Messaging is Failing, Not Joe Biden

The billionaire-funded corporate media had its work cut out for it this week when a CNN poll revealed that 46 percent of registered voters prefer any republican candidate for president over Joe Biden. 49 percent apparently believe Biden’s age is the biggest concern.

What this reveals is nothing short of poor messaging on the part of a right-leaning corporate media obsessed with political horse races over policy.

So, since the news isn’t covering them, let’s take a few minutes to break down just some of the significant accomplishments from the Biden administration and congressional Democrats everyone should already know about but likely does not.

Topping the list is the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the massive Rooseveltesque landmark legislation that provides the largest investment in history— $385 billion — to fight climate change, decreasing greenhouse gas emissions 40% by 2030; lowering energy, prescription drug, and health insurance costs; and reduce the federal deficit by requiring a 15% minimum corporate tax rate on companies that report more than $1 billion in profits, and 1% tax on stock buybacks.

Thanks to a key provision in that law, Medicare is now permitted to start negotiating for more affordable pharmaceutical drugs.
