or for that matter, the "built by the WPA under President Roosevelt" placards that you can still find in nearly every town in America
@jbouie They should have called it the Biden Child Tax Credit. Yes GOP parents would be upset but they would have still taken the money and it would signal to the majority of voters who do not pay attention to politics that Biden has done something for them.
@jbouie You know what also helps? Having a supportive section of the media class that is willing to broadcast administration accomplishments with their chests
@jbouie Direct benefits (tax credits, stimulus, etc) & public works/infra shld incl postcards to everyone saying how their Rep & Sens voted, whether Pres signed, & party affiliations for all. Eg Rep Smith (R) voted no Sen Black (D) voted yes Sen Green (R) voted no Pres Biden (D) signed
@jbouie If your opponents are going to blame you for bad things completely outside of your control, you should absolutely claim credit for good things
