      Marijuana rescheduling, infrastructure spending, student loan forgiveness, clean drinking water, lowered costs of generic drugs, expanded Medicaid, increased domestic manufacturing, rejoining the Paris agreement, increased nationwide gas mileage requirements, and improved healthcare access for veterans not enough policies for you?

            That’s it? That’s all he’s supposed to do while millions are still struggling?

            Single mom: “I’m working three jobs and my kids are still hungry. We’re about to be homeless.”

            “Hey now, Paris climate agreement! Be grateful!”

              That’s it? That’s all he’s supposed to do while millions are still struggling?

              In aggregate, they’re actually not. Consistently.

              Single mom: “I’m working three jobs and my kids are still hungry. We’re about to be homeless.”

              Family homelessness is actually down by a lot, and a recent uptick isn’t enough to counteract the decline in homelessness since 2013.

              “Hey now, Paris climate agreement! Be grateful!”

              You skipped: Marijuana rescheduling, infrastructure spending, student loan forgiveness, clean drinking water, lowered costs of generic drugs, expanded Medicaid, increased domestic manufacturing, increased nationwide gas mileage requirements, and improved healthcare access for veterans.

              Why?

                You’re right, everything is really great right now in America. Nothing else to see here folks. Everybody’s swimming in gold.

                Ignore the nearly 60% of people living paycheck to paycheck.

                    Marijuana rescheduling

                    Is weed now legal nationwide? Everyone in jail for marijuana convictions now released? Records all expunged?

                    infrastructure spending

                    Bridges are literally crumbling. Where’s the high speed rail?

                    student loan forgiveness

                    $1,600,000,000,000 total student loan debt, 45,000,000 Americans. He’s wiped $150 billion. That’s around 9% of the total and most of that has already been added back from the interest. “We did it Joe!”

                    clean drinking water

                    Flint would like a word.

                    lowered costs of generic drugs

                    For seniors, and for insulin.

                    expanded Medicaid

                    expand Medicaid coverage to adults with incomes up to 138 percent of the poverty level (about $20,780 annually for an individual or $35,630 for a family of three.) - How are they even surviving on that much? MURICA is doing great sweetie!

                    increased domestic manufacturing

                    What’s the output not including the tax subsidized spending? Small businesses are being decimated.

                    increased nationwide gas mileage requirements

                    While increasing oil production he said he wouldn’t do. There’s a reason Sunrise Movement won’t endorse him.

                    improved healthcare access for veterans.

                    Thanks Bernie Sanders!
