They have no sustainable "economic plan" other than throwing a bunch of imaginary money at those entities who helped get them elected, and further disabling people through more government handouts, mandates, and shutdowns.
If this administration has done anything, it been to prove how the Democrat Party has become unsustainable. They have become an old, obsolete dinosaur of a party which has no new solutions, no plans, no answers, and no clue as to how to allow a vibrant, growing economy. Their only strategy is to print more money, go farther into debt, then tell you they can fix everything by "taxing the rich." In one short year, the Biden Administration has proven how socialism and democracy are incompatible. "Democratic Socialism" is a fallacy: An animal as mythological as the Loch Ness Monster or Bigfoot.
"This emphasis on the elimination of private property is important because candidates like Ocasio-Cortez, or Bernie Sanders before her, continuously misrepresent what a socialist system is. By hailing certain Nordic countries as successful examples of democratic socialism, these candidates mislead people about the true nature of both socialism and capitalism. The fact is that the very countries Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez praise have market-capitalist economies.
Not only are they market-capitalist systems, several of them rank higher than the U.S. in economic freedom comparisons. While most of these countries have higher taxes and spend more on social services than does the United States, those are not the measures of whether or not a system is capitalist or socialist. Every single one of these nations’ economies functions through markets which allow individual ownership and voluntary exchange."
