Mike Barnicle: Biden Improved the Country, Made the People Feel Better About the Country

EXCERPT:

BARNICLE: “There were several great elements of history and different presidents that moved the economy and the country forward. There was Eisenhower’s Highway Act in the 1950s that created suburbs, and there was a boom in the economy and a boom in the population. There was JFK and the Moon program that changed things for all time in terms of technology and research and progress for America. And there was Lyndon Johnson, on July 2nd, 1964, all those years ago, signing the first really effective civil rights legislation, improved the country, made people feel better about the country. The Biden Administration has passed the Inflation Reduction Act and the CHIPS Act, two passed of legislation that I’m told by people who know far more about economics than I do will change and improve the progress of our economy, modernize it, make it more widely spread in terms of both the country, red states specifically will benefit from it more than blue states will. Employment is on the rise. It’s at record numbers. More people will go to work today than any other time in American history. That’s the Biden Administration. Now, the decision on what he does going forward is his and his alone, in concert with his family, clearly. He will make the right decision for the country and for himself."
