Dr. Jill Biden takes a turn on The View to give her reason why we should vote for her husband. The panel as we can tell from the first question seems to be in agreement that President Biden is doing a great job. No matter what you measure, the country right now is in about as good of shape as it ever has been. Some places still need work, but for gawd’s sake we want someone competent to do that work.

As Joy Behar notes – Biden is “competent.” When you are President, that is quite an endorsement. Especially coming on the heels of the president who is overwhelmingly considered to be the worst president ever in America. The only thing accomplished in the Trump administration was to put the government another $3 Trillion in debt with tax cuts for the rich.

The numbers that really point out the incompetence of Trump are the job losses that totaled nearly 3 million and those who died unnecessarily due to covid. Had Trump not dismantled Obama’s early warning system, had Trump not used covid as a weapon to kill his opposition as many as 1/2 to 1 million may have been spared.

The above are just Trump’s grossest incompetencies. Name any segment of the government or society and Trump was the most incompetent president ever in that area. Bleach for that covid, sir?

As we celebrate graduations at this time of year, I can imagine that those who will be going to university or stepping into the world of work or starting a business if they seriously consider Trump’s record there is no way they would want such an incompetent fool in charge again.

In my spare time I have been jotting down the issues that 15 to 30 year olds should really concerned about. Then they should do a reality check on which president has a better record on the issue. Both Trump and Biden have had a turn at bat as president so this should be a comparison that should be able to be done.

Here is my short list. In my comparison, Biden wins hands down:

• SS – raising age requirements and privatizing Medicare (Mom and Dad moving in?)
• Climate change – hotter, wetter in spots and desertification in others – forest fires and much stronger storms
• International treaties especially NATO
• Medical care insurance cut backs 
• Money being concentrated in few hands – labor union support or undermining them
• Education cutbacks in K-12. Privatizing public schools and cutting funding – Cost of college skyrockets
• All sorts of get rich quick schemes
• No longer a nation of laws – rich get breaks
• Justice system broken
• Wealth gap wider than ever 
• Racism really bad – stereotyping 
• Ability to vote being compromised
• Will democracy survive
• Corruption in government
• Inflation – If Trump is president it will get worse or be stopped by a massive recession
• Jobs – Biden +15,000,000 – Trump -3,000,000
• Abortion legalized and birth control legal and available

I am sure there are many more topics. It seems to me that the country needs competent leaderships it has now. When we assess Trump’s record in any of these areas. What he did in his turn was scary and he is promising to be much worse if he gets another chance.

They each have a track record. Use real data and compare them.
