I am very glad we won't see a Biden second term, and I have many complaints against him as well, but his accomplishments should not be ignored.

LOL the infrastructure act was soooo good and buried with DEI that a chip company that wanted to build a plant here said "**** it....we are going to mexico"

The inflation reduction act did such a good job that the cost of real goods and services has only seen a 40-50% increase.

Duuuuuude......u can't be serious can you?

Saying "we aren't as ****ed as europe" does not mean he did good.

Wasn't that the act that spent like a billion dollars to build seven electric car charging stations?

I asked Chat GPT if there was anything he did that a conservative would like, and I got these 5 items.

So, the answer to OPs question is "NO"


[ol]

Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal: President Biden worked with both Republicans and Democrats to pass a $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill. This bill is aimed at improving the nation's roads, bridges, railways, and broadband internet, which is something that enjoys support across the political spectrum.

COVID-19 Vaccination Rollout: The Biden administration continued the nationwide effort to distribute and administer COVID-19 vaccines, which was initiated under the Trump administration. This ongoing public health effort has been vital in curbing the pandemic's impact.

China Policy: President Biden has largely continued a tough stance on China, similar to the previous administration. This includes addressing issues such as trade imbalances, intellectual property theft, and human rights abuses.

Support for Law Enforcement: Biden has expressed support for law enforcement and has emphasized the need for more funding for policing, albeit with reforms. This can resonate with Republicans who prioritize law and order.

Military Funding: President Biden proposed a substantial defense budget, reflecting a continued commitment to maintaining strong U.S. military capabilities.

what are you buying that is only up 20.5% in the last 3.5 years?

Cumulative inflation is up ~20% and SP500 is +40% since January 2021.

I don't know if you recall the stark contrast in the 2020 campaigns:

one candidate was having massive rallies and preaching about opening the economy and getting schools open.

the other was having small 7 ft apart circle "rallies" as he yelled about not opening the economy until we eradiated the deadly disease, needing to invest in more plexiglass to combat it, and a dark winter of death and despair coming ahead. supposedly, a record shattering +81 million thought this + the open border he was advertising was the way to go.


but now they expect people to make logical sense of giving the empty suit Joe Biden credit for "creating jobs" and the bestest recovery evvaarrr compared to certain other socialist countries in europe.

All good for Democrats....

Infrastructure... Major benefits to Blue states.. and some to Red states.
Strengthen Labor Unions ... Good for Democrats.
Inflation Reduction ... Complete fail. Prices up 20% and climbing...

Picture all of the states going either the "Blue" COVID Lockdown Level route....or the "Red" COVID Lockdown Level route and what the effect on the overall economy would have been depending on which route was taken and how long it was continued.

Also, imagine Biden being in office in 2020 rather than Trump and the likelihood of there being much more Federal level pressure from the top down to go the Blue Lockdown Level Route rather than letting the states do it their way (as Trump did).

Gas was $1.75 and the dollar meal was a real thing. As for Covid Deaths they turned out to be old age and the flu.

FYI : How many times has BIden come down with Covid? Sounds like he is a Covid spreader, not a Covid curer.

You went a bunch of different directions there but Biden still wasn't president in 2020.

If you are giving Biden inflation then he gets job growth IMHO as they were tied. The majority of the inflation was a result of post pandemic supply side economics coupled with TWO stimulus packages.

Your last comment about "socialist countries in Europe". Who would you compare our economy too then? China (ours is better). All of Asia (ours is better). Or not compare to anyone and just go by"feels". It's a global economy. It is 100% relevant our economic measures compared to the rest of the world.

I am not a Biden fan. I also don't believe most of the people on this site have seen any meaningful declines in their individual family positions over last 4 years. Vacation spending is at an all time high. Struggling people can't afford vacations.

From USAToday in November, 2021:

Quote:

---

COVID-19 has killed more people in 2021 than 2020, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data shows.

The disease was reported as the underlying cause of death or a contributing cause of death for an estimated 377,883 people in 2020, accounting for 11.3% of deaths, according to the CDC. As of Monday, more than 770,000 people have died from the coronavirus, according to Johns Hopkins University data. That means over 15,000 more people have died in 2021 than last year from COVID-19 and there's still more than a month left.

---

And Biden was armed with the vax....at least as much as one can theoretically be, anyway.

Point being.....we should have gone the Sweden route. Trump's route was much closer to that than any imagined version of Biden's route would have been.

The people on this site are largely in the top 10-20% of the country financially easily. Arguing that people in this country really aren't that worse off based on the members of this website is an absurd point.

well you're trying to miss the entire point, but it sounds like you believe Biden "created jobs" so you want to miss the point.

This mythical $1.75/gallon gas was caused by COVID. Prior to the pandemic gas was running in the $2.50-$2.75 range.

No one would trade spring of 2020 for cheap gas.

I am a Desantis guy who will vote for Trump and I approve of this post.

You can't give Trump credit for the COVID driven low gasoline price levels any more than you can give Biden credit for simply letting the economy re-open.

While adding numerous DEI obligations making it painful, expensive, and near impossible to implement with quality personnel.

The argument is really still the same even if you use the pre-covid numbers. It's still up ~30% from pre-covid. Arguing the $1.75 just gives leftists something to distract from inflation for a moment.

Didn't say that. I said if you are giving credit for inflation then he gets credit for the supply chain pressures of 10M people returning to work caused.

It's like Trump gets a pass for COVID job losses (not his fault) and credit for "cheap gas" (also not his fault).

Makes no sense. These economic barometers are all tied to each other.

Yes...gas prices (unburdened by what has been....in this case COVID related demand drop) are substantially higher under Biden than under Trump.

I've got one. The Biden Administration single handedly eliminated black and brown crime. If you look at the statistics only white people commit crimes now. Way to go Joe, you did it!

So based on your numbers we could agree that the Biden Economy hasn't been bad for too 10-20% of Americans?

Here are a few...

• Signed the PACT Act in 2022 which has awarded claims for over 1 million veterans harmed by burn pits and other toxic exposure
• Reauthorized and strengthened the Violence Against Women Act
• Awarded nearly $300 million for mental health professionals in schools as part of the Office of Gun Violence Prevention
• Pushed oil companies to ramp up production when Russia's war shook the market so that US oil production is at an all time high of ~13 million barrels per day
• Secured agreement from Japan and South Korea to ally against China with increased defense spending from both
• Partnered with NATO allies to push back against Russian aggression in Ukraine and strengthened the NATO alliance through the addition of Finland and Sweden as well as increased military spending from key members (Germany, Poland, France)
• Literally decimated the Russian military without putting American troops in harms way
• Continued to expand health insurance coverage so that the rates of uninsured Americans are at all time lows

Oh it has but I can absorb higher prices. May mean less gambling or one day less on vacation. Inflation is impacting everyone and making everyone's life more expensive.
