I worry this sort of news could push voters towards Republicans. The Republicans will make things much worse for low-income and middle class voters, of course. But for some reason, a lot of Americans buy into the ancient lie that Republican policies are “good for jobs and the economy”.

its because they think the president just flips a magic switch right when they hit office. They don’t realize policy takes time and rebups continuously sabotage shit on their way out of office.

Trump’s Republican Congress set lowered taxes to expire for the next, presumptive Democrat, administration.
“My taxes went up under Biden!” Yes, they did.
