1. The State Of The Union Address Is Coming Up - Biden Should Really Tout The Great Job Numbers.....

and paint the picture of an economy in recovery - which I'm sure he will.

He should also play hardball with the Repugs - saying that there will be no negotiations on the raising of the debt limit and explain to the American People that raising the debt limit is paying the bills on money already spent - much of which is a result of Tr**p's tax breaks for the wealthy.

Biden should go on to say that if the Repugs don't go along with raising the debt limit - that any derailing of the economy is on the shoulders of the Repugs and they are to blame if the we wind up in a recession or worse - a global economic crisis.

Make it very clear to the American People that the Repugs would be the cause of any bad economic calamities. Back them into a corner that forces them to vote to raise the debt limit or else suffer the blame.

He should pat himself on the back and promote the great strides he's made with the current economy and point to the easing of inflation. Tell the Repugs you can't blame me (Joe Biden) and the Dems - if the Repugs don't go along with the raising of the debt limit and our economy crashes - It's on you Repugs!!!
