I wish Biden would intensify efforts to raise the minimum wage, or intensify efforts to slow or stop housing scarcity, or intensify efforts to ban AR-15’s (which he could accomplish himself if he wanted), but no, he’s intensifying efforts to dump more of our money into another country’s war.
The neglect of our own people never fucking ends.
He (and more importantly, the republicans that keep blocking these) can do both
And they also do neither.
Incidentally the same people blocking the aid are generally the people blocking increases to minimum wage or gun bans. I don’t know if they’re the same people who mess with the housing market though.
A Democratic Senator introduced a bill that would stop hedge funds from buying and owning single family homes. But Republicans won’t pass it.
I’m past giving Democrats credit for writing bills.
They have the presidency and two years of a Congressional majority. We got conservative rule anyway, and they deserve credit for it.
They’ve been out for 40 years.
It’s why the minimum wage has been 7 bucks for 15 years and our housing supply is being bought up by venture capitalists to generate an artificial scarcity, and the big priority isn’t our people, it’s finding excuses to dump more public money into another country’s war.
