“To the victor belong the spoils.” some obscure politician once said when people complained about jobs and perks going to Democrats when Andrew Jackson was elected. The Civil Service Act ended the practice of handing out government jobs to the party that won the election, but Joe Biden is trying to revive it in a different form.
Look carefully at the executive orders Biden is issuing. It’s no accident that subsidies, spending, and incentives are overwhelmingly benefitting blue states and Democratic constituencies.
Meanwhile, the flow of dollars is drying up for red states. After saying he would be president “for all Americans,” Biden is doing a pretty good impersonation of a partisan hack who favors Democrats.
