A man with power and without a future, like 78-year-old President Joe Biden, should build his own mythology with a privileged place in history.

Biden is no longer a politician, he is a statesman. He should not worry about being reelected; instead, he should think about history. That’s why he invokes the African secret of immortality, firmly rooting himself in the collective unconsciousness of those who will survive him, propelling large infrastructure and human development projects.

His plan to jump-start the economy will cost more than $3 trillion. With almost $2 trillion in spending approved already, he will have allotted $5 trillion by the end of his first 100 days. The Democrats are finally using the power that the country has given them in the voting booth, without seeking the “approval” of Republicans for their truly progressive plans.

By raising taxes on the rich to support the poor, the government will be able to redistribute the country’s wealth.

Biden is forging his place in history, like a true revolutionary.

Un hombre con poder y sin futuro, como el presidente Joe Biden de 78 años, debe construir su propia mitología y un espacio privilegiado en la historia.

Biden ya no puede ser político, sino estadista, no debe preocuparle la reelección, sino la historia. Por eso apela al secreto africano de la inmortalidad, plantarse en el inconsciente colectivo de quienes le sobrevivan, impulsando grandes proyectos de obras públicas y desarrollo humano.

Su plan de reactivación económica superará los $3 trillones, con los casi $2 ya aprobados, pasará de $5 trillones en sus primeros 100 días. Los demócratas finalmente usarán el poder que el pueblo les dio en las urnas, sin buscar la “aprobación” de los republicanos para impulsar una agenda verdaderamente progresista.

Aumentándoles impuestos a los ricos, para apoyar a los pobres, el Estado redistribuirá las riquezas de la nación.

Biden fabrica su sitial histórico, como un auténtico revolucionario.
