The level of negativity I am seeing and hearing from democrats on here is unnerving, but I get it- @POTUS’s message isn’t getting out.

Because I respect Carville so much I’ll start with the economy.

It’s the strongest of any 1st term president in 50 years.

Keep reading.

Corporate America is exploding because Biden’s Covid-19 vaccination and American Rescue Plans reduced the jobless rate to 4.2% in November from 6.2% in February.

Also, the GDP growth in every incoming administration during the past four decades never exceeded 2.74% until 2021.

I’m going to talk about the American rescue plan a few times because of how much it saved us.

Through the American Rescue Plan, Biden threw $66 billion into 36 million households- think that helped the economy and children eat?

The Rescue Plan cut the child poverty rate in half- they said he couldn’t get this bill done, which is something of a trend now.

Then Biden followed up and passed the historic $1 trillion infrastructure deal. This bill addressed a major public safety crisis on multiple fronts.

The infrastructure bill put $550 billion of new federal investments in America's infrastructure over five years.

Also, Biden got $1 billion to reconnect communities -- mainly Black neighborhoods -- that were divided by highways and other infrastructure

Biden invested $66 billion in passenger and freight rail.

He is modernizing the Northeast Corridor line and bringing rail service to areas outside the Northeast and mid-Atlantic regions.

He also provided a $65 billion investment to improve the nation's broadband infrastructure.

Keep going? We can also put it this way.

4.1 million.

That’s how many jobs Joe Biden created in the first 6 months of his administration.

Why does that number matter?

Because that number is more jobs than in the 12 years of the Trump and Bush administrations combined.

Going back, the U.S. economy grew at a groundbreaking rate of 6.5% during the second quarter of this year.

Biden signed 75 executive orders undoing Trump administration policies that damaged the environment, endangered national security, or violated Americans human rights.

He made combating climate a major priority.

On climate, Biden U.S. re-entered the Paris Climate Accords and re-joined the World Health Organization.

Biden also repaired our embarrassingly damaged relationships with allies after 4 years of Trump’s antics.

Biden has appointed new judges at a faster rate than anyone in fifty years.

He’s also appointed the most diverse cabinet in American history as well as the most diverse set of judges.

And Biden ended the 2 decade war in Afghanistan, something nobody before him could do.

71% of Americans are vaccinated.

School openings were at 46% when he took office- they’re at 99% now.

And for my student debt activist friends- Biden cancelled more than $11.5 billion in loan cancellation for over 580,000 borrowers- and he said he will keep his campaign promise

Sometimes it feels hopeless and like we’re just getting our asses kicked, but in reality we are making HISTORIC progress.

Don’t doubt Joe Biden and his never ending ability to find a deal and try to share these accomplishments in your own feeds.

Democracy is counting on you!
