So, now that we are about eight months in, I can say the Biden Administration has at least done three things right:
1. Getting us the fuck out of Afghanistan; we should've been there, I'm glad we're out and I don't see any of the criticisms as being valid in general terms.
2. Extending the Student Loan pause. It's good policy in a stopgap sense, and I personally benefited from it.
3. The Child Tax Credit reforms are good in a general sense, at least as a start.
Now, with that said, basically everything else has been bad and I'm still especially upset in three key areas:
1. No $15 minimum wage. This not only needs to happen, it needs to be indexed from inflation so we stop having this stupid fight every so often over what is, objectively, good policy and beneficial to the American public.
2. The pause is, on it's own, good but what is better is outright cancellation or at least doing the $50,000 proposals floated out there. While you're at it, let's fix the disaster our national universal system has become.
3. We need Universal Healthcare, full stop. This is obvious on it's own but especially so given the Pandemic.
