    Biden doesn’t even acknowledge the current issues with the way our economy is structured as evident by this article.

      They really only included a quick blurb. What about Biden’s other efforts?

      Brainard [one of Biden’s top economic advisors] described “lowering costs and increasing access to housing for Americans” as “one of the most important issues in the President’s economic agenda.”

      and

      He has backed several affordable housing bills and action plans in 2023 — including the Neighborhood Homes Investment Act, which would produce 500,000 starter homes in under-resourced communities over the next decade

      I am not hyper up-to-date on everything political these days, but it seems like Biden is doing alright. Especially when I consider the alternative 🥲

        They need to shout about these efforts more. And I’d like to see actionable results and not just endless studies. The Democrats have always been terrible at messaging. Probably because all the media is corporate owned.

        There are more 25 million kids coming of age in the following decade. 500,000 doesn’t even scratch the surface of housing needs, it’s doing something sure but I am not going to praise the man for doing below the bare minimum.

        You’re once again looking at this in a vacuum.

          But you can discredit somebody for bad things they’re planning to do (looking at a certain insurrectionist)
