Hello cawacko,
That is a very good question. I can only guess it is because changes cause uncertainty, and the word of the USA needs to stand for something. We lose credibility if we keep flip-flopping.
That was the altruistic answer.
The more suspicious answer would be that Biden is in the pocket of big bankers and always has been. That is why he was not my first choice for Dem candidate. But he is our Democratic president, so he has my support. Better him than anything the Trump party has to offer. And, of course, that whole party has gone bonkers and become so racist and ugly. Too bad the old Republican party has so little support and has been largely dismantled, btw.
Do you support taxing billionaires more? I do. It's the right thing to do.
Why would we want to continue bad policy in the name of preventing uncertainty? I’m not sure why bankers want tariffs. It’s always been unions and blue collar types who support tariffs. It’s free traders and people who supposedly don’t care about the working guy who are against them.
(And either you support a policy or don’t regardless of who implements it. It’s having a modicum of principle.)
