Way to go, Joe. He may be old, but his presidency has done more for Americans than I've seen in quite some time. He's obviously in touch with what this country needs to remain vital and thrive in today's ever changing environment, setting the stage for a better America for all its citizens.

A sweeping climate, health and tax bill, the Inflation Reduction Act represents the largest attempt in U.S. history to combat climate change with a $369 billion package of clean-energy funding covering cars and homes and businesses.

New measures to lower prescription drug costs, including a provision that empowers Medicare to negotiate prices with the pharmaceutical industry, a new $2,000 yearly cap on out-of-pocket costs for prescriptions through Medicare, and a $35 monthly insulin cap for Medicare beneficiaries.

The Electoral Count Reform Act will revise the 1887 Electoral Count Act to make clear the vice president cannot discount electoral votes.

In response to growing public support for action to address mass shootings that have become common in the U.S., The Safer Communities Act — a bipartisan bill led by Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., and John Cornyn, R-Texas — include grants for states to pass “red flag” laws designed to block people who could pose a threat to themselves or others from purchasing or owning a firearm.

An essential step to revitalizing the struggling U.S. manufacturing industry and making a downpayment in the American workforce. The CHIPS and Science Act is both a major piece of legislation and a message that the U.S. doesn’t intend to fall behind China when it comes to global competitiveness. It’s another bipartisan success story for this Congress, representing a rare point of strong consensus between the two parties: that the U.S. must combat China’s rising influence on the world stage.

The Respect for Marriage Act — led by Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., the first openly gay American elected to the Senate — forces the federal government to recognize legally performed same-sex marriages and to ensure couples full benefits “regardless of the couple’s sex, race, ethnicity, or national origin.”

This is the exact opposite of small and limited government. Our founding fathers are probably spinning in their graves and shouting FJB... And the inflation "reduction" act is basically a meme at this point. People only bring it up when they intend to mock Joe Biden and democrats in general. You probably should think that one through a little more carefully before bringing it up.


It's hard to imagine anyone cheering on the addition of a mountain of debt, unless you just totally and completely hate your great great grandchildren for some reason. Collapsing indebted empires are no fun to be around.

I agree. Despite considerable opposition, Biden has accomplished some amazing things that will make American's lives better. In the long run, he will go down as one of the most successful presidents of the past 50 years.

Despite all that, I was still much, much better off from 2016–2020, than now.

I am sorry that life circumstances have been unkind to you.

Personally, I am financially somewhat better than 2016-2020, but I am encouraged by the long term payback we will see for Biden's various investments, and I am happy that many people will benefit from so many things, like the cap on insulin prices.

People like Biden's wokeness and all of the nice Christmas gifts he delivered in the $1.7 trillion spending bill. If he can figure out a way to provide free tiny homes for every American in need of a house, and a $40k per year universal basic income for all the drug addicts and the service employees who lost their job to a robot, then he should get reelected for sure.

This is the stuff dystopian nightmares are made of...

People had a false sense of prosperity in the 1920's, 100 years later it seems some are doomed to repeat that. For the sake of
my retirement fund, I hope that you are completely right while I'm playing Chicken Little.

Passing huge spending Bills with a lot of waste, unjustified spending, and pork is not so amazing and certainly not responsible.
