From WSJopinion: By unleashing a radical agenda after campaigning on a return to normalcy, Biden has made the Democrats vulnerable, writes KarlRove

President Biden has 53% approval in the RealClearPolitics average as his 100th day looms. That’s 12 points higher than President Trump at this point in his presidency—but still the second-lowest such rating for any president elected since modern polling of presidential performance began in 1945.

Yet the Biden administration acts as if it has a broad mandate to pursue the most ambitious left-wing agenda in history, involving a massive expansion of the federal government and unsustainable spending increases. One example is the $1.9 trillion Covid relief package, which goes mostly to new programs that have nothing to do with the coronavirus. Similarly, Mr. Biden’s $2.3 trillion infrastructure proposal would spend hundreds of billions on roads, bridges, ports, airports, utility grids and broadband—but almost $1.5 trillion on other things.

All this largess requires confiscatory tax increases that would punish savings by raising capital-gains tax rates, devastate small businesses that pass profits through to their owners by taxing income more heavily, and make U.S. businesses less competitive abroad by raising corporate rates well above those of foreign competitors.

There are also bills that would federalize elections, force unionization of America’s workforce, and make the District of Columbia a state. And of course the panel to study packing the Supreme Court and diminishing its power to curtail unconstitutional laws and executive actions.

opinion KarlRove Is Rove and WSJ calling the Dwight Eisenhower's building America's infrastructure a radical agenda? The monolithic white conservative GOP and MAGATrumpers 'said' they were going to upgrade the infrastructure, but they had no plan, correct? Dems strength and GOP weakness?

opinion KarlRove Another useless, non-fact-checked opinion piece from the opinion. Same old same old.

opinion KarlRove Oh please, would you expect Rove to have a positive predisposition about Biden?

opinion KarlRove Radical: living wages, working infrastructure, tax the rich to pay for early childhood education. Not radical: guns for everyone.

opinion KarlRove I don’t agree with Carl Rove on much, but I think he us right here. I hope POTUS comes to his senses before he has mortgaged all of America’s future with little chance for success! Politicians never admit failure - they only spend more $ to make a suboptimal “success” better!

opinion KarlRove Propaganda Rove is at it again. If radical is building infrastructure, promoting US jobs, educating people, helping the elderly, and putting US back to leading is radical, then bring it on! What’s radical is sending a mob to storm the capital to disrupt democracy cuz u lost.

opinion KarlRove “Radical”

opinion KarlRove Thanks for more wisdom Karl. Now go to your room.

opinion KarlRove Rove, like most Republicans, is swimming in a rip current which is dragging the party into the abyss. They flail at substance while barely mustering remarks for that last gasp of fictitious oxygen before they succumb.

opinion KarlRove Radical derives from 'radix' (Latin for 'root.' ) In that sense, Mr. Biden is taking us back to root values such as equal opportunity, community, meaningful work, and education.

opinion KarlRove Fixing things: So radical.

opinion KarlRove Perhaps. But to whom? The party who dives deeper into authoritarianism by the hour? Americans are tired of a lawless Republican Party that tries to use the force of government for the good of only themselves.

opinion KarlRove More desperation and drama from the radical right...so tiresome...I’ve become deaf to it. The world is moving on in a way the majority likes and supports.

opinion KarlRove Bullshit KarlRove He’s acting on his campaign promises and his “radicalism” is just undoing a lot of the radicalism brought by your previous president. He wants to work together, but he, and only him, sets the agenda. Not the opposite. These two thoughts can go together.

opinion KarlRove Exactly! Biden's greed for leaving his legacy will be tough, if not impossible, unpopular Dems Congress to deliver even with a small majority. It'll give to GOP to attack as he exceeds his mandate with grandiose ideas.

Joe Biden is no FDR: even Obama passed ObamacarePresident Biden's address to Congress and his new legislative packages are being called 'breathtaking,' 'sweeping,' and 'transformational.' Don't believe the hype, says Mickey Kaus Finally some common sense. Super tired of that narrative. Not even in the same realm of FDR. Here we have Trump himself, saying how the 2017 Tax Cut was loved by large corporations. He never mention working people, the middle class etc. He never even said taxpayers. He did say it was the largest tax cut in history. Remember somebody has to pay the taxes corps. DON'T! . But... Biden Is Doing, A ‘Damn-Good’ Job.... In Spite Of ALL The Whining & Complaining, From republi-CONS. .

Mitch McConnell signals smaller infrastructure deal within reach ahead of GOP talks with Joe BidenMcConnell's $600 billion is far less than what Biden is seeking for infrastructure, but his remarks were the strongest signal yet that a smaller bipartisan deal could be reached. Biden needs to leave Mitch McConnell right where he is irrelevant! No. LeaderMcConnell can pound sand. We’re done with you. Sadly, Dems need GOP senators to get anything passed, so it's either some infrastructure or none. Breaking up legislation into smaller chunks isn't a bad idea. If the cost is under a certain threshold, might could get some Republicans on board.
