan as "Bidencare." The idea  essentially is to build on Obamacare, officially known as the Affordable Care Act, by adding a public option.



This would be short of the "Medicare for All" proposal backed by the left wing of the Democratic Party, but would put government in charge of a health insurance plan that would compete with the private market.



Biden said the public option, in which the government would subsidize cheaper insurance plans, would reduce costs for patients by negotiating lower prices from hospitals and other health care providers.



That plan, as described by the Biden campaign, would ensure that individuals in states where Medicaid wasn't expanded would have access to the public option. The plan also would ensure that states where Medicaid was expanded could move that population to the public option.



6. 'Free' College

Biden has called for providing two years of community college for "free."



This initiative would include illegal immigrants who came to the United States as minors, a demographic frequently called "Dreamers." It would extend to individuals in job-training programs.



Biden also said he wants to make public colleges and universities free for students who come from families with an annual income below $125,000.



Biden adopted the proposal from a primary opponent, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who sponsored the College for All Act of 2017.



7. Equality Act

Biden said he would push for passage of the Equality Act for transgender Americans during his first 100 days in office.



Already passed by the Democrat-controlled House, the law would add "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" as protected classes under the Civil Rights Act of 1964.



Many conservatives are concerned that the move would threaten Americans' religious liberty and privacy—particularly faith-based charities.



"The plan, which would require America's institutions to 'enforce [LGBT] rights,' would be harmful to religious liberty and to the rights of women, parents, and children," wrote Andrea Jones and Alex Richey for The Daily Signal earlier this year.

Whoopie Goldberg says "you suck it up." bwahahahahah...like the way she did this last four years? What a supreme asshole.

Not a single shred of decency can be found in TDS infected liberals and democrats....They are quite possibly the most repulsive, disingenuous, pieces of subhuman waste on the planet. And that homely pile of garbage is a prime example. Their entire kind are nothing but a pack of oxygen thieves.

That is most of Hollywood.

Only because they cancelled the fuck out of pretty much any and everything visibly conservative. And now they're crying poor. They're blaming Trump and Covid, but I know the real reason.



They suck.

Bernie Sanders has never had a real job in his life, so naturally he thinks he is qualified to be a cabinet secretary.



Sen. Bernie Sanders Confirms He's Seeking Labor Secretary Position



Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said he's spoken with Democratic nominee Joe Biden's team about becoming the secretary of labor should Biden win the election.



Several other progressive politicians have reportedly attempted to reach out to Biden in recent days. However, with Republicans likely to control the Senate following the two runoff elections in Georgia in January, it's entirely possible that their nominations would be blocked in the upper chamber even if Biden is victorious.



"Naming such a polarizing choice would be a pretty big bait-and-switch for a president-elect who ran on bringing the country together to solve problems," said Matt Haller, senior vice president of government relations and public affairs at the International Franchise Association, according to The Hill in a report last week.



"This election said many things, but it was not a mandate by voters to turn America into a country that rejects capitalism—just ask the House incumbents who were thrown out of office in purple districts for being unable to separate themselves from the lunatic fringe agenda," he said.

Can you believe the audacity? He wants us to "heal" and "give each other a chance." Did they extend that to Trump? Bastards.

Don't give me that malarky. He tried to expose the corruption of my son and I.

Biden is saying Trump's legal challenges will cause people to die. He doesn't believe his party's cheating had anything to with it.

There was not a "blue wave," which would presuppose a mandate, in the election. Dems lost congressional seats and Republicans gained seats in state legislatures. Trump was not defeated by Joe Biden, but by the media's narrative on COVID and by his own gruff personality.



You can already see where this COVID thing is going.  Biden said he would have done things "better," but he never said what he would have done. I cannot wait to see his brilliant plan.



It will be like Chicago and Atlanta, where both mayors issued a 14-day homicide-at-home edict in order to flatten the curve.

[Anonymous]

neither Biden nor Harris has any private-sector experience or met a payroll. Both politicians have enjoyed careers primarily as public-sector elected officials. The temptation to believe that economic growth can be sustained by regulatory expansion, more deficit spending, and continued easy monetary policy will be difficult to resist. Their instincts reflexively favor more government.

The nutjobs in the democRATs like AOC, crazy Bernie and Rashida Tlaib are looking to collect on their IOU's. This is why the GOP must win one of those two senate run off races to block the Biden agenda.
