      Democratic presidents since LBJ:

      • Jimmy Carter
      • Bill Clinton
      • Barack Obama

      Which ones had a bigger record of progressive economic accomplishments than Biden? Closest one is Obama, but his Recovery Act was less than half the size of Biden’s Rescue/Infra/IRA/CHIPS packages. Biden was also more strongly pro-union and pro-regulation, and accomplished his many wins in half the time and with far narrower majorities in both houses.

          Howard Shultz doesn’t think so. Neither does Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, or any of the other ghouls that prefer to violate union rules. Doesn’t mean you have to like the guy to admit the obvious.

            They just weren’t the right Billionaires. Biden gave gifts to the railroads, auto industry, and construction. They don’t like to jump up and down on stages but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

            And yeah he taxed them a little bit but their wealth still grew at record pace under Biden while middle America is struggling to buy cereal. I don’t care how much the guy says he loves unions, if Union members can’t get a house then it doesn’t matter does it?
