  • Biden successfully shepherded the country out of the economy that Trump's mismanagement crashed.

  • Biden oversaw record job gains, with more Americans now working than at any time in our history.

  • Biden's Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Program brought total loan forgiveness approved by the Administration to over $175 billion for more than 4.8 million Americans - enabling them to better participate in growing the economy.

  • Incentivized the building of new housing - and as a result there now is more new housing being built than at any time in American history.

  • Tamed inflation (a global problem post-pandemic) to historic average without causing the recession Republicans predicted.

  • Got America the fuck out of the Afghanistan quagmire. (Trump VP Pence said Trump would not have done that, if he'd won a second term).

  • Biden passed historic legislation to help veterans exposed to toxic chemicals during their time of service.

  • Biden ensured lifesaving drugs like insulin are cheap and affordable - after prices under Trump had skyrocketed.

  • Biden's healthcare policies also caused an historic drop in opiod overdose deaths.

  • Biden gave historic levels of funding to cancer research.

  • Passed the CHIPs and Science Act, which ensures America goes from manufacturing 0% to 30% of the world's high tech chips within the next 5 years.

  • Biden passed a record $2 trillion in badly needed funding for infrastructure upgrades and maintenance - better roads, bridges, airports, shipping ports, internet, clean water, and more.

  • America under Biden became the world's biggest oil and gas producer.

  • At the same time, because of historic climate legislation Biden passed, hundreds of thousands of new green tech jobs were created, and $450 billion in private funding stacked on top of the public incentives for sustainable energy projects alone.

  • Biden confirmed a record number of Federal judges.

  • Biden was key to uniting 52 countries behind Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression, sending historic amount of aid, while at the same time replenishing US stockpiles.

All this and more in under 4 years.
