Where in the world is Joe Biden?
By Thomas Lifson
One place Joe Biden is not this weekend: Iowa, where 19 other members of the Democrats’ field is campaigning at a series of “big†(for Iowa Democrats) events. Bloomberg:
As campaigning accelerates leading up to the first debates later this month, 19 of the 23 Democrats actively running to challenge President Donald Trump will be in the state, the biggest assembly of 2020 candidates to date.
The marquee event is the Iowa Democratic Party Hall of Fame dinner on Sunday, where they’ll be making five-minute pitches to influential local party officials. Missing from the group is Joe Biden, the current front-runner who is waiting until Tuesday to campaign in Iowa.
The dinner will let each candidate showcase the support and infrastructure they’ve built in Iowa, where caucuses in February launch the months-long, 50-state series of contests leading to the party’s nomination. Since the beginning of the year, hopefuls have collectively visited Iowa about 200 times, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
“All these folks want to have the chance of trying to create favorable optics,†said Dennis Goldford, professor of political science at Drake University. “How can they best use the enthusiasm of their supporters to propel them to be the focus of attention?â€

How John Hickenlooper would address the economy

Former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, a small businessman who opened brewpubs in Denver and across the Midwest, is unveiling his plan to boost the U.S. economy by embracing what he sees as the power of private industry.
“We can make the private sector into a stronger engine of opportunity and innovation, rather than having it continue as America’s favorite political piñata,†he will say Friday in a speech in New Hampshire.
How would it work?
Hickenlooper proposes raising the minimum wage to at least $15 an hour. He also wants to tackle college affordability by cutting the federal interest rate on all student loans to 2.5 percent. Additionally, he pledges to make community college free and “launch the biggest expansion of apprenticeships and training in American history.â€
His proposal calls for creation of an “entrepreneurship tax credit†for small businesses and a “micro-enterprise tax credit†for businesses with five employees or fewer and up to $10 million in revenue. He also calls for creating incentives for startups “in rural and distressed areas,†doubling the federal earned income tax credit, taxing capital gains at the same rate as ordinary income and ending tax loopholes for “very wealthy†Americans who pass portfolios to their children.
COUNTDOWN TO 2020

oadband service. He would pay for it in part by a partial repeal of the tax cuts that Trump signed into law in 2017.
Hickenlooper pushes for “an expansion of open and fair trade†and stronger anti-trust enforcement.
The plan includes “universal†health care while maintaining private insurance for those satisfied with employer-provided coverage.
What have other Democrats proposed?
Elements of Hickenlooper’s plan overlap with other candidates' proposals. Several others, for example, have endorsed the idea of a $15 minimum wage.
Elizabeth Warren
Bernie Sanders
But Hickenlooper, a centrist, stands in stark contrast to candidates such as Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who are offering more dramatic proposals to achieve economic equality. Sanders, for example, has proposed a federal job guarantee.
Hickenlooper makes clear he opposes ideas like the job guarantee and a government takeover of health insurance, which Sanders and other supporters of Medicare for All have backed.
“These are certainly big ideas; they are also not good ideas,†Hickenlooper says. “They would bloat the federal government. They would massively raise taxes. They would depress economic growth. And let me assure you, in the end, they would hurt working people.â€
