I am worried.
But I selfishly take comfort in a couple of small things.
1. My wife’s on Social Security and I’ll be going on it in a few years. I believe The Dems are not going to cut it. They’ll find a way to shore it up. GOP has too many rank and file members and officials (like Rick Perry) who denounce Social Security as a “Ponzi scheme”. Those people (many on Freerepublic) obviously don’t support it and the GOP that uses that “Ponzi” term can’t be trusted not to gut it - for example by raising the eligibility age to 69 or 70 - even though nobody will hire people in that age group, so this would deny social security to people who have no other income and no way to get employed
2. Right now my family could use that $2k stimulus that Trump supported but Mitch blocked. We’ve been hurt financially in ways that are directly due to the covid . The Dems say that passing the $2k which Mitch blocked will be their first order of business. We’ll see, but at least they don’t deride it as “socialist” - a term that makes no sense from a government that showers other countries with handouts.
3. Also, Biden said he would deliver the infrastructure program that Trump promised in 2016 but was blocked by Mitch and Paul Ryan. Our roads bridges and airports are crumbling, as candidate Trump said in 2016. If it takes Democrats to act on something like Trumps vision, I’ll take it
All that said, I fear what the Dems will do to undermine religious freedom, free speech, sanity and safety in our schools, the sovereignty of our borders, the security of our neighborhoods.
I’m not too concerned about huge tax increases, since Wall Street owns Biden and was his biggest contributor
Ladies and gentlemen. Exhibit A.

Dude,
Roads and bridges are a scam.
That money always goes to crazed Leftist programs and to reward Dem contributors.
The Covid Porkulus just recently demonstrated, yet again, the Dem unions and cash machines will be taken care of first.
Nancy will get more money for the Kennedy Center and Americans stuck with the debt.

Thanks for your post. We had the best times growing up ever. Or at least I did. They can’t take that away from me.
Google something called a “currency collapse”.

Sadly, THEIR “infrastructure program” will be very different from what you would want. Look for MASSIVE financing of “blue” cities, states and areas. Look for funding of mass transit and ALTERNATIVE ENERGY.
The will undermine all those things you mentioned but worse.
They will eliminate a cash society. We will all get a number-almost there already with debit cards. They’ll simply expand that and do away with any system of cash. Then they got you.
Without that number, you will NOT be able to buy or sell or hold any job without it. They will control where and what you buy, where you go to do business, where you travel to, and how you will travel. Simply by doing it with a computer system.
Your purchasing abilities are already tracked through the present system-especially online purchases. They will expand that to ANY purchases since your number will pop up at the place of business where you purchase.
“Mr rintintin, you purchased 20 gallons of gasoline yesterday, you have gone over your limit for gasoline purchases for the month.” “Therefore, you are not allowed to purchase any more gasoline till the end of the month.” “Moreover, you have reached your limit for healthcare services and will no longer be able to use any healthcare services for the next month.” “It also is clear that you have not been to work in the last week, you need to get back to work to maintain your limits to get your credits for such services for the next month.”
