The biggest hurdle on the road for Biden's economic plan

As Congress considers his economic plan, President Joe Biden faces one overarching challenge: Taking money from people who have influence and giving it to people who don't is hard.

... "It's very hard to talk about when you get in the room," said Hank Gutman, who once advised Congress as chief of staff for the Joint Committee on Taxation. "Empirical evidence, sound economic theory -- none of that matters."

[The GOP has trained its base to loathe the policies that would help them most.]

Roadblock Republican opposition has become a given. The party has a strong electoral motivation to thwart a Democratic President, an ideological aversion to tax and spending increases, and a financial incentive to protect business benefactors. Though much of the GOP's White working-class constituency would benefit from economic redistribution, Republican lawmakers rely on cultural appeals to their fear of displacement by non-Whites who would also benefit.

To counter U.S. hostility, China moves towards people centered policies

https://www.moonofalabama.org/2021/09/in-counter-to-us-attacks-china-transforms-itself-from-capital-centric-to-people-centric.html

To counter #China, the #USA shifts to the #oligarchy. To counter #America, China shifts to the #people. Who will win?
Aside from the #ideological #underpinning, the new regulatory moves are #populist. The #masses will like them. They guarantee #President #XiJinping's #reelection at next year's national party congress. They will #strengthen China's #unity in its #competition with the #UnitedStates.

The oligarchs will stop at nothing to fill our minds with their propaganda.

Are there no laws against lying, or even advertising, and presenting it as "news".

SCHOOL PRIVATIZATION LOBBY PLACES FAKE NEWS ON LOCAL STATIONS

With Ed Newsfeed, the Betsy DeVos-funded American Federation for Children distributes syndicated content to TV stations. They run it as news.

ON A WEEKLY basis over the last three years, an arm of the national school privatization lobbying group the American Federation for Children has been producing fake news segments and distributing them to local news stations. The stations often air the segments just as they receive them, allowing anchors to recite accompanying scripts word for word. The aired content includes no disclosure that it was produced by the education advocacy group.
