Joe Biden’s truly selfless act today exemplifies the authentic leadership that has made him the most effective Democratic President since Franklin Roosevelt.
Under very difficult political circumstances, with a bare majority in Congress and in an extremely divided country, his legislative record was extraordinary.
In just four years, President Biden led the way in the enactment of
- an economic recovery program that brought us back from the pandemic recession and led to the fastest economic growth and lowest unemployment rate in the world, as well as a relatively quick return to slow price growth.
- the boldest program to address climate change in the world.
- the largest plan to rebuild our public infrastructure since the New Deal.
- an effort to support a high-technology economy that is built on well-trained union workers.
- a health insurance plan that has reduced costs for hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians and millions of Americans.
- an expansion of tax credits that cut child poverty in half which, sadly, Republicans refused to renew after two years.
At the same time, President Biden has been a bold supporter of labor organizing and he pointed towards a revision of our tax system that asks the ultra-rich and corporations to pay their fair share.
We do not endorse candidates or political parties. But we hope we can all recognize the extraordinary achievements of President Biden.
