Is Biden’s spending plan about the money or the power?
Why not both? I’m not sure Stephen Green has it quite right when he casts his chips with the “power” side. After all, many provisions in the plan go directly to maintaining Democrat power, like this one:
Illegal aliens will be having a field day. Not only will they continue to be allowed to flood into the country largely unimpeded thanks to the Biden border crisis, but they will be immediately eligible for free college enrollment, student loans, and the child tax credit, effectively giving them a permanent guaranteed basic income.
But then, a big motivation for the spending (which I’ve been tracing since I noticed the Obama administration requiring states to hire specific contractors to spend federal money) is to give Democrat and progressive activists rivers of money.
But then again, that money is to fund the radical transformation of our country, which goes back to power.
