This doesn’t fundamentally improve the lives of most working people, due not only to no BBB but also due to lack of universal healthcare, college loan debt, wage stagnation & income inequality. Most of the gains are just going to the top. That is a perilous, not a strong economy.

During our first year in office, we achieved: - The greatest year of job growth in American history - The fastest economic growth in nearly four decades - Record drops in unemployment Now, we’ve got to keep the progress going by passing my Build Back Better Agenda.

It’s not growth when you have 11 million jobs open and nobody wants to work them. Too many government handouts have led to a lack of motivation. Too many lockdowns and mandates have led to too much fear and mental health issues.

“When they give it to the poor they call it a handout; when they give it to the rich they call it a subsidy” -MLK Jr. The “handouts” you refer to have been the largest stimulants on the economy - plus for millions of people they have meant lives kept afloat.

No to universal health care and no to an overall erasure of students debt. You agreed to pay back that student loan, so unless you qualify for an existing debt discharge program you owe that money.

As a 50 plus white male I can assure you my life is dramatically worse than it was a year ago. You know it's bad when a hiring mgr says, would love to offer you the position but our "diversity team" has encouraged me to hold off on making offers to Caucasian males.
