It seems more likely than not that Biden is going to be the president. I'm just curious what policies do you want to see put in place or what changes do you see as a positive that are going to take place?

Not much will happen with R Senate... But if they can work together...

Fix the structural problems with the American economy. The real economy, not the stock market.

How?

We need the wealth spread more evenly, and actually have a coordinated manufacturing strategy.

Rebalance the tax cuts to favor working class and middle class, not rich fuckers who end up paying nothing (eg Trump.)

Get some extra revenue from above, then embrace deficit spending to aggressively build our infrastructure and education systems. That's jobs here, across all states.

We need to be able to compete with/outcompete China, and poor, dumb people with shitty roads won't cut it.

Pour tons of money into research (like we did in 20th century), focusing on applied science and engineering. Special focus on green tech, technology and Industry 4.0.

Fund useful Public/Private partnerships to commercialize above technology, and ensuring benefits are realized within our borders.

Stop the useless graft and tax giveaways to big companies hoping they'll do the hard work for us (eg Foxconn deals.)

Sadly, I think our govt system is too partisan and corrupt to be able to do this anymore and we'll diminish as a country.

More likely a continuation of Bush and Obama: bail out the rich if needed, keep them happy through deregulation, and use a combination of neoliberalism and neoconservatism.
