Direct quote from the article,"What was once seen as Biden's vulnerability as a Democratic candidate -- his mixed record on race -- has become a presidential asset. It's easier for him to propose plans that help people of color without sparking a White backlash." Read the article for more details on his plans. Talk is cheap. Policy and action are a different story.

@UrsiMajor same as we seen from Obama.

I read the article as I was contemplating posting it in my group when I seen it come up here. If you correlate the information within with history, history already provides the answers and image of outcome. I feel fairly safe my conjecture will be for the most part accurate. Policy without action arrives to nowhere. Policy without funding as is often the case goes nowhere. Policy within purposeful tribal agenda perception management when controlled by public relation firms, NGO groups, and corporations either go nowhere or are highly diminished. The talk indeed is cheap. That's the history.

@William_Mary So this isn't action? " The American Rescue Plan, which was signed into law in March, includes direct cash payments to struggling families. Two other plans would rebuild the country's infrastructure and expand tax credits to help working families and make education more affordable."

Please enlighten us on what action needs to be taken, how the American Rescue Plan could be doing more with a hostile force known as Republicans. It's nice to think we can do anything with opposing forces in the background.

@UrsiMajor as I said above (Inequality will be worse under Biden as his infrastructure plans will benefit large corporations, CEO's, board members and stock holders as the deals are made with them. Wages and bonuses will go only to them, no major changes for wages for the workers.)

We're throwing money at a issue in which many people don't need the money. Sure, it's helping those who have been tossed to the curve. But why were they tossed to the curve in the first place? Well, the first 2 relief bills for smaller businesses were highjacked by large corporations and restaurant chains. That also includes by some of representatives businesses, campaigns, and their spouses businesses.

I have to ask. While that was happening under the trump administration, were you complaining about ethics then? Because that same issue still exists. What little they are getting now is to little to late.

Your hostile force leads me towards tribal politics which I consider as the problem with most peoples politic think. If you don't recognize the hostility from the democrat party you're allowing yourself to miss the big picture. Biden is essentially following the very same policies as trump from a to z and you're missing that. So you're probably missing detailed information on how his plans are currently being diminished from within his own party and he himself.

The whole process of handling the virus and economy was a bust from the gate. Maybe you missed China's example while falling for all the negative false coverage to wage a cold war with them? I don't know. But the essential relative message here is that the issue is still being handled as a corporate benefit rather that a social emergency. The country should have been shut down by February of 2020 and all this would have been reduced to minor outbreaks easily handled after 2 months saving trillions that went to corporations and the ruling class. All aspects of relief you mentioned above, as far as monetary expenditure, most went to the top few percent while this issue has been dragged out within a social murder campaign for their benefit. trump-biden one in the same.
