Biden is full of solutions looking for problems

Biden's speech, much like his recovery plan, whistled past the realities of today's modern economy. No, the nation is not suffering from a lack of "green" buildings to build, as much as bureaucrats might think it is. There is no jobs problem — there is a problem with coronavirus-related restrictions on business. End those, and what few pockets of unemployment remain (Hawaii and California) will rapidly mend. "Buy American?" Biden went on about this, yet it's one of the biggest job-killing scams in our national history of political demagoguery. Even President Barack Obama knew better than that. No, "Buy American" does not create jobs. To whatever extent it succeeds (mercifully, it is ineffective), it threatens broader, job-creating markets upon which far more American workers depend for their livelihood than the paltry number of jobs we could preserve by making sure all the paper clips government buys were bent by Americans. Biden also stated that because labor unions created the middle class, we should pass a law (the PRO Act) that will help them survive extinction. This is a fallacy, and a hilarious one. We still use and value concrete — does that mean we should bring back the Roman Empire that created it?
