It’s been one year since Joe Biden took office as the forty-sixth U.S. President.
In that time, the Biden administration has added 6.4 million jobs to the economy, decreased unemployment, passed the one point nine trillion-dollar package in coronavirus relief and the one point two trillion-dollar infrastructure bill. But, the pandemic is still raging and inflation is at seven percent, a forty year high.
