Also, what good does interest rates due those that are barely making enough to get by? Most still won't be able to buy a vehicle or a house. Every single time in my long life when interest rates went down, prices went up, so the payments were the same! Houses rose about 25% over the last couple of years, so home insurance went up based on the house being worth more, real property taxes went up based on the increased value of the house, and similar with vehicles where prices went up, car insurance went up and personal property taxes went up based on these bogus value increases. Interest goes down? So what? The damage has been done.
These are reason to invest in stocks over the long term, and stay ahead of inflation. Low or descending interest rates are typically good for stocks.

He made both sides come together and make a deal. He did the same with the Rail strike. He did that with the UAW strike and even went as far as to walk the picket line with strikers, in contrast to Trump who went to a non-union shop and bad mouth all the strikers.

Workers are getting a better deal and you don't like it. So sorry!!

President Biden established the Supply Chain Disruptions Task Force with a focus on transportation and logistics bottlenecks. This resulted in better coordination between the private firms who control the transportation and logistics supply chain.

Among its accomplishments are 24/7 operation of ports; agreement from unions to work those shifts, coordination with warehouse operators to store the products until the railroads can take the products; coordination with railroads to move the products across the nation, agreement from retailers to take the goods once offloaded. By operating 24/7, especially at night and weekends, productivity increased and customers are not seeing the shortages they experienced before he was president.

you do like to run off the rails with all of your arguments. In this one I see a lot of prejudices coming out and well that is your style and we all know it. But yeah the country was just as divided but congress during all those times kept the government working, except for the time that Congress decided to shut the government down in 2019 for over a month. It was really stupid because the republicans had control of both houses and the white house. This years congress is a donothing congress and well there is more chaos and stupidity on the house floor. They take 3 weeks to decide on a speaker and after 16 votes got one. When that speaker kept the government open with a bipartisan bill he got voted out of the speaker and we were dumped in chaos again. Yeah the US is polorized and our elected officials are why.
