Why does Biden go after anything but minimum wage? Just because min wage isn't a winning issue doesn't make the problem go away.
Because only Congress can change the minimum wage. You know, the one half controlled by Republicans.
Sure, that is why. Poor Biden, he would help the working class, only if he could. Give president absolute power to use it when they need to help the rich, but when it helps the working class, all of a sudden they are powerless.
You remember the whole student loan forgiveness situation? The executive can only do things that the legislature has granted it power to do. And even then, the supreme court can show up and stop it for whatever reason they pull out of their ass.
Despite what Trump says, the President is not a king. The legislature is by the far the most powerful branch and is most to blame for the current situation. Blame them and especially the filibuster in the Senate.
Didn't democrats vote in executive power for president during Obama administration so the president can act on their own? Kinda funny how democrats complain republicans are authoritarian, when they give presidents power of kings.
All presidents used executive power for lesser reasons. These are just PR games for naive voters.
No, that's something Fox News made up. And I have no idea why you're replying to a 3 week old comment.
Oh, but it's easier to make corporations not be greedy?
Through the executive branch? Yes. That's why Biden is helping people, not Republicans lmfao.
Ok you cocky asshole. Let's see Biden make corporate America bend the knee. I'll wait.
Because he can then actually do something about it. This way politicians can just pretend they are on the side of the working class, while passing bills that only benefit the rich and hurt us.
