    What has he gotten done that you support?

    I’m pretty disappointed in the Inflation Reduction Act that actually prints a trillion more dollars.

    We need inherent change in the government, we need congress to get off their asses and create good bills. We need to get away from the 4th branch of government.

    Not print a trillion more $ that goes to government subcontractors and the top 1%

      You listed a lot of legislative issues there. What should the executive branch do for those issues? Veto the Inflation Reduction Act? Not enact bills passed by congress?

        Executive branch should enforce laws passed by the legislative branch and do what they can to keep us out of more international military conflicts.

        The IRA was Biden’s baby, it’s not that he was silent on the bill then it just happened to cross his desk. The executive should NOT be pushing legislation, the executive branch should NOT be trying to unilaterally pass $1T in debt relief with an executive order and should NOT promote divisiveness.

          Hard disagree. The Pax Americana is the best thing to happen to the geopolitical landscape in all of human history.

            Between the dogwhistle about wanting to end our support for Ukraine, and complaining about the IRA-- the largest climate change bill passed by any nation in human history-- because it “cost too much”, I’m starting to wonder if the guy you’re replying to is on the left at all.

            EDIT: Just checked their post history, and yep, they’re openly a conservative.
