The Need for Support more than Stimulus
A week ago, President-elect Biden hurt his foot while playing with Major, one of his rather rambunctious dogs. Following a CT scan of his injury, it was determined that he had suffered a hairline fracture and his doctor suggested an orthopedic boot. While it is, no doubt, an awkward piece of footwear, the course of treatment was not controversial. If, however, his doctor had told him to just walk it off and instead prescribed caffeine and steroids, his competence would have been called into question. Mr. Biden was clearly injured and in need of support, rather than tired and in need of stimulus.
