With the course we're on -- killing transparent data & analysis of US economy and many other important areas, like vaccines -- we're doomed. US policy will be less effective at helping the American people -- until we return government control to fact based leaders.

❤️ @rooseveltinstitute.org report, 161 ways gov could be more effective. This is one is good. I think another good one is work with constituencies that benefit from specific policies, so more people that benefit from something know why. If only Nov 2024 voters knew what Biden admin had achieved, 😞

Extending the health care tax credits for one year costs about the same as Trump’s bailout of Argentina.
