POTUS Joe Biden, paid a visit to the Golden(somewhat muddy)State this week to observe storm damage in many locations. Gavin and Joe & Co. went to the Santa Cruz area to see up close what happens when a winter storm and monster surf meets the coastal areas where structures are built just behind the beaches. Hmmmmm. What could happen?
So the media types get some photo ops of Gavin and Joe surveying damaged buildings, mud in the streets, piles of rubble, municipal workers clearing roads and making temporary repairs as local residents call their insurance agents to confirm that their policies don't cover any of the damages. What else is new?
Joe and Gavin, Democrats both, get to look like caring executives. Joe with his aviator glasses and Gavin with his slicked-back'do, making nice for the cameras. Really, they're talking football. Or maybe the price of a gallon of gas. But mayors and city managers know that this visit will be followed up with declarations of financial support to help. Not exactly blank checks, but some meaningful loans with attractive rates. Ha.
Happy New Year
