One of my hope with the Biden administration is… smaller government, lower deficits β π¨ β¬οΈ
I have observed over the years that Democratic presidents tend to be much better at cutting the deficit and reducing government spending then Republican presidents.
While the GOP is quite happy to flood the military, defense contractors and the police with unneeded new funding when they are in charge of the White House they don’t like funding social or community programs and will make the deficit spending a major issue in the Biden presidency.
A strong post pandemic economy might even mean the federal government is running in the black and could lead to significant investments in infrastructure and climate resilience which is going to be all the more important in coming years.
And I think that’s a good thing because it will lead to a more affordable and better government.
