Decades of Fraught US Foreign Policy Mars Biden’s Accomplishments
Let me start off by saying I love Joe Biden.
That’s saying a lot considering he wasn’t even my second choice for Democratic nominee in 2020.
Yet over the past three years, he’s impressed me with his myriad accomplishments, the most significant include:
— signing the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act
— forming the American Climate Corps
— forgiving $39 billion in student loan debt
— reuniting more than 600 children separated from their families at the Southern border during the Trump administration
— signing the “No Surprises Act,” “the Safer Communities Act,” and the “Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors for America (CHIPS) and Science Act”
— pardoning thousands of Americans with simple marijuana possession convictions
— decriminalizing marijuana at the federal level
— replacing the nation’s lead pipe infrastructure
— appointing a Black woman to the Supreme Court
— joining a union picket line with auto workers
