Biden Headed For Confrontation With Congress As Dems Move To Push Through ‘Green New Deal’<\/span><\/h2>\n

November 9, 2020<\/p>\n

Bloomberg<\/a> recently reminded us that despite all of Joe Biden’s promises about comity and “healing”, a divided Congress could deprive a Biden Administration of the votes it needs to pass the kind of broad, sweeping fiscal stimulus that the market – thanks in part to the pleas of Bill Dudley and other central banker-types<\/a> – has come to expect. Biden has promised to provide this fiscal stimulus (which would in theory deliver a badly needed financial shot in the arm to the consumers who are most likely to spend, rather than save, their money), along with delivering on the infrastructure package that alluded Trump, and securing some wins for the “Green New Deal” – one of the top priorities for lefties like AOC and Elizabeth Warren who will almost certainly have an outsize voice once Biden occupies the White House – along with expanded public child care.<\/p>\n

All of these agenda items have been couched as do-or-die priorities by certain ‘Green New Deal’ types<\/a> who accuse the GOP of just “taking and taking and taking” from the poor. …<\/p>\n

Biden and his team are campaigning on dumping trillions more in stimulus after the historic runup in deficit spending seen earlier this year.<\/p>\n

To fund Biden\u2019s proposals, the administration would be adding to the national debt while taking advantage of historically low interest rates. Biden spent decades in government warning about the dangers of budget deficits. But as president he\u2019ll take over one of the biggest in U.S. history, and has signaled he\u2019s in no rush to pare it back.<\/p>\n

Biden has proposed raising corporate taxes to 28% from 21%, increasing income taxes for those earning more than $400,000 and taxing capital-gains earnings the same as regular income for top earners. A split Congress, though, would create high hurdles to such moves.<\/p>\n

The campaign has outlined a $3.5 trillion economic program to fund his key goals:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shift millions of jobs into clean energy, with the goal of cutting carbon emissions. Boost manufacturing through incentives to buy American goods and support for high-tech research. Expand the availability of care for the youngest and oldest Americans, including universal preschool for three- and four-year-olds. He\u2019s also promised to address inequalities through his plan, saying he would provide aid for minority small-businesses owners. He\u2019s voiced support for a $15 federal minimum hourly wage, equal gender pay and expanded sick leave.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Those reading the description of Biden’s proposals included above can probably figure out that what Biden is proposing isn’t just some kind of economic band-aid: if enacted, it would be the most expansive new government spending programs since the New Deal. https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/political\/biden-headed-confrontation-congress-dems-move-push-through-green-new-deal<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Life Under Biden<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s becoming increasingly evident that Joe Biden is likely to win the election. … It\u2019s not over yet, but everything would have to break right for Trump if he\u2019s to win.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s also issued a number of legal challenges, but they\u2019re unlikely to overturn the results in any state.<\/p>\n

Were there instances of voter fraud in states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan? It\u2019s highly likely, but it would be very difficult to prove in court that they substantially impacted the outcome.<\/p>\n

So it appears right now that Joe Biden will be the next president of the United States, unless Trump can somehow run the table or succeed in the courts. …<\/p>\n

Biden is running for president in name only. He has never been that bright. He has accomplished little in his almost fifty years in public service. He is physically frail and clearly suffering acute cognitive decline.<\/p>\n

If Joe Biden does win, he\u2019ll be 78 years old when sworn in and 82 years old at the end of his first term. Both marks are the oldest in U.S. history for a president. Some individuals are still sharp in their late 70s. Biden is not one of them.<\/p>\n

The result is that Biden will never be president de facto. With Trump out of the picture, Democrats wouldn\u2019t need him anymore. Steps would be taken at some point to remove him from office on the grounds of mental incapacity under the Twenty-fifth Amendment. Nancy Pelosi recently proposed legislation to set up a commission to do just that as prescribed by the U.S. Constitution.<\/p>\n

But while he remains in office, who will be the real president in a Biden administration? There are three camps contending for power:<\/p>\n

The first camp is the Biden family led by Joe Biden\u2019s wife Dr. Jill Biden, his son Hunter Biden, and Joe Biden\u2019s brothers Jim Biden and Frank Biden. These are the individuals who have been enriched through association with Joe Biden by using or selling access to Biden\u2019s power to win lucrative investment management roles, consulting engagements, construction contracts and other remunerative pursuits.<\/p>\n

The Biden family will want to keep Joe in power (with Jill Biden pulling the strings) in order to keep their shakedown operation intact and avoid scrutiny.<\/p>\n

The second camp is led by Kamala Harris and those who control her, including the Obama crew and the Resistance. If Biden is removed under the Twenty-Fifth Amendment, Harris becomes Acting President. If Biden resigns under threat of removal, Harris becomes the president.<\/p>\n

She would be a front for the Obamas and Valerie Jarrett who would operate through a cabinet consisting of Obama family retainers including Susan Rice, Samantha Power, Sally Yates and Eric Holder.<\/p>\n

The third camp is led by the extreme left wing of the party including Bernie Sanders, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (and The Squad), Elizabeth Warren and radical organizations such as BLM. This group is already embedded in the Biden campaign as part of a deal whereby Bernie Sanders agreed to end his primary campaign and endorse Joe Biden in exchange for Biden adopting most of the Sanders platform.<\/p>\n

The most likely outcome is that the Obama crew and the Bernie Bros will join forces and run the Biden family off the road. …<\/p>\n

But, it appears that the Republicans are going to retain control of the Senate. If that holds, the Democrats\u2019 more radical legislation will never make it out of the Senate. …<\/p>\n

So if Biden holds on and Republicans hold onto the Senate, you can expect a lot of bickering and a lot of gridlock. 11\/06\/20 https:\/\/dailyreckoning.com\/life-under-biden\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One reason that I have been using the term Biden-Harris Administration is that I do not believe that Joe Biden has the capacity to truly function as President of the United States. Even if he does at times, he simply does not look to have the physical and mental ability at this stage of his life. And he is not even in office yet. I expect someone other than Joe Biden to really pull the strings even if he is the President of the United States. He may well be pushed aside via the 25th amendment, illness, or other means.<\/p>\n

As far as gridlock goes, that may increase protests and the divide in the USA–that will not end well (cf. Matthew 12:25).<\/p>\n

But the ‘gridlock’ would not be complete.<\/p>\n

Meaning?<\/p>\n

Presuming the Biden-Harris Administration does get in, some items that the Republicans either agree on or do not care enough to stop will happen.<\/p>\n

Such as?<\/p>\n

1) Increased debt is one of them.<\/p>\n

The total amount of the official debt of the USA has increased about as much in the 4 years of the Trump Administration as it did the 8 years of the Obama Administration.<\/p>\n

Even Barack Obama referred to the debt increases as “unsustainable” early in his first presidential term.<\/p>\n

Yet, both Republicans and Democrats have continued to “sustain” such increases.<\/p>\n

According to biblical prophecy, this will end in destruction (cf. Habakkuk 2:6-8).<\/p>\n

2) While the “Green New Deal” per se<\/em> may not be implemented, Joe Biden is committed to having the USA part of the Paris Climate Accords that the USA officially pulled out of last week. This will put certain obligations, similar to the “Green New Deal” upon the USA to implement. Furthermore, once the Biden-Harris Administration controls the US Environmental Protection Agency, expect it to issue regulations that will be consistent with the “Green New Deal.”<\/p>\n

Now, I am NOT saying that all associated with the Paris Climate Accords or the Green New Deal are wrong (they are not), but aspects of them will impact the economy of the USA as well as have certain societal consequences. Some of which may incite protests and civil unrest.<\/p>\n

3) Republicans have shown that they are quite willing to support aspects of the LGBTQ agenda. Hence, do not expect them to stop all enabling of that agenda that the Biden-Harris Administration would push.<\/p>\n

This will end in God’s judgment and death (cf. Romans 1:18-32).<\/p>\n

4) Joe Biden, and even more so Kamala Harris, are strident supports of abortion. So much so, that they are willing to overrule religious rights.<\/p>\n

Here is something from the official Joe Biden campaign website:<\/p>\n
