I suspect that many of the infrastructure bill's billions will vanish into consultants and studies and NGOs without nearly as much concrete improvement as was promised.
I hope that's true, I've not seen much progress in my neck of the woods. And I saw today that reconstruction of the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore has been pushed back to 2030 at earliest.
I agree with the more generous assessment on policy and wouldn’t describe him as “plainly senile,” though I guess it’s an imprecise enough word to cover a wide range of cognitive decline.
As you note, Biden will be remembered for the significant achievements of his first two years and reviled for his decision not to hand off power sooner in his last two.
Thanks for this. Yes he ended the neoliberal era and saved a lot of lives and avoided a lot of misery caused by Covid. My own family is proof. I still don't understand why he didn't hype his achievements like the old school politician I thought he was and why he didn't send out VP Harris to hype them. Also - why did Obama force Hillary Clinton on the Democrats to run after he finished his second term. He beat her in the original match up and chose Biden as his VP.
The fact that "Biden" governed like Elizabeth Warren suggests that Joe Biden was never actually running anything
Biden’s legacy is the autopen and open border. His blanket pardons of his family and Fauci destroyed many precedents. Unelected commissars ran the country, then forced him out with no primary “for democracy”: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/for-democracy-dnc-got-biden-obama-movie

Not true. A lot of building has happened with the money already. Projects got underway when he was president.
