As far as the spending bills, who cares,, the government is broke and the bulk it won't ever be spent anyway.

Biden is a neoliberal, cut from the same cloth as Bill Clinton.
No, nationalizing industries is socialist, and Keynesian Democrats would not have even considered this. They were capitalists, "embedded liberals." Learn your history.
No, Biden and all Democrats, including Bill Clinton himself, have moved left during this 4T era. Clinton in 1993 would never have proposed, let alone get passed, $2 and $3 trillion spending bills.
