Biden’s Accomplishments in First Year
Biden passed the American Rescue Plan which gives small businesses a restart package after the pandemic shutdowns, and also gives state and local governments funding to prevent budget shortfalls. Biden got the infrastructure bill passed and every state has billions for roads and bridges and other infrastructures. Biden also expanded wireless broadband to every American!
Biden is addressing the pandemic with science providing PPE, vaccinations and testing continuously - for 50M in 100 days after taking office. All needed supplies are available today!
Biden rejoined the Paris Climate Agreement. The Build Back Better bill has stalled but will likely be divided into several smaller bills that address climate change, child tax credits, lower drug prices and paid leave for family and medical emergencies. Although increasing the minimum wage and union organizing did not pass the senate due to Manchin-Sinema treachery, these House initiatives are popular and have found action all across the US in popular movements. The Senate has also blocked VAWA.
Biden has directed funding towards transgender anti violence, the Palestinian Authority, and reversed Trump’s family separation policy at the border! Biden ended the war in Afghanistan but not yet in Yemen. Biden is working on rejoining the Iran nuclear deal and denuclearlizing NK.
Biden paused student loan repayment. He directed the Justice Dept to end the use of private prisons.
Republican Party rejection of any cooperation with Biden has stalled several initiatives but especially exacerbating the pandemic. Not only are national and state elected politicians openly contradicting the President but their base is rejecting the simple solution of getting vaccinated and dying at a record rate of nearly 2000/day - there is no limit to the excuses that Republican literally cry out everyday - it is a pathetic display of ignorance and arrogance and emotional neurosis!
Joseph Gatt Isn't it the case that President Biden's agenda was stymied more by Democratic Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, than by the Republican Party? 🙄
Fred Welfare Yes, it does look like these two so-called Democrats have been appropriated by the GOP. However, for the entire Republican Senate to form lock-step obedience to McConnell and other party leaders is a pathetic lack of courage, as if there are neither any merits to Biden's initiatives nor any harm from Republican vetoes!
