        At the start of his term we were hiding in houses and fighting for toilet paper and by the end of it things were much better.

        The Inflation Reduction Act was probably the most progressive bill since Franklin D. Roosevelt’s 1930s New Deal programs.

          Hugely disingenuous to claim that a global pandemic ending was a policy change.

          And while the IRA was a decent piece of legislation, I’d love to hear how it was the “most progressive bill” since the New Deal. Hint: expensive ≠ progessive, especially when tangible results are hard to pin down.

          (Not saying Biden was a bad president, but it’s fair to say he was a mediocre one)
