-Unions are the strongest they've been in decades.
-Wages among the lowest earners grew the fastest.
-The child tax credit was expanded.
-A minimum corporate tax was enacted.
-A tax on stock buybacks was added.
-High inflation was brought down to normal levels without a recession.
-Millions of jobs were created.
-Unemployment has remained low.
-Manufacturing returned to the US.
-Prescription prices were lowered.
-More Americans have healthcare than ever before.
-Billions were given to student debt relief.
-The American Rescue Plan got Americans back to work, covered Cobra payments, and even directly gave Americans money.

Let's stop pretending that nothing was done by this administration when it inherited a pandemic, a migrant crisis, and high inflation and managed not only to address all of those issues through Republican obstruction but accomplished much more as well.

There's always more to do, and mistakes happen, but to act like Democrats abandoned the working class is ridiculous.
