Biden’s big bet hits reality

Joe Biden hung a portrait of Franklin Delano Roosevelt above the Oval Office fireplace when he entered the White House — the first time in nearly 60 years that the place of honor has gone to the architect of the New Deal.
Then Biden launched a spending spree whose impact would rival that of any president since.
But Biden’s attempt to secure an FDR-style legacy is running short on time.
A POLITICO analysis shows that hundreds of billions of dollars that Congress approved at Biden’s urging remain unspent heading into his November rematch with former President Donald Trump.
If Trump wins, he could take a wrecking ball to Biden’s greatest legislative achievements: four laws containing $1.6 trillion in loans, grants and tax credits meant to green the economy, revive the country’s manufacturing base, repair its roads and bridges and challenge China for technological supremacy.
It's clear that Democrats have a messaging problem because Republicans hate Democrats.
The country mouth breathers mistake culture war achievements for actual achievements.
While some on this board hate Biden because of his Israeli support, or just that he's a Democrat, the real truth is that Democrats provide legislation to actually make the country better; Republicans cannot platform on that because they have no achievements other to carpetbag on Biden legislation (that they predominantly didn't vote for).
Truth is: I'd vote Republican if they took an interest in reducing the deficit by proper taxation methods (not just cutting programs like welfare, and social security).
They were taken over by Jesus freaks in the 80s and now they have Trump and I'll never vote for such idelologies. So I'm backing the blue because morally it's better and if they actually were to gain a super majority in the House, Senate and White House, they could blow past the racist, backwards, white trash mouth breathers (who really are the cudgel for the ultra rich to use) and get this country back on track for the future rather than looking at the Boomer past and saying that was when we had it best.
