Biden on Track To Do Something No Other President Achieved

Trump would turn it around the opposite way and probably beat Reagan's increase.

 

Biden as a president has done a good job. Got a lot of things passed. Stock market is up. Jobs are doing good. Inflation is a up a bunch, but it is up everywhere around the world. Inflation is not like just an American thing. Didn't do crazy things. Listened to his advisors. Crazy he is painted so terribly. He got balanced billing law passed which helps a lot of people.

 

He fixed the mess from the previous administration - mismanagement of the pandemic, weakened bonds and alliances with our allies, the horrible agreement with the Taliban, restored the integrity of an independent DOJ, united alliances against an openly aggressive Putin's Russia, ...

He accomplished several essential things for the long-term: The CHIPS Act, infrastructure bill, and the IRA - including finally enabling the government to negotiate drug prices with pharmaceutical companies, withdrawing from Afghanistan, and managing a great economic recovery from COVID - the best in the world.

He executed poorly on several fronts - mismanaging the withdrawal from Afghanistan, establishing no real guardrails against Palestinian suffering due to the Israeli-Gaza war, poor communication with the public...

He failed in some areas - not foreseeing the pent-up demand at the border crossings, pushing too much money into the system (contributing to inflation), and doing nothing about the housing crisis (though this predates him since the housing bust), failing to unite a divided country, ...

It's been a mixed bag, but his long-term accomplishments and fixing the mess left by the previous administration outweigh his failures. I, again, think the 3 bills he passed with be great for the nation long term. He did his job, and it's time to move on to someone with different ideas for the new challenges - and there are plenty of them, from AI technology to continuing divisiveness and a state that's shown to be very vulnerable to outside influence, big power, and $$ manipulation.

 

Biden’s biggest failure was his inability to inspire the country, if you even consider that to be part of the job. He was a sub par to middlin orator in 2020, and completely fell apart in 2024.

For people who pay attention to results, his presidency delivered a ton. Maybe one of the most in my lifetime … in terms of passing bills that will benefit the country for decades. He deserved a second term based on results. But even more so, he deserved to step down based on his decline.

Sadly, an enormous part of the country is unwilling or unable to focus on results. So here we are.

 

Imo he is awesome. Whatever happened with inflation, we are back to normal. Withdrawal from Afghanistan in procedure was bad, but we are finally out of there.

The border is his only shortcoming in a sense of it's a problem left for the next administration but there was a deal.

Bottom line as you know is the economy is the envy of everyone else

 

So why did you clowns kick him to the curbs with that coup? LMAO

 

Inflation spiked but has since dropped quite a bit. Prices though haven’t returned to pre pandemic levels in many products though.

I don’t know if this is true for much of the country but I’ve been paying for gas at levels before the pandemic, under $3 / gallon. Recently.

 

If the cost of groceries and rent is still way higher in proportion to wages, it still stings the little guy.

That's why most people don't feel the effects of this "great" economy.

 

It’s funny when you’re more invested in a ghoul that can’t string together a sentence and has led to the greatest deficit and defaulting on payments of all time rather than the country itself

guess you got tired of your burner acct astros123

 

Yes costs are higher in certain sectors. That doesn’t mean everything costs more.

I would never claim this economy is perfect but it’s not nearly as bad as many want to portray it is.

 

It's bad if you rent and make minimum wage.
