BIDEN: On the wrong track

| March 10, 2021 1:00 AM

So how do you like the Biden administration so far? Consider:

• $1.9 trillion COVID Relief Package of which very little has to do directly with COVID relief with the vast majority being pork, including Pelosi’s tunnel in San Francisco and Schumer’s bridge in New York, on top of our record debt.

• Tens of thousands of new illegal immigrants reportedly projected to come within the next couple of months, apparently mostly unaccompanied minors, for us to vaccinate, feed and house.

• While there are conflicting interpretations, an executive order seems to allow transgender males to compete in girls and women’s sports, keeping the girls and women out of the winner’s circle.

• Proposing to raise the capital gains tax rate (which might be OK if gains were indexed for inflation) but also to tax UNREALIZED GAINS. How? If your stock goes down, do you get a refund?
