    Because any president doing this immediately comes across as a 5 year old pretending to have a magic wand.

    I’m looking at the list of a dozen items you made - you can’t just say “I want this” and not have a detailed plan for how it’s meant to be executed - where the money comes from, what effects it’s expected to have, etc.

    When you are proposing legislation that you know won’t be able to be made into law, you’re just virtue signaling since even you believe there’s no real-world impact. People are even frustrated with Bidens attempts as they are - I’ve definitely read frustrated comments here talking about how Bidens approach to relieving student debt is so poorly thought out that nobody will actually benefit.

      We’re very close to having one of those 5-year-olds with a magic wand get elected soon.

      It’s time for you to realize that the dynamics that you think are in place aren’t, or don’t work the way you expect them to. Maybe you should listen to some of the people you dismiss so easily.

      Or maybe you and others on this thread should just go ahead and downvote anything that doesn’t agree with you… and lose again.

        I can’t believe asking for how we’d pay for proposed policy changes and what they think the long term effects of their proposed policies will be is now controversial.

        What a time to be alive.
