The No Change Presidency

 After a month as president Joe Biden has already broken several major campaign promises.

There will be:

• No $2,000 checks.
• No minimum wage rises.
• No student debt forgiveness.
• No halting of deportations.
• No end of the war on Yemen.
• No return to the JCPOA.

As Alan MacLeod summarizes:

Biden began his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination in June 2019 at a Manhattan hotel, telling wealthy donors that “nothing would fundamentally change” under his presidency. After one month in office, it appears as if that is one campaign promise he is likely to keep.

The U.S. will also continue its wars on Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria.

We are left to guess where, not if, Biden will start another one.
