Biden actually tried to address real problems in the USA with Chips act and infrastructure bill.
The stimulus bill might have been an overreach but there was almost a concensus among economists that the US was headed to a recession coming out of covid....that stim bill helped avoid that and Joe managed to land the plane without a damaging recession.
As the cover of Newsweek proclaimed when trump took over
" US economy : Envy of the world".
Biden gets hammered,rightfully so, for how it ended for kamala losing, but his stewardship of the US economy was rational vs tariffs and war under trump.
I can mostly agree with this. In general, Biden was capable of doing the day-to-day operations of the job and understood basic sh*t that Trump doesn’t seem to get (like who pays tariffs). I am in agreement with that.
The problem I and others have is the growing revisionist history that is getting a little too romanticized because of how much of a clown show Team Trump is. We get it. Biden in a wheelchair drooling into a bib while endlessly soiling his Depends is a million times preferable to the Marmalade Moron’s best day presidenting. Cool.
Unfortunately, that line of thinking is exactly what paved the way for Trump Part II—which as many feared is proving to be a hell of a lot worse than his first term. There’s a reason Joe Biden’s presidential campaigns dating back to 1988 went nowhere until 2020, when Team Blue decided what America needed was a fishing pole sparring match between Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon.
America has to do better.
