Yet another thing that Biden somehow managed to fail us on.
Did he do anything to protect our rights or our freedoms or was it all just incremental budget bills to fund projects that are going to keep their billionaire donors happy?
Edit:
Just a few American services he refused to utilize and fix.
Wanna talk about other broken promises?
Name one permanent thing that he did that still benefits the majority of Americans today.
How do you remember to breathe when you're this breathtakingly stupid?
Name a single permanent policy that he put in place that benefits the majority of Americans today.
nothing is permanent if you put a dictator into power who disregards all the checks and balances sweaty
Love the misspelling of "sweety"
Love the implication the Democrats are powerless.
Love the implications that Joe Biden couldn't have done anything more than what he did.
Still miss the challenge though which was name on permanent policy the Democrats have done that Joe Biden has done. I can name a few from Obama that did have a permanent impact on people but it's kind of funny I'm drawing at blank Joe Biden.
It's almost like his administration was entirely political theater designed to seemingly capitulate to populist ideas will not really giving them anything.
Lowering ACA premiums and increasing tax credits and increasing taxes on corporations may be "political theater" to you, but it's real to all the people affected. I would love to see Dems start doing much more of Sander's programs, but its nonsense that just because Biden didn't do a huge thing that (1) happen to affect you personally instead of other people, and (2) happen to be something that affected you AND you were paying attention to (e.g. tax credits), that he didn't do anything.
Lowering the ACA premiums and increasing some tax credits that could be easily Dodge by corporations was quite the accomplishment of one of the most Progressive administrations in American history.
I don't know why people are so upset about Universal Health Care or the government option that the Democrats were being on about during the 2020 election.
It's not like a Democrats allowed all of the protections protecting children from Child property to expire in 2022.
Certainly not like the tax credit was a feature of the Trump Administration that Biden then enhanced.
Doesn't address the very real problems with these services that every day Americans rely on
WTFLOL. How the fuck are corporations going to take away your legal tax credits? Do you even know how tax credits work?
So, let me make sure I got this right. Biden lowered the ACA premiums not by forcing the insurance companies to charge a lower premium, but by giving those insurance companies and the people they represent tax credits and from allowing those who take advantage of the ACA to take less from their income tax.
Yeah, this definitely represents the government option that he used to run on in 2020. Definitely helped a bunch of people who already couldn't afford healthcare. Im sure this did alleviate some pressure, but it doesnt affect the majority of people and, these tax credits are set to expire so it'll end up being a wash.
Nice, a problem that can be helped with electoral politics, not just on the federal level, but that can be done on the state and on the local too. So you do get the issues you just chose to no show because you are privileged and protected from the brunt of the punishment.
Yep voted in a blue wave federally and locally and this was the reward :)
Good show for electoralism
Some clarification....
The president does not make permanent policy. Congress makes permanent policies.
Asking for the permanent policies Biden enacted as president is like asking for the length of the 4th side of a triangle.
Yeah, I wonder why it's called the FDR reformations and not the reformations of the 73rd Congress. 🙄
FDR used his bully pulpit and leveraged the wide availability of radio to have his "Fireside Chats" and speak directly to American voters. FDR only signed legislation and carried it out, he did not write it. The president does not make permanent policy, he carries out the policies set by Congress.
Just so we're clear, you're explaining that FDR got those things through by taking actions that he was able to do, and that if he hadn't, we would not have gotten.
IE he is directly responsible for the permanent creation of multiple agencies which would not have been created without his foresight, plan, or public push.
What was that about him carrying out plans by Congress when he constantly had to wield public authority to make Congress do the things they were supposed to do? You just not gonna mention the fact that he had to threaten the supreme court multiple times to stack the court or remove justices in order to get them to play along with his reformations?
Besides, the democrats haven't done anything like that in around 79 years which goes to my point that they aren't doing anything.
