Biden Goes Big.

In a remarkable speech before Congress, President Biden bet that America are is to spend money on itself. (NY Times)

Taken together, the collection of initiatives that Mr. Biden has introduced in his first 100 days in office suggest a breathtaking scope of change sought by a 78-year-old president who spent a lifetime as a more conventional lawmaker. After presenting himself during last year’s campaign as a “transition candidate” to follow the volatile tenure of Donald J. Trump, Mr. Biden has since his inauguration positioned himself as a transformational president.
— By Peter Baker, writing for 'The New York Times'

A 78 year old President could be thought of as transitional figure but President Biden seems intent on giving people the opportunity to rethink the role of government in their lives, which is transformative. For the past 45 years the American people were taught that government was evil and did nothing but stand in the way of progress. President Biden thinks otherwise and is willing to bet big that Americans share his sentiment about the role of government in society. The heavy lift on convincing a majority of the public will be extraordinary considering the the nation is more polarized now that it has been in the last 150 years. God speed.
