Key word is "proposal", which will be used for the election. But will not be actually fought for, or if somehow makes it through will likely be gutted to give corps money and just retain the name. I am thinking it would be stopped just like all the bullshit was on technicalities that we never hear of except when shit that would help people is brought forward (the shit involving that stupid-ass parliamentarian a few years ago being a great example). And the mass public of liberals or otherwise the "um I really don't care about politics" folks will just remember it was mentioned at some point and assume it was done. Just another failure of our larger problem of mass amnesia. Similar to how so many idiots voted for Biden over Bernie because they thought they both were for Medicare for All, since Biden had stated multiple times that "healthcare is a right". Fuck him, his party, the Republicans, corpo media, and especially the capitalist ruling class that owns both parties!
Champ!
Only 9.2 millions? Not 40+?
a big bold plan to solve a major american problem?
Must be election season.
TBF Biden has passed a ton of great stuff outside of election season.
Some of the very first things he did as POTUS was call for the replacement of the Anti-environmental EPA director and the ICE director, as well as reinstate protections for streams and waterways from runoff and the reimplementation of Criminal-Only ICE focus and 72 hour holding limitations.
The SAVE Act that is reducing Student Loan Payments as low as $0 a month
The Inflation Reduction Act which does everything from lower deficit and climate impact to lowering price of goods
Full support both through supplies and endorsing wider worldwide support for Ukraine against the Russian Invasion
Signed the 2022 update to the Respect for Marriage Act which includes protections for homosexual and transgender couples against discrimination in the search for employment or housing, which previously only force states to recognize interracial marriages from out of state
The massive infrastructure bill with little to no concessions, also avoiding a federal government shutdown
Bipartisan Safer Communities Act helps remove firearms from mentally unstable or convict individuals who likely obtained their firearms after previous president Trump removed the relevant background checks
Called for federal entities to review Marijauna's place as a scheduled drug, and pardoned all previous small offences for the substance
So, not to say absolutely everything he's done was only good, just that his policies have only slowed down or become worse near the end rather than what you implied.
