[–]backpackwayne Mod 34 points 2 days ago RECORD FIRSTS IN PRESIDENT BIDEN’S FIRST YEAR
President Biden and Vice President Harris delivered results for the American people in their first year in office. The President and Vice President made history growing our economy, addressing the climate crisis, and building a judiciary and government that represents America. Despite unprecedented challenges, 2021 was a year of record progress for working families.
Jobs: President Biden’s first year was the greatest year of job creation in American history, with more than 8 million jobs created.
Unemployment Rate: The unemployment rate dropped from 6.2% when Biden took office to 3.9%, the biggest single year drop in American history.
Unemployment Claims: The average number of Americans filing for unemployment has been near its lowest level since 1969. When the President took office, over 18 million were receiving unemployment benefits, today only 2 million are—also the biggest single year drop in history.
Economic Legislation Passed: Most significant by economic impact of any first-year president.
Economy growth is faster than China's for first time in 20 years - Strongest economic growth since 1984
Child Poverty: Experts estimate the lowest child poverty rate ever in 2021.
Expanded Access to Health Care: Nearly 5 million Americans have newly gained health insurance coverage.
Reduced Hunger: The number of households reporting that they sometimes or often did not have enough food to eat dropped by 32%.
Judges Confirmed: More judges confirmed to lower federal courts than any president since President Kennedy.
Judges That Reflect Our Nation: More Black women appointed to the U.S. Court of Appeals than any president – even over 8 years – in history.
Cabinet: First majority non-white Cabinet in history, with most women in the Cabinet, including first woman Treasury Secretary, first LGBTQ+ and Native American Cabinet officials, and first woman Director of Nation
This list is just peak lib reddit copypasta. Half of it is him undoing things that Trump did (we get it, he's not Trump). Then there's a bunch of pro-military and imperialist points that we're supposed to be happy about. It actually brags about hitting a 70% vaccination rate. It splits the student debt relief into four separate points to make it seem more impressive, when the total amount of relief only adds up to about 0.1% of total debt. One quarter of it is just infrastructure spending that barely covers upkeep of America's crumbling infrastructure. A bunch of the statistics about unemployment and child poverty, we now know to have ticked back up to pre-Biden levels due to them being temporary measures that have since been reversed.
Like, sure he's not the absolute worst President when it comes to domestic policy, but this list just reads like some dude pulling headers from a bunch of white house press releases, because he got mad about people complaining that their life hasn't really gotten better under Biden.
So, all kinds of stuff other than increasing the minimum wage, severely punishing employers that violate labor laws, and creating a right to health-care.
been playing too much eu4, thought that guy had Zoroastrian religious iconography around his name - alas they are merely the scales of justice
