Biden’s actions to ease housing costs

Biden’s plan to lower drug costs.

Biden’s actions to increase minimum wage. Here’s one of him telling UAW members to fight for a 40% increase.

Companies were in trouble, now they’re doing incredibly well. And guess what? You should be doing incredibly well, too

Just because he isn’t stringing words together to say your second paragraph verbatim doesn’t mean he’s not taking steps to do something about it. And the links above took literally 2 minutes of searching “Biden addresses X”

Did you see Speff reply below? They took the time to research and share information for you. Did you read it? Will you acknowledge them?

Also, what does your comment have to do with this post? Maybe share it somewhere relevant like the million negative posts about inflation, housing, etc.

This is a win. We take wins. If we don’t, life is pointless and we’re just angry and feel ineffective. And when we feel ineffective, we try less, not more.

Winning begets winning. Not suggesting cheerleading. Suggesting not demoralizing those who are inspired by the win.

That’s because he doesn’t parade it to the world. And, frankly, he needs to because he’s up against a guy whose smallest achievement is touted as the greatest thing anyone has ever done.

I’d say that’s less a small achievement and more a major shame considering how he reacted to the guy who said he had small hands.

On the other hand, he says things like he invented the terms “fake news” and “priming the pump” and brags about it. He obviously didn’t even invent those terms.

Meanwhile, Biden isn’t even saying that he literally gave millions of people (there are over 4 million federal employees) the largest raise in years. He barely touted the fact that he just pardoned thousands of people with criminal records for using cannabis on federal land and D.C. And he should be mentioning his infrastructure bill at every single opportunity.

Instead he’s going for this “Bidenomics” nonsense. People don’t know what that means. “I gave millions of people raises and pardoned thousands of people whose only crime was smoking a joint?” People know what that means. People certainly know what “I created a shit ton of jobs with my infrastructure bill and also started fixing our broken infrastructure” means too.

When he takes credit for the economic growth nobody thought could happen and avoiding a recession etc he gets the “REAL people aren’t feeling it” dismissal.

When Trump takes credit for the economic growth everyone expected to continue after Obama, and avoids blame for the recession that happened during his presidency because of Covid, everyone believes he did a great job.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
