WASHINGTON In legacy mode, outgoing President Joe Bidens White House is warning the Republicans who are about to take power against repealing his biggest achievements.
Repealing President Bidens signature laws would be an historic redistribution of wealth from working Americans to Big Pharma and China, Andrew Bates, a senior White House spokesperson, writes in the subject line of a new memo being circulated to interested parties and allies, which was first obtained by NBC News.
The memo makes an economic and political case against undoing Biden era laws that President-elect Donald Trump and Republicans have put on the chopping block in major party-line legislation that theyre eyeing for next year, most notably the clean energy and health care provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act.
Depriving the American people of these benefits would be a gut-punch to our economic growth, the memo says, and would provoke a tidal wave of opposition from the American people. It serves as a mix of messaging advice for Democrats and a preview of the fight to come next year as Trump and a GOP-controlled Congress seek to use the budget reconciliation process to advance key parts of Trumps agenda on party lines.

(59 posts)At least in the backs of most people's minds (if they're not hardline Maga) know that our civil society is going to hell once Trump takes power. What's heart wrenching is watching every leader and statesman attempt to throw conventional bureaucracy at the situation whenever it's clearly screaming for something altogether extreme. I mean, for God's sake, is it all just a reality show?!
If the wheels are coming off, at least strike first on the frontlines of our political institutions. Everybody knows Trump and his following are lawless, a danger to the country and everyone in it. He's most definitely oppressing tens of millions of us before he even retakes the seat.
I just can't understand how everybody in high ranking positions, and every lawful safety measure just steps aside as if it's all being subdued by the unchecked power of a tyrant, a cabal of billionaires and their army, but then it all makes sense...
because it's true
