We do have plans for highspeed rail, we're building it in California, Navada, Florida, and the north east corridor right now, with plans to extend the network and add new lines.

Biden has also been funding renewable energy, and fighting inflation, forgiving student debt, and providing funding for first time home buyers.

We absolutely still need a public option for healthcare, and to decriminalize cannabis, but I don't think you're giving him enough credit. Biden has done more to help unions than Clinton or Obama. He's been getting a lot done with a divided congress.

In 2008, both China and the US announced competing high speed rail initiatives.

According to wikipedia, China now has 43,000 km of high speed rail. The US has 80 km of high speed rail.

Yes Cali has plans for high speed rail, its pretty much the same plan from 2008.

And going down your list- renewable energy, fighting inflation, student debt forgiveness, homebuyer assistance - all of these are tepid, surface level initiatives that do not solve the underlying problems. So you're right, I dont give Biden much credit.

Man, the self-righteous delusion going on in this place.

Libs are SOOO desperate to believe something other than reality (not you, your haters).
