It looks like Joe Biden will be installed as our next president. As the saying goes, “be careful what you wish for, you may get it.”
Remember this: Biden and Kamala Harris want to loosen immigration restrictions, let undocumented immigrants access health care coverage and institute a watered-down version of Medicare for all, most likely at the expense of private health care plans. They want to rejoin the expensive Paris climate agreement (climate change, carbon emissions), re-enter the poor nuclear agreement with Iran and go back to the old trade agreements with China and others.
Let’s not forget the World Health Organization, which early on parroted the Chinese narrative downplaying the coronavirus. Biden wants to send the WHO millions again. He wants to stop fighting the World Trade Organization, which Trump fought for fairness. Will the Democrats continue to pressure to defund police? Eliminate fracking?
Our forefathers are not turning over in their graves anymore as their statues are defaced or destroyed and reputations are denigrated. They probably are saying among themselves: “We started the greatest nation the world has ever seen, and it lasted almost 250 years. Let the implosion begin. It was a good run.”
