He's been out of office and getting rich off his political connections (working as a lobbyist for the legal pot industry) for a while now. He must have done pretty good for himself since he's officially retired and living comfortably now days. I don't think he'll have much input or influence as to what happens from now on.(04-19-2021, 11:40 PM)Einzige Wrote:(04-19-2021, 11:30 PM)Eric the Green Wrote:(04-19-2021, 11:13 PM)Einzige Wrote: Lmao.

Of course they reject neo-liberalism. That doesn't make them communists like you. No-one could be that, and be elected.
The Biden Administration is currently deciding whether or not the top corporate tax rate should be 25 or 28 percent.
The top rate under Obama, a scant six years ago, was 31%.
Biden's Secretary of State believes that private business will solve climate change. The Biden Administration is not going to pursue a higher minimum wage.
The Biden Administration is neoliberal as Hell. It doesn't even amount to postwar Keynesian social democracy lite.
His two giant spending bills are a departure from neo-liberalism. Raising taxes is a departure too. Biden has already proposed a higher minimum wage. OF COURSE private business will solve climate change, IF required to and prodded to by the government. It has already responded. We don't have to nationalize the energy industry to solve climate change. We need to force it to behave.
No-one here believes that you will ever support Biden-Harris. So what's your point?
The issue on this thread is Boehner, and similar Republicans. He might convince people that some Republicans are sensible. But supporting neo-liberalism and Reaganomics is not really sensible at all. It was seen as an extremist view for several decades, and should become so again. The Reagan counter-revolution should be reversed.
If Biden has not reversed it sufficiently, that is and will continue to be mainly the fault of the Republicans, and such support as they have.
