Local Investment: President Joe Biden visits Milwaukee to highlight the success of his economic policies

Posted by | Aug 16, 2023

President Joe Biden traveled to Wisconsin on August 15 to highlight his economic policies in a state critical to his reelection fortunes, just a week before Republicans descend on Milwaukee for the party’s first presidential debate. His arrival in Milwaukee came on the eve of the anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act, major economic legislation that he signed into law with great ceremony – but polls show that most people know little about it or what it does. Wisconsin is among the handful of critical states where President Biden needs to persuade voters that his policies are having a...

There are so many dots on the maps they blur into blobs — each one reflecting trillions of public and private dollars flowing in the U.S. this past year to build thousands of roads, bridges, and manufacturing projects in communities large and small, in states red and blue. They include an electric vehicle “battery belt” of manufacturing stretching from Michigan to Georgia, semiconductor fabrication plants in Arizona, Texas, Ohio, and New York and broadband coming to Appalachia. Taken together, they represent President Joe Biden’s ambitious attempt to use the levers of government to chart a new era of domestic...

Factory jobs in Wisconsin get boost from President Biden’s “Buy America” infrastructure policy

Efforts by the Biden administration have been helping create new factory jobs as part of a push to bring high-speed internet to the whole country, jobs that coincidentally help to back up President Joe Biden’s messaging for the 2024 elections. Vice President Kamala Harris announced on August 3 that up to 200 new manufacturing jobs would be coming to the swing state of Wisconsin. The workers at the Sanmina factory in Kenosha County are to make parts for Nokia that help to connect customers to broadband internet. Nokia’s choice to move production to the U.S. came after an extended...

How “Bidenomics” breaks from the economic theory that failed America’s middle class for decades

In Chicago at the end of June, President Joe Biden gave a historic speech at the Old Post Office Building downtown. In it, he was crystal clear that he has launched a new economic vision for the United States to stand against that of today’s Republicans. As he has said since he took office, he intends to build the economy “from the middle out and the bottom up instead of just the top down.” His vision, he said, “is a fundamental break from the economic theory that has failed America’s middle class for decades now.” That theory is “trickle-down...

When Senate Leader Mitch McConnell rose to announce his vote to acquit Donald Trump of impeachment charges in the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, the Republican assured the public the former president would have his day in court. “He didn’t get away with anything yet — yet,” McConnell vowed. “We have a criminal justice system in this country. We have civil litigation. And former presidents are not immune from being accountable by either one.” But as Trump appeared in court on August 3 on federal charges that he orchestrated an unprecedented effort to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020...

Ukrainian forces are biding time in counteroffensive to thin Russia’s resources before striking

The first phase of Ukraine’s counteroffensive to recapture Russian-occupied territory began weeks ago without fanfare. Apart from claiming that its troops are edging forward, Kyiv has not offered much detail on how it is going. Taking place mostly out of sight of impartial observers, the fighting in eastern and southern Ukraine pits troops equipped with new Western-supplied weapons against Kremlin forces that spent months digging formidable defenses and honing tactics. Here is a look at what is happening after more than 17 months of war: WHAT ARE UKRAINE’S TACTICS? Fighting has intensified at multiple points along the 930-mile front...
