President Joe Biden will tout his economic agenda in remarks Wednesday as he campaigns for a second term amid low polling numbers on his job performance and the direction of the country.

The president’s plan, which the White House dubbed “Bidenomics,” aims to “move beyond” the “trickle down” economic theory that it says disproportionately benefits the wealthy and big corporations through tax cuts while reducing investment in priorities such as infrastructure and education, and failing to protect market competition.

I see. I have to say that student loan forgiveness hasn't happened, I'm still in debt. Infrastructure hasn't seemed to change at all really. And biden has been disastrous for trans rights, which are the worst they've ever been (and he hasn't done a simple thing that'd improve the healthcare for many trans people: legalizing cyproterone acetate or even just vocally mentioning this issue).

We'll agree to disagree I guess. None of the things you listed really makes me interested in seeing another biden term.
