    There is only so much POTUS can do without the support of the Congress, and the House is currently controlled by people who would rather watch America fail than a Democrat succeed.

    • He had Congress for two years.

      Obama had a supermajority for part of his presidency.

      The problem isn’t congressional control. It’s that we have bipartisanship only for things that are absolutely shitty. That’s why they can make 100+ billion appear out of thin air for another country’s war, but won’t spend a dime trying to help Americans affected by massive inflation.
