I posted the numbers - median income definitely benefitted. They might not THINK they benefitted because the tax tables were more accurate - not giving them a tax refund the next year but that's a good thing - why give Uncle Sam a free loan? It's a lack of understanding.

Can Joe Biden Apologize His Way To The Presidency?

Roaming Charges: Biden in Plain Sight
+ Joe Biden will never again be more popular than he was the day before he entered the presidential race.
despite decades of service in the legislative ranks of Wall Street, he cunningly wrapped himself in the union label.
+ If you don’t think Biden’s the perfect person to represent the Democratic Party, you haven’t paid much attention to what the Democratic Party has become over the last 25 years: interventionist, anti-regulation, pro-austerity, merciless on black crime and devoted to Israel.
+ For 40 years Biden’s been a consistent neoliberal on economics and an ultra-hawk on foreign policy.
+ When Joe Biden ran from president in ’88, he was asked about his stance on Vietnam. He explained that he just wasn’t the antiwar protesting type. “I’m not big on flak jackets and tie-dye shirts. And you know. That’s not me. I’m serious.”
+ Biden, who has always thought the people at the bottom were the problem: “I’m not Bernie Sanders.
I don’t think 500 billionaires are the reason why we’re in trouble. The folks at the top are not bad guys… wealthy Americans are just as patriotic as poor folks.”
+ Biden defending the proposed balanced budget amendment in a senate floor speech, January 1995:
“When I argued that we should freeze federal spending, I meant Social Security as well; I meant Medicare and Medicaid; I meant veterans’ benefits; I meant every single, solitary thing in the government.”
+ Apparently, putting garlic in your vagina will not cure a yeast infection. It may, however, protect you from unwanted groping at a Joe Biden event…
+ Where Smokin’ Joe Biden stands
on marijuana: “I still believe it’s a gateway drug. I’ve spent a lot of my life as chairman of the Judiciary Committee dealing with this. I think it would be a mistake to legalize.”
+ Joe Biden: “First of all, I actually like Cheney, for real. I get on with him. I think he’s a decent man.”
+ Biden would be a more honorable politician if on an issue like abortion he would simply say as a Catholic he opposed it on moral grounds. Fine. That’s not what he does. He waffles and
tries to restrict abortions so that in a practical sense they become only available to the rich.
+ There will be one salutary effect of Biden becoming the Democrats’ nominee. It should obliterate the old sawhorse that no matter how odious the candidate we must hold our noses &
vote for him because the future of the Supreme Court hangs in the balance.
Clarence Thomas, John Roberts and Alito have their seats largely thanks to Biden,
who was one of the ranking members of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
People ask, how can older black voters trust Biden more than Bernard Sanders? After all,
Biden authored the 1994 Crime Bill
and Sanders marched with (or in the proximity of) Martin Luther King.
He’s always been harsh on black “crime,”
as opposed to Sanders, who marched with King (and apparently learned nothing from the experience except how to exploit it in a campaign ad) and then voted for the Biden Crime Bill.

The violence in Venezuela today against peaceful protesters is criminal.
Maduro's regime is responsible for incredible suffering.
The U.S. must stand with the National Assembly & Guaidó in their efforts to restore democracy through legitimate, internationally monitored elections.

Nancy got her man in Biden
Pelosi Warns Democrats Need to Be ‘Mainstream’ in 2020: Trump Might Not Respect Election Results
“If we win by four seats, by a thousand votes each, he’s not going to respect the election,” said Ms. Pelosi, recalling her thinking in the run-up to the 2018 elections.
“He would poison the public mind. He would challenge each of the races; he would say you can’t seat these people,” she added.
“We had to win. Imagine if we hadn’t won — oh, don’t even imagine. So, as we go forward, we have to have the same approach.”
she doesn’t “automatically trust the president to respect the results of any election short of an overwhelming defeat.”
her “coldblooded” plan for decisively ridding themselves of Mr. Trump:
Do not get dragged into a protracted impeachment bid that will ultimately get crushed in the Republican-controlled Senate, and
do not risk alienating the moderate voters who flocked to the party in 2018 by drifting too far to the left.

So, no impeachment, no Medicare-for-all, etc, etc.
Straight up neo-con, neo-liberalism, hands off BigFinance, BigCorp, the wealthy. Nancy's platform, bull words, only slightly to the left of Repugs.
iow, no ing change, no progress, no problems solved by the Dems.
America is ed and un able. Both parties are corrupted by BigDonor.
Now that's funny!
Plus Rand Paul would’ve never made ‘Privatize Medicare’ a topic in the campaign
Not that Rand wouldn’t agree, but that’s a top 5 most stupid political move I remember, tbh
Ukraine will bring down the grabber.
Why not? Trump grabbed his way into it, if you know what I mean.
What has he accomplished in over his 42 years off public office
Just name 2 things
Joe Biden: I really like Cheney!
