I feel about Biden the same way I did last election, which is pretty awful considering all the great stuff he’s managed to accomplish. I should feel more excited this time round, but I’m not.
I just want someone who’s not completely out of touch and tone deaf. I don’t think he’s a bad person, per se, I just think he’s living in the wrong century.
Hmm, in my opinion, besides turning a blind eye to genocide, he’s been much better than I expected. Keep in mind that he only has so much power when he only had control of the House for two years and never had a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. A lot of the executive branch policies he has pushed through have been more progressive than I expected from him.
I think he addressed your points pretty well in the interview OP linked. Inflation has gone down significantly since he took office. The real culprit for a lot of the everyday expenses Americans are struggling with right now isn’t inflation, it’s corporate greed. Companies used inflation and supply chain shortages as an excuse to raise prices to obscene levels and collect record profits. Those prices are never coming back down now, no matter how good the economy is.
The problem is all politicians live in a top down economy. They see GDP and employment rates go up and think things are great. They don’t see the bottom up reality. Sure my wife and I are both employed but our pay is stagnant and our costs keep going up.
Granted Democrats seem to be trying to fix some of that but it’s slow going.
CNN. When it works, don’t fix it.
