Dear President Biden, Be Bold. Don't fall for the "okie-doke".

[Yavin4]

Republican presidents always seem to leave a steaming pile of sh&%t that a Democratic president has to spend his first term cleaning up. In fact, a Democratic president only gets 2 years to turn America into one giant Disneyland before Republicans re-take the congress and shut down all legislation.

President Biden, don't fall for the trap. Be bold in your first two years. You will have a Democratic congress behind your back. Use it! Push through landmark legislation on healthcare, climate change, education, infrastructure, etc.

Most importantly, do not fall for the bullshit about the national debt. This country will be in a near depression, if not a full depression, when you take office. It will not be a time to balance the books. Balancing the budget makes no economic nor political sense. Clinton balanced the budget in his first term, and he lost the congress. He left office with a budget surplus which didn't help Gore at all. NO REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT HAS LEFT OFFICE WITHOUT GROWING THE SIZE OF THE DEBT/DEFICIT. So, fuck them when they start crying about it.

More, in a depression, people cut back on spending which is why the government has to spend to make up for the shortfall in demand. Government spending to build up our infrastructure and fight climate change not only boosts the economy, but pays for itself for years with increased consumption.

Listen, I know that the Joe Scarborough/deficit scold class will be out in force, begging you to cut entitlements, but do not listen to them. Cutting entitlements during a severe economic down turn will lose you the congress real soon, and then it's 2 years of investigations of Hunter Biden and SCOTUS seats sitting empty.

Be bold, sir. It's the only path forward.
