This is funny considering that YOUR people have absolutely NOTHING positive to point out from your Senile Messiah other than "HEY... at least he's not the guy from 2 1/2 YEARS AGO!!"

1. Lowering Healthcare and Drug Costs
In August, President Joe Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law. By doing so, he extended generous subsidies that make Affordable Care Act (ACA) health insurance plans more affordable. Those subsidies—introduced as part of Biden’s American Rescue Plan in 2021—were set to expire at the end of 2022, but the Inflation Reduction Act extends them through 2025.
2. Fighting Climate Change and Saving Families Money on Energy
Biden’s signature legislative accomplishment, the Inflation Reduction Act, also represents the largest-ever national
investment in fighting climate change. The law is predicted to
create up to 9 million jobs over the next decade while reducing premature deaths from air pollution and helping the US dramatically reduce climate change-causing emissions.
3. The Most Consequential Federal Gun Safety Bill in Decades
In the aftermath of last May’s devastating mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, Congress
finally passed legislation that aims to address the scourge of gun violence.
4. The Largest-Ever National Investment in Mental Health
The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act was largely discussed as a gun safety bill, but in reality, the bill is actually more of an
investment in mental health than anything else.
The law provides roughly $10 billion in funding for mental healthcare, the largest-ever investment in America’s mental healthcare system and a critical one at a time when rates of anxiety and depression are
on the rise, especially among young Americans.
5. Canceling Up to $20,000 in Federal Student Loans for Tens of Millions of Americans
More than 43 million Americans
hold $1.6 trillion in federal student loan debt, a crisis brought on by the skyrocketing
cost of higher education and stagnant levels of federal aid, which together have forced millions of students from middle- and low-income families to take on burdensome loans.
6. A Generational Investment in American Industry and Manufacturing
You might have noticed that products like cars, cell phones, refrigerators, and gaming consoles were harder to come by during the pandemic, as supply chain issues affected the availability of these products in the US and sent prices surging,
particularly for
vehicles.
These shortages occurred because these items—as well as many other products—rely on microchips that are overwhelmingly
manufactured in Taiwan.
The CHIPS and Science Act, which Biden signed into law in August, aims to change that by dramatically increasing domestic microchip manufacturing, a move that aims to strengthen supply chains, lower costs for consumers, create jobs for American workers, and make the US more economically independent.
The law allocates $39 billion in incentives for companies to construct and expand manufacturing facilities in the US and $13.2 billion for workforce development programs and research and development efforts.
Improving Healthcare for Veterans Affected by Burn Pits
For years, tens of thousands of US veterans who were exposed to cancer-causing toxins from burn pits while serving overseas—mostly in Afghanistan and Iraq—struggled to access the care they needed.
But last summer, Congress passed and President Biden signed the Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act into law, expanding health care coverage for more than 3.5 million veterans exposed to toxins while serving.
The law removes a bureaucratic barrier for veterans seeking care and establishes a presumption that factors during a veteran’s service are connected to 23 different respiratory illnesses and cancers related to the smoke from burn pits—which were heavily used in war zones to dispose of household and human waste and toxic substances like paint and metals.
Over the past two years, the Biden-Harris administration and the Democratic-run House and Senate acted to lower healthcare and drug costs; fight climate change and reduce energy costs; invest in mental health care; and invest in American manufacturing and infrastructure.
