  • That's it? That's all he's supposed to do while millions are still struggling?

    Single mom: "I'm working three jobs and my kids are still hungry. We're about to be homeless."

    "Hey now, Paris climate agreement! Be grateful!"

    • That’s it? That’s all he’s supposed to do while millions are still struggling?

      In aggregate, they're actually not. Consistently.

      Single mom: “I’m working three jobs and my kids are still hungry. We’re about to be homeless.”

      Family homelessness is actually down by a lot, and a recent uptick isn't enough to counteract the decline in homelessness since 2013.

      “Hey now, Paris climate agreement! Be grateful!”

      You skipped: Marijuana rescheduling, infrastructure spending, student loan forgiveness, clean drinking water, lowered costs of generic drugs, expanded Medicaid, increased domestic manufacturing, increased nationwide gas mileage requirements, and improved healthcare access for veterans.

      Why?

      • You're right, everything is really great right now in America. Nothing else to see here folks. Everybody's swimming in gold.

        Ignore the nearly 60% of people living paycheck to paycheck.

        • Literally not what I said. Can you address what I actually said instead?

          • Marijuana rescheduling

            Is weed now legal nationwide? Everyone in jail for marijuana convictions now released? Records all expunged?

            infrastructure spending

            Bridges are literally crumbling. Where's the high speed rail?

            student loan forgiveness

            $1,600,000,000,000 total student loan debt, 45,000,000 Americans. He's wiped $150 billion. That's around 9% of the total and most of that has already been added back from the interest. "We did it Joe!"

            clean drinking water

            Flint would like a word.

            lowered costs of generic drugs

            For seniors, and for insulin.

            expanded Medicaid

            expand Medicaid coverage to adults with incomes up to 138 percent of the poverty level (about $20,780 annually for an individual or $35,630 for a family of three.) - How are they even surviving on that much? MURICA is doing great sweetie!

            increased domestic manufacturing

            What's the output not including the tax subsidized spending? Small businesses are being decimated.

            increased nationwide gas mileage requirements

            While increasing oil production he said he wouldn't do. There's a reason Sunrise Movement won't endorse him.

            improved healthcare access for veterans.

            Thanks Bernie Sanders!

            • Is weed now legal nationwide? Everyone in jail for marijuana convictions now released? Records all expunged?

              Many pardons , clemencies, and commutations, to date.

              Bridges are literally crumbling. Where’s the high speed rail?

              $40 billion is being spent to fix bridges. $8.2 billion on high speed rail.

              $1,600,000,000,000 total student loan debt, 45,000,000 Americans. He’s wiped $150 billion. That’s around 9% of the total and most of that has already been added back from the interest. “We did it Joe!”

              To the ones who got relief, yes. Courts stopped him from doing more, unfortunately.

              Flint would like a word.

              Sure. Let's have one.

              expand Medicaid coverage to adults with incomes up to 138 percent of the poverty level (about $20,780 annually for an individual or $35,630 for a family of three.) - How are they even surviving on that much? MURICA is doing great sweetie!

              Why are you trying to change the subject?

              What’s the output not including the tax subsidized spending? Small businesses are being decimated.

              False actually.

              While increasing oil production he said he wouldn’t do. There’s a reason Sunrise Movement won’t endorse him.

              Why are you trying to change the subject?

              Thanks Bernie Sanders!

              Takano and Kaine, actually.
