You guys are now in a great position to fix things. I really hope it goes well. The land of the great, I hope also turns into the land of the under privileged, the land of the ethnic minorities, the forgotten vets. Even if it does cost you a few more dollars in tax. Your people are worth it.

Most of us, politicians and regular folk alike, generally agree on where we want to be, whether it's a strong economy, or reduction/elimination of poverty, or a well-equipped and well-trained military...we just differ on how to get there. :)

It's a slow walk forward, but we'll make some progress. Today feels very...optimistic. ☀️

I hope so, too. Trump left us in a pretty deep hole we now have to struggle to get out of. It all depends on whether we American citizens are willing to make the hard choices to get out of the hole, or decide to keep digging. The biggest challenge is to get people to accept that we can't have tax cuts and increase spending at the same time. Taxes were not that bad under Bill Clinton, when we had a balanced budget. And, sacrifices were made on both sides of the isle. To me, that is fiscal conservatism. Supply-side (trickle-down) economics, favored by Reagan, Bush 2 and Trump isn't going to get us back of sound fiscal footing. You can't have your cake, and eat it, too.

That's part of my fear. there's a certain percentage that legitimately feels like something was stolen from them, and will stop at nothing to make others pay for their perceived slight. I fear it will get worse before it gets better. I hope I'm wrong.
 
President Biden's inaugural address was terrific. I particularly like this part:

In another January in Washington, on New Year’s Day in 1863, Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. When he put pen to paper, the president said — and I quote — “If my name ever goes down into history, it will be for this act, and my whole soul is in it.”

My whole soul is in it. Today, on this January day, my whole soul is in this: Bringing America together, uniting our people and uniting our nation.

This is a very difficult time for the country, a lot of work ahead, and his inauguration speech more than matched the moment. That was a helluva speech.
