Biden wrests control of Trump's spotlight
(CNN) Joe Biden's crisis presidency effectively began Thursday evening, when he urged Americans to mobilize behind a $1.9 trillion plan to end the pandemic, save the economy and revive the weakened heartbeat of a nation.
"The crisis of deep human suffering is in plain sight. There is no time to waste. We have to act and we have to act now."

Key items contained in Biden's American Rescue Plan:
Beefed-up stimulus payments!!!- raise payments from $600 to $2,000
Enhanced unemployment aid!!!- raises the $300/week to $400/week
Such aggressive proposals are more than an attempt to fix the poorly planned and woefully executed Trump administration approach to the pandemic, which put the onus on states to stem the spread of the virus. They represent a recognition that the nation's future and the success of his presidency in its crucial first few months depend on urgent action and funding.

No new commander in chief since Franklin Roosevelt in 1933, has faced a tougher baptism of crises than Biden. His inheritance dwarfs the alarming scenarios that confronted President Barack Obama, whom he served as vice president, in 2009.

A Guy I work with who like me has been out of work since March is losing his Home, Trump Relief that ended in July other than the 300 for 5 weeks that he took the money for Small Business and gave to us as lost wages, did nothing from July to January to help People,all he did all year was complain about election for 8 months before it happened,guess he knew he was going to lose.So no help and the lies about the virus and in the end doing nothing but lying about election and trying to do anything he could as we saw last week to stay in WH which included 5 people dying and him Golfing after election and taking any press bites to announce how he won in a landslide and they took it from him by cheating,52 or more Judges even ones he put in Court all threw out his claims as he did not have and does not exist any proof to his false claims.
What he has done or will do as he leaves office as the most unpopular President ever and the only one to be Impeach 2 times with his approval rating the lowest of all time,that is the Legacy he will leave as he orders a 21 Gun Salute and Red Carpet to try to disguise his leaving in disgrace.Glad to see him go, cost me a year of work and plans I had for this year.
