I ran across this list about three weeks ago on dailykos.com. Kos has a policy of letting folks use their work as long as they get the credit. More than happy to do that. This list compiled by Good News Roundup was posted to remind people that Joe Biden was able to accomplish one hell of a lot of very progressive policy while senate Republicans did all they could to stop Biden from doing anything.
While the radical right in the US Senate has tried to stop Biden, (don’t blame it all on Manchin. If there was one or two Republicans with a spine, Manchin wouldn’t matter.) the extreme right corporate media has been pounding daily for months on inflation trying to drive Biden’s numbers down. It is an all. Out attack from the right on Biden.
Yet gas prices are going down, inflation is cooling some and despite the Fed trying to steer us into a recession, job numbers still look good. As you peruse through the list below you can easily note that in less than two years Joe Biden has done a pretty good job steering the ship of state.
So let’s get him some more Democrats in the House and the Senate and make Joe Manchin and Mitch McConnell (and Chuck Grassley) irrelevant as America surges under Biden! {Note: each following one liner should be a link to a tweet on the subject- ed.}
