President Joe Biden will tout his economic agenda in remarks Wednesday as he campaigns for a second term amid low polling numbers on his job performance and the direction of the country.

The president’s plan, which the White House dubbed “Bidenomics,” aims to “move beyond” the “trickle down” economic theory that it says disproportionately benefits the wealthy and big corporations through tax cuts while reducing investment in priorities such as infrastructure and education, and failing to protect market competition.

Tying his name to it seems like a bad idea. People opposed Obamacare because of the name; half the country gets off on hating Democrats mostly because of the color of the ticket. Calling it Bidenomics will only make it easier for the talking heads to shit on it.

Meh. They'd do it regardless and it's not half, more like 25-30%. Rather a lot of the country doesn't vote.

In any case, I think the focus should be on the substance of the policy, not what the local baboon population happens to be screeching about today.

I was gonna say "I'd go to that zoo" but then I remembered I've been to Walmart in the last year, so I have already been to that zoo....
