    Biden did more to help the working class than any president in my lifetime. People are too stupid or don’t pay enough attention to realize it.

        the IRA includes long term tax benefits for basically everybody, most impact-fully, people in the lower income brackets. Both the CHIPS act and infra bill have provided for a lot of jobs. He didn’t kill oil, like trump seems to pretend happened. Im sure there are a number of other things i’m missing as well. Biden was an absolute legislation machine.

        Notably, the economy is doing very well right now. Granted the perception tends to lag, that’s natural.

        From a 2 second google search: Biden’s policies that have helped the working class include the American Rescue Plan, which provided direct financial aid and extended unemployment benefits, and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which aims to create good-paying jobs. Additionally, efforts to strengthen unions and raise the minimum wage have also supported working-class Americans.

      Nope. He can do whatever and inflation erases all that and then some.

      Take your statistics home and use them to line your hamster cage.

        Ah yes, the inflation that started because of the pandemic, worldwide, all Bidens fault. Good job, you solved inflation!

          If that was the case, address it. Somehow Biden et.al., thought ignoring it was fine and the people would understand.

          That turned out to be not the case.

          • Smart=knowing what caused it.
          • Dumb=not knowing how to react.

            He did address it. Inflation has returned to pre pandemic levels. If you bothered to look into it instead of repeating bullshit “facts”, you’d know that.

            The problem? Americans don’t “feel” like it is better. “But prices didn’t go down!” No shit that’s not how inflation works.

              So he didn’t make people feel inflation was behind them because prices aren’t down and your answer is “no shit? That’s not how inflation works?”

              Because stop me if I’m wrong, but when prices go up and salaries don’t, then that’s having a lasting impact. And if you haven’t done anything about that lasting impact, you haven’t done enough, or convinced enough.

              Anybody saying no shit too bad you’re too stupid to understand this deserves what they get.

                Apparently none of the facts here can stop you from just oozing your feelings. So We don’t really see the point in trying.

                Wait, you’re mad you didn’t get a good raise for a few years, and that’s somehow Biden’s fault?

                Dude, greedy business owners keeping as much profit for themselves happens under every president.

                I think you are confused as to what POTUS does. POTUS doesn’t set or approve your payroll.

                Conservatives be all “market” this and “market” that. The markets biggest influences are on costs of goods and costs of labor, and when the market does what the markets gonna do, that’s the Democrats fault? Motherfucker, do you understand the society we live in?

                <.< You’re literally bitching that the thing that happened didn’t happen. I don’t have the answer you’re looking for, because it’s predicated on the thing that happened having not happened.

                The lifeguard can’t save your son from drowning, he already did. I don’t know how else to say this.

          Intellectual says he did a great job. Everybody on the couch with a Duff beer stand and bow before the great truth!
