In typical liberal fashion, Joe Biden is heaving tons of money and bureaucrats at the virus, while making sure those job slots will be filled by Democrat apparatchiks. We’ve been here before. Remember “The Great Society”?

Working the made up crisis gambit, in the mid 1960s the Democrats (primarily Lyndon Johnson trying to prove to a liberal base he was hip) shoveled vast sums of money to defeat concepts like poverty, racism, and hate. Just like the GWOT, somebody forgot to mention to that administration that you can’t actually defeat a concept. Most of them, sadly, will always be with us in one form or another.

The program crashed and burned and spent trillions of dollars doing it. Everything it tried to cure it made worse and multigenerational. But that’s not Biden’s goal here. This is only about an employment opportunity for Democrat layabouts and doing enough so when, in several months, the media proclaims the miracle of Biden leadership in defeating Covid-19, they will have something to point at as the engine of victory. The win will be a PR exercise, nothing more. The states understand that.

 

FNC: “President Biden laid out on Thursday a strategy for addressing the coronavirus that included increasing funding and the number of federal employees deployed to meet an ambitious set of goals for countering the pandemic. His national strategy consists of 10 new executive orders directing federal agencies to make a variety of reforms designed to, among other things, fill supply shortfalls. The White House will establish a COVID-19 Response Office responsible for coordinating the multi-faceted effort across federal agencies. Some of the key provisions include instructing the federal government to fully reimburse costs for vaccinations, using National Guard personnel, providing emergency supplies, and allowing school reopenings. The strategy also creates a Public Health Jobs Corps designed to have in place 100,000 COVID-19 contact tracers, community health workers, and public health nurses.”

Biden’s wants to “restore trust with the American people” by working towards transparent decisionmaking, conduct regular briefings, and lead “science-first public health campaigns…To rebuild the trust of the American people, the National Strategy will signal clear public leadership and a commitment to a robust whole-of-government response that puts science first. The federal government will be transparent with the American people, maintaining an open line of communication with the public and all stakeholders.” What tripe. Throw money at it. It will somehow work out. That’s what the strategy is. Expect it to be lauded by the media at every opportunity.
