Admittedly I am not a Biden fan or admirer but this was a savvy move politically. He makes the proposal, likely knowing he lacks the authority, but the actual blockage comes from the Republican-led Supreme Court, so Team Red gets the blame.
And if it actually goes through? It's not like Pres. Biden has ever concerned himself about increased govt spending.
- ricktdotorg 4y agoagree that it is not looking good for Biden. US gov debt increased by ~$5.0 trillion in the 8 years of the GW Bush administration. US gov debt increased by ~$9.3 trillion in the 8 years of the Obama administration. US gov debt increased by ~$7.8 trillion in the 4 years of the Trump administration. US gov debt seems to have increased by ~$5.0 trillion in the 2 years so far of the Biden administration. (!!) of course, not all debt can necessarily be attributed to or blamed on a president or a party (congress, force majeure etc), but from a "amount of dollars added to US gov debt during a single 4-year presidential administration" perspective, Mr. Trump comes out as the winner -- so far. sources for above: waves hands take your pick of outlet/gov agency/etc.
