    “strongest safety net in American history” yeah can people stop making up outright lies about Biden? He’s barely doing anything, I have two cats and they both probably get less sleep

      You could have bothered to read even the first paragraph of the article before commenting…

      Just two years after orchestrating the largest expansion of the U.S. safety net in a half-century, Biden’s $2 trillion bet that big-government policies could vastly improve life for the poorest Americans is coming to a close.
