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