Joe Biden, FDR’s Second Coming

So Joe Biden wants to be “the next FDR,” or so he says. Excellent. Because FDR died before he could finish implementing his platform, which was based on the fact that

“We have come to a clear realization of the fact that true individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. “Necessitous men are not free men.” People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.”

So, Joe, I’ll be looking forward to your unveiling of your platform that includes FDR’s Economic Bill of Rights. That these things should be guaranteed:

• A federal job guarantee
• A living wage
• Guaranteed decent housing
• Protection against trusts and monopolies
• Guaranteed health care (Medicare for all)
• Guaranteed quality education (free state college)
• Guaranteed economic security in case of old age, sickness, accident, or unemployment (Universal Basic Income)

I’m waiting. But not gonna hold my breath
