Since Donald Trump has stopped being president in anything but name, President-elect Joe Biden decided to assume the role six days early.
In announcing his $1.9 trillion economic rescue package on Thursday night, ahead of his inauguration this Wednesday, Biden made clear that his quest for bipartisanship will not crimp his policy imagination or his determination to go big to revive the economy.
He showed that Democrats have learned from the Obama years that excessive caution in the face of a severe economic downturn is a mistake for both policy and politics.
And he argued his case in terms that can be described only as “populist,” pointing to the “growing divide between those few people at the very top who are doing quite well in this economy and the rest of America.”
