Joe Biden Credits Elizabeth Warren With Helping Craft His New Economic Plan

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former Vice President Joe Biden is explicitly crediting Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) with helping to develop his new plan for rebuilding the nation’s economy, a sign that Warren has been able to influence the policy positions of the presumptive Democratic nominee as his campaign continues to vet potential vice presidential picks.

“I am grateful to so many ― including my friend Elizabeth Warren, labor unions, and other progressive partners for their help in putting together this bold new set of policies aimed at healing our economy and ensuring good, dignified jobs for American workers,” Biden wrote in a fundraising email for the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, a Warren-allied progressive group, that is scheduled to go out later Friday. “In the face of Donald Trump’s egregious mismanagement of the public health and economic crises, there has never been a more important moment to reinvest in good-paying jobs for workers across our country.”

Biden’s plan, which he began to roll out Thursday during a speech near his hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania, includes $400 billion of federal procurement spending on products manufactured in the United States and a $300 billion investment in government research on electric vehicles and other advanced technologies. The Biden campaign says the spending will help create more than 5 million new jobs.

Elements of the plan are similar to proposals Warren released during the primary, including pushes to increase government procurement of American-made products. But while Warren aimed to spend $150 billion a year on clean energy technology, Biden plans to spend $300 billion on a wider variety of products.

Take big strides not small steps.

3. Elizabeth was my first choice.

I am so happy to see that she is having an influence on policy discussion.

Joe will have a lot of help, and that's a good thing.

4. Is this the plan Trump said Biden stole from him?

So glad to see Warren's influence on Biden. Now who is he going to choose as his V.P.?

5. Joe really does know the best people.

6. And we won't have to drink bleach...

7. This is why Joe will be a good President.

Like Obama, he will surround himself with qualified people who actually know what they are talking about, and he will give credit where credit is due. The Biden administration will be a team effort. It won't be one guy saying and doing stupid things while everyone else pretends that his ideas are brilliant.

8. Biden's presidency could be as historic and consequential as FDR's first term

Should he choose to capitalize on a once in a century opportunity - the momentum and the people will be with him. He will have to act quickly, as the political will of Congress will likely dissipate as the 2022 midterms draw near.

9. That is absolutely true. And I hope it is. We need

it — now more than ever since FDR in the 30s and certainly I’m 69 year lifetime.
