The Nation’s Agenda

Much of what we think America is no longer tracks true. We have fallen off the rails. We need to repair and redirect our efforts and attention. A lot of work is needing to be done. I am not happy we are in this position. But we are. To hell with blaming anyone for this set of circumstances. We are here regardless. Now we need to get to work.

Joe Biden is the duly elected President of the nation. There are those who disagree with this, but the court system has ratified his election. It is what it is.

The condition of the nation is what it is. We must make the best of the situation and get to work. This is not Joe Biden’s agenda. It is ours. This agenda is to fix and improve on our situation. For all our sakes.

A defeat in congress of any part of the agenda is a defeat for the nation – you and I. Congress appears out of step with most Americans. Last I checked here is what the majority supports:

1.       Defense of the nation in diplomatic circles; well thought out diplomatic policies

2.       Defense readiness of the nation militarily; remove us from debilitating military skirmishes; let the global community take on that job

3.       COVID-19 defeated as soon as possible; if this requires mandated masks and vaccinations, so be it.

4.       Reimburse landlords for lost rental income during the pandemic and block evictions; help states administer the hundreds of billions of dollars already disbursed for this purpose

5.       Get to work on rebuilding our infrastructure; this is to fix or replace the old, but also build the new and technologically advanced

6.       Focus on competitive advantage of America in the global marketplace

7.       Reduce poverty and it effects greatly in our nation if not entirely

The economy will benefit from creating new jobs to accomplish the above. Lives will improve because of the above. Standing in the way of these accomplishments is shooting ourselves in the foot. The national debt will be managed just fine so focus on the other stuff.

That is all. Have a nice weekend.

PS: Joe is not running for President. He is the President. His age makes it most unlikely he will run for re-election. He was elected to avoid a repeat of the previous guy and to fix the overwhelming problems left behind. Let him do the job and get on with our lives.
