It has been 170 days since Biden took office less than half a year into a 4 year presidency.
What has Biden accomplished in that time? A lot.
Here are fifty of my favorites of his accomplishments:
1. Biden gave us a reason to hope
The Case for Biden Optimism
Biden has the right agenda, the redistribution of dignity. A politician can tell the people who have been left behind that he hears them, and thats words. But Biden wants to present them with a $1,400 check they wouldnt have otherwise gotten, increase the child tax credit to $3,000 and create infrastructure jobs. Thats material proof that somebody in Washington understands what you are going through and is doing something real.
Will he be able to pass this sort of sweeping legislation? I have far from given up hope. Everyday, I read that Republicans will never go for these spending plans, and I always want to ask the writer: Have you noticed that Republicans have already voted for roughly $3 trillion in new spending over the last 10 months? Do not underestimate how divided and confused their party is right now. Do not underestimate how much Republicans trust Biden personally.
I was shocked by how moved I was by the Biden inaugural. Weve been through an emotional hailstorm over four years. Suddenly the sky has cleared. Its possible America may emerge from this trauma more transformed than we can imagine.
2. Biden protected people from foreclosure and eviction in this awful time
Extend foreclosure and eviction moratoriums
Biden extends eviction ban amid fears of 'horrific crisis'
The White House and other federal agencies sprang into action amid growing concerns that state and local governments were not prepared to protect renters if the federal eviction ban expired next Wednesday. More than six million renter households are behind on rent, according to a recent survey by the Census Bureau.
