Better off under Biden than four years ago

To the question “Are you better off than you were four years ago?” My answer: “Yes!”

Four years ago, people were dying by the thousands from a pandemic under former President Trump due to the fact that he was more concerned about his reelection chances than the health and welfare of the American people.

Conversely, since the Biden administration took over in January 2021, COVID-19 vaccines were distributed in a safe, efficient and cost-effective manner. We have also seen many millions of jobs added, higher wages, the lowest unemployment rate in decades, lower drug costs, a bipartisan infrastructure bill passed, one of the best economies in the post-COVID world, millions of student loans forgiven, Social Security and Medicare protected, the Dow Jones Industrial Average at an all-time high, NATO reunited and the respect of the world for the USA restored.

Also, no more tax breaks for billionaires, kowtowing to Putin, incompetence and nepotism in the White House, asinine 3 a.m. tweets, constant golfing at our expense, ultra-right wing Supreme Court justices, and/or disrespecting our men and women in uniform.

And if Trump didn’t kill the bipartisan bill, the Southern border would soon be fixed. Much better off!
