Not fixable.
Best we can hope for is a slow down of garbage policies and nonsense.
Nothing will get better, all we can do is hope it doesn’t continue to get worse.

  • Biden helped get over 500 million shots in arms (Recall that Trump was practically an anti-vaxxer. How many more would be DEAD under Trump?)
  • Biden delivered needed relief to families by sending over 160 million checks to Americans.
  • Under Biden, Americans saw the biggest year of job growth in American history... In 2021, the U.S. economy added over 6.5 million jobs – the greatest year of job growth under any President in history. At the same time, we saw the largest annual decline in unemployment ever recorded and the strongest year of GDP growth since 1984.
  • Biden got passed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, providing billions in funding to repair bridges and roads, begin replacing every lead pipe in America, upgrade our ports and airports, and expand broadband access to all. It also includes the largest federal investment in public transit ever.
  • Biden rejoined the Paris Climate Accords and committed to cutting U.S. emissions to half of 2005 levels by 2030. (Trump apparently didn't care about the state the planet is going to be in for our grandchildren.)
  • After four years of endless attempts to strip health care from millions of Americans under the previous Administration, Biden brought down costs and expanded health care access for millions of Americans.
  • Biden’s Made in America strategy resulted in the largest yearly increase in U.S. manufacturing jobs in nearly 30 years.
Positive accomplishments mean zero to regressive voters that want to send things back 50-100 years permanently.

Those bullet points are propaganda. None of the pork bills is an accomplishment. In fact, they are the main reason for runaway inflation and the loss of trillions in the stock market.

The poster could at least provide a link for the propaganda. He didn’t write it. Plagiarism is a character trait of Biden’s followers as well as Biden apparently.

Question. Do you think Trump's tariff's had anything to do with things costing more? Do you think that supply chain interruption's because of Covid had anything to do with inflation? Do you think that there aren't greedy people out there making huge profits under the guise of inflation? You want to blame our current president without acknowledging the mistakes of the previous president? You really think inflation happened in just two years? Prices were already going up under Trump with his tariff wars. Supply chains exacerbated the the rise. During Covid shut downs we lost 3% of our oil refineries. Low supply, low demand, low prices. So do you want to blame Trump for that? President's don't control global markets, and the whole world is going through what we are going through. We've never seen anything like this in our lifetime and I hope we never do again. Biden has more experience dealing with this having gone through the 2008 financial melt down and the 2009 H1N1 pandemic vs Trump and his Pence/Jared clown show handling the pandemic. But we won't want to talk about that will we.
