Tell me of all the "competent" things the last administration did, with their army of competent people who were pulling Biden's strings.
Sure. I'll list Biden's accomplishments, and you list Trump's trickle down bullshit. The only requirement is everything you list has to be backed by hard data, not your Fox News right wing rage vomit memes. I know what will happen here. You will dodge and deflect and absolutely will not participate in listing Trump's "accomplishments" because he has none. You can start with the amazing competency of his cabinet, which was all part of Trump's incredible "only the best" initiatives of only hiring people who are "competent".
UNDER THE BIDEN ADMIN
The economy added 16.6 million jobs, and Gross Domestic Product grew 12.6%. The Biden-Harris Administration is the only administration in history to have created jobs every single month.
The Administration achieved the lowest average unemployment in 50 years—with record-low unemployment rates for Black Americans, Latino Americans, women, veterans, workers without a high school diploma, and workers with disabilities.
The share of working-age Americans in the workforce reached its highest level in two decades, and the share of working-age women in the workforce hit a record high.
The strong labor market led to better pay and working conditions. After-tax incomes increased by nearly $4,000, accounting for inflation, and real wages grew most quickly for low-wage workers. This is the strongest recovery for real wage growth in 50 years.
Wealth, adjusted for inflation, rose a record 37% for the median American household.
Americans filed a record 21 million new small business applications, the most in any presidential administration in history.
President Biden's Investing in America agenda has helped attract over $1 trillion in private-sector investments in clean energy and manufacturing, and created over 1.6 million construction and manufacturing jobs.
Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. On November 15, 2021, President Biden signed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, an investment in America's infrastructure and competitiveness. Since then, the Biden-Harris Administration has broken ground on projects to rebuild our roads and bridges, upgrade transit and rail, modernize ports and airports, deliver clean and safe water, clean up legacy pollution, expand access to high-speed internet, lower energy costs, and build a clean energy economy. President Biden delivered an "Infrastructure Decade" that is unlocking access to economic opportunity, creating good-paying jobs, boosting domestic manufacturing, and building the foundation for durable, shared growth.
The Biden-Harris Administration's initiative was nearly $600 billion in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding and launched over 72,000 specific infrastructure projects and awards. This included:
Improvements on over 200,000 miles of roads and over 12,000 bridge repair projects.
Launching over 2,400 drinking water and wastewater projects across the country.
Replacing nearly 500,000 lead pipes, benefitting over 1.2 million people.
Funding to deploy nearly 4,600 low-and zero-emission American-made transit buses and over 8,900 clean school buses in over 1,300 communities across the country.
Funding nearly 450 rail projects as part of the largest investment since Amtrak was created more than 50 years ago.
Funding for over 1,000 port and waterway projects to strengthen supply chains.
Investments in over 400 projects to modernize and expand airport terminals—over 200 of which are under construction or complete.
Removing hazardous fuel material from nearly 18 million acres of land to mitigate the impact of wildfires.
Enabling over 23 million low-income households to access free or discounted high-speed internet service.
Plugging nearly 9,600 orphaned oil and gas wells to address legacy pollution.
Inflation Reduction Act
CHIPS and Science Act
In addition,
Signed the Butch Lewis Act as part of the American Rescue Plan, saving the pensions of two million hard-working union workers and retirees. Already, more than 120,000 retirees received an average of $13,600 each in earned benefits that were protected or restored.
Signed the Social Security Fairness Act, becoming the first President in more than 20 years to expand Social Security benefits. This bill expanded benefits by hundreds of dollars per month for more than 2.5 million Americans.
Signed the "Good Jobs" Executive Order on Investing in America and Investing in American Workers, which calls on agencies to promote strong labor standards—including the free and fair choice to join a union, robust workforce development programs like registered apprenticeships, and worker health and safety—as they award funding from the Investing in America agenda.
Finalized a rule to restore and extend overtime pay protections for millions of workers.
Proposed a new rule from the Department of Labor to protect 36 million workers from extreme heat on the job.
Raised the minimum wage to $17.75 per hour for federal contract workers.
Published the first update to Davis-Bacon prevailing wages in nearly 40 years, which will increase pay for one million construction workers.
Fought for and implemented fivefold bonus credits for clean energy projects that employ prevailing wages and registered apprenticeships to ensure fair pay and a skilled workforce.
Required Project Labor Agreements on nearly all major federal construction projects over $35 million, so federal construction projects will be delivered on time and on budget with good wages and well-trained workers.
Designated nine Workforce Hubs across the country to build partnerships among unions, educators, employers, and local governments centered around training residents for good-paying jobs created by the Investing in America agenda.
Signed a Registered Apprenticeship Executive Order to bolster apprenticeships in the federal workforce.
Invested more than $730 million in Registered Apprenticeships, leading to more than one million registered apprentices receiving gold standard earn-as-you-learn training for in-demand jobs.
Signed into law bipartisan protections for pregnant and postpartum workers and strengthened protections for survivors of sexual assault and harassment in the workplace.
Through the CHIPS and Science Act, provided nearly $300 million in dedicated funding to-date for training and workforce development to ensure local communities have access to the jobs of the future in upcoming projects.
Introduced a requirement that companies receiving grants over $150 million under the CHIPS and Science Act create a plan to ensure access to quality, affordable child care for their employees.
Expanded remedies available to workers through the National Labor Relations Board when employers engage in unionbusting.
Overhauled the process for union representation elections by requiring employers to bargain if they commit an unfair labor practice during the election process, and by reducing unnecessary delays before workers can vote.
Launched the first-ever White House Task Force on Worker Organizing and Empowerment, chaired by Vice President Harris, which resulted in over 70 actions to promote worker organizing and collective bargaining for federal employees and workers employed by public- and private-sector employers.
Signed a first-of-its-kind Presidential Memorandum on Advancing Worker Empowerment, Rights, and High Labor Standards Globally to uphold common standards and fundamental workers' rights that are key for American workers and companies to compete fairly in the global economy.
