Democrats embrace radical new message: 'Government can function'
yahoo ^ | March 12, 2021 | Alexander Nazaryan

“Hope is on the horizon, and help is on the way,” Chuck Schumer said during a Rose Garden event on Friday celebrating the signing into law of the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief measure that now stands as a major early accomplishment of the Biden administration.

The message delivered by Schumer, Pelosi, Biden and Kamala Harris was: Government is a force for good. Democratic leaders were not only touting their own achievements but trying to restore trust, which has been dropping steadily for years.

“It’s critical to demonstrate government can function — can function and deliver prosperity, security and opportunity for people in this country,” Biden said. The pandemic, Democrats believe, appears to be restoring trust in government.

The new package deviates from its predecessors because it seeks to address ills that predated the pandemic. There is money in the new package to reduce child poverty, help Black farmers and increase the number of people who qualify for health care subsidies.

After the Democrats won both Jan. 5 runoff elections in Georgia, they fashioned a relief bill that suited their priorities without having to make painful compromises. That doesn’t mean every progressive dream was turned into reality: The $15 federal minimum wage, for example, fell out of the American Rescue Plan after a ruling by the Senate parliamentarian.

Overall, though, Democrats were eager to show Americans that they could work quickly and efficiently to shore up the economy and achieve what they consider important social goals.

“Promise made, promise fulfilled,” Pelosi said. The message from her and Schumer was clear: When Democrats are in charge, things get done.

The party reassured Americans that it was singularly focused on rescuing the economy and ending the coronavirus pandemic.

“Help is here, and we will not stop working for you,” Biden said.

Obama did the same thing in 2009, shoveling money to his friends.

We got prosperity, security and opportunity from Trump.

Mass immigration pushed by the Democrats brought the virus here and destroyed all that with the help of...the Democrats.

Now they say they’re saving us from...them.

Got it.

The message delivered by Schumer, Pelosi, Biden and Kamala:

" Government is a force for good."

According to the the Declaration of Independence if a government becomes tyrannous, the people have the right to overthrow it and replace it with a government more responsible to the inalienable, God-given rights of human beings.

The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.”

So delusional on so many levels.

Hard work in the context of the Free Market Economy are what "deliver" prosperity. The last entity I would expect to do that is the State.

The pandemic, Democrats believe, appears to be restoring trust in government.

Laughable!

Idiots!   Fecal matter can function too.   We all call it fertilizer.

It reminds me of the old farmer that realized what "government service" was really all about when he considered that his bull is there on the farm to "service" his heifers.

Media gas lighting on a large scale. This piece is simply democrat propaganda.

“The pandemic, Democrats believe, appears to be restoring trust in government.”

Are their people that believe that?
