The wealthy and the poor benefit from Shitty government fiscal policy. Its the uber wealthy that support Democrats. The poor kept from being evicted, the wealthy from trickle up policy.
Overwhelmingly the middle class suffered. Which is progressive policy. California is your model.

So in your opinion, student loan forgiveness isnt needed, and more racial policies are wasteful.
Correct?

Trump went along with the CONvid scam every step of the way. I’m not forgiving him and neither should anyone else. He can burn with the rest of the scumbags

I didn't have student loans. It's a tough situation for many and I think there is a mix of benefits there to just paying it off potentially. With that said they were adults entering a loan agreement why should I bare the risk.
I'd rather focus our efforts on fixing the education system and ensuring free college and trade schools for anyone that wants them. Something like a tax credit or reduction to cover the entirety of it upon employment would be interesting though. So it was "free" to the person with gainful employment.

Give me an example of something here. But in general as far as laws go, I'm pretty sure everything is want to be illegal already is and we should legalize more stuff

For every one person with your dismissive attitude towards what needed to be happening on the ground at the time, there were a thousand who wanted and needed to see Trump take certain actions before they would trust coming back out and participating in the economy, i.e. getting back out to work and make money, which then of course leads to going out and spending said money and injecting it into the economy, which is sorta what economies require to function in any healthy way.
Should Trump have instead blown those many people off and ignored their fears and uncertainties? And your and mine and anyone else’s thoughts about those particular people and their silly “fears and uncertainties” either then or now is completely irrelevant. The economy was going to die for good had they not been coaxed back out and into the economy. And that right there was Trump’s number one priority: coaxing everyone back out into the economy….before it died right before our eyes.

He called us nonessential. Well I say trump is nonessential. The presidency itself is nonessential along with the rest of DC

Not what I asked.
Should student loans be paid off by govt?
If you folks are doing so well, why are we creating new welfare policies across the board?

I'm about 50k a year better since then. But I moved to Dallas to sit next to the CEO during covid when no one else would leave their house in New Orleans, so can't really contribute it to politics. Just my own hard work.

Yes.
I know lots of people who aren’t though. Depends on the individual situation

I am because I’ve received raises every year, but I’d be doing even better if the previous administration was still in office.

Absolutely not. Groceries are killing me
