President Joe Biden delivers his State of the Union speech to a joint session of Congress at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, Feb. 7, 2023, as Vice President Kamala Harris and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy look on.
In a leaked 2018 voicemail message, Joe Biden told his son Hunter: “It’s Dad. I called to tell you I love you. I love you more than the whole world, pal. You got to get some help. I don’t know what to do. I know you don’t, either, but I am here no matter what you need, no matter what you need, I love you.”
Deaths of despair are just one facet of our country’s dysfunction. With mediocre fourth-grade reading scores, unacceptable high school graduation rates and appalling levels of child poverty, they constitute the four vital signs for a patient who is not doing well — and we must address these underlying pathologies if we are to be competitive with China and the world.
Affluent Americans are often insulated from the crisis in working-class America, but Biden’s understanding comes through with his focus on the word “dignity.” I doubt that we’ll see progress this year on expanded child tax credits to cut child poverty in half, or on national pre-K or child care. Conservatives dismiss these as emblems of government overreach.
