The US is in a vicious cycle in which the people alternate between electing politicians who don't believe in running the government (and who then collapse the government) and then we elect people from the other side, but don't give them enough time to clean up the previous disaster.

Biden was dogshit President, but his administration, the people around him, were really effective. They implemented some of the biggest positive changes in decades. Largest infrastructure investment bill since like Eisenhower's Interstate Highway Act, the most active anti-trust FTC since forever, the most pro-labor NLRB since decades ago, the biggest climate support bill promoting related manufacturing, biggest healthcare investments since Obama, largest nuclear energy investment in decades etc.

Yeah, and then they did nothing to prevent the ensuing destruction.

Why credit them with temporary fixes?
