The Biden administration is in a bit of a pickle. They are trying to push this new trillion dollar infrastructure program to get the economy going again. But these new lower unemployment numbers take away the need for another massive stimulus package.

Unemployment numbers will go way down when idiot governors allow businesses to open. Open businesses will create more revenue and the economy would recover on it's own without spending trillions more we can never pay back. The only "pickle" is the fact that we have economic amateurs throwing our children's futures in the toilet.
I really believe that President Biden had done a better job going hard left with legislation and executive orders than if Senators Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren had won. Moderate Democrats wouldn't have passed their agenda.

Biden does a "hold my beer" policy with New York.
From the NYTimes.com
In essence, U.S. taxpayers are subsidizing New York’s ability to pay illegal aliens $15,000 each. Let that sink in…
New York Times – […] after a sweeping move by lawmakers this week, New York will now offer one-time payments of up to $15,600 to undocumented immigrants who lost work during the pandemic. The effort — a $2.1 billion fund in the state budget — is by far the biggest of its kind in the country and a sign of the state’s shift toward policies championed by progressive Democrats.
Here is another beauty in Joe's Covid relief bill.
All told, the Ivy League will receive $168 million in coronavirus bailout funds in this round of "relief" alone. The endowment of each Ivy League school has grown over the past year, with the exception of Cornell's, and the schools do not pay taxes on investment gains their endowments earn, making the need for government, read taxpayer, assistance even less plausible.
During the initial round of CARES Act funding, some top universities — including Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Penn, and Stanford (one of the top five wealthiest private schools in the nation) — withdrew their applications for emergency funding in the face of public chiding by former President Trump, then-Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, and others. But by December, negative press scrutiny had passed, and elite academic institutions were once again gratefully accepting taxpayer subsidies.
The Swamp is rising.
But truth be told it is only money, even if it is taxpayer money.

Biden Restores POW/MIA Flag to Its Rightful Place at the White House After Trump Removed It
Press Secretary Jen Psaki announced, “In keeping with the President and First Lady’s commitment to honor the sacrifices of all of those who serve including veterans, their families, caregivers, and survivors, the President, and the First Lady have restored the POW/MIA flag to its original location on top of the White House residence.”
Trump took the flag down from on top of the White House residence and moved it to a location out of public view on the South Lawn.
Reuters reported in September 2020, “A decision by the Trump administration earlier this year to move the flag honoring missing war veterans from a prominent position atop the White House to a less visible spot on the South Lawn has angered some veterans and lawmakers, who see it as disrespectful and potentially illegal.”
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken took to the Sunday talk shows to put Moscow on notice after Ukraine's leaders have alleged a nearly unprecedented Russian forces build-up along the border... bigger than any time since 2014.
Blinken said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that Russia faces "consequences" if at any point it acts "aggressively" towards Ukraine:
"I have to tell you I have real concerns about Russia's actions on the borders of Ukraine," Blinken warned. "That's why we're in very close contact, in close coordination, with our allies and partners in Europe. All of us share that concern."
