Biden's Failures
Joe Biden has been President for about 32 days as of today and he has failed in some major ways, which was expected since he was a conservative Democrat who has screwed over the working class for many years as Senator from Delaware. Let’s talk about what I think are the top three failures so far since he has been elected.
First, he is caving on the minimum wage increase to $15 per hour and is willing to use the technicalities of the reconciliation process to not push for this. This is a failure because you already see he has no backbone when it comes to protect the working poor. He is not that guy from Scranton, but rather that rich dude who has compensated highly by his status as Senator and Vice President.
Second, he has officially said he will not support $50,000 in student debt forgiveness, simply because he is out of touch. He is advocating for forgiving $10,000 and thinks that will make us student debt borrowers happy, but no it will not. He personally ensured student debt was not allowed to be relieved in bankruptcy and he has done nothing for minority students who take on more debt to advance ourselves. He created this nightmare and doesn’t have the balls to fix this by taxing his corporate donors. The interest rates we pay are crazy and the amount of debt we need to incur are a product of the Jim Crow days he led as a Senator.
Lastly, we don’t have a stimulus bill passed and $2,000 checks have not been distributed. This is the biggest failure and while this failure is not 100% on him, he is still responsible, because we wasted weeks on some stupid ass impeachment trial that had no chance of success.
So far Joe Biden is who I thought he is and I’m not happy about that.
