Democrats, Biden Administration had a great week

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2022/04/just-this-week.html

A million barrels of oil a day added to production
Insulin bill passed the house, capping the price at $35 a month
Unemployment dropped to its lowest post-pandemic point at 3.6%
And we had a President, not diminished at all by his age, demonstrate his resolve in a speech in Warsaw

There were no such weeks between 2016 and 2020.

The right guy is in the White House and he needs more support from Congress. Three more senators ought to do the trick.

for the short but nice 'pick-me-up'! I (and perhaps we all) need cheering up. This is one of them. The insulin at $35 is going to be a biggie, since I do have friends that rely on this, the lower cost should help them quite a bit.

The lower unemployment rate...well, I think that unemployment rates as low as they are, are probably getting to the generally fixed, institutionalized rate, that is, the unemployment rate won't go much lower due to probably things that are 'fixed' or 'baked in' due to our Country's infrastructure, a major, major change in this 'infrastructure' make-up would be required to noticeably drop the 3.6% number down much more.

A million barrels of oil? Pretty good, I'd say, I didn't realize that his actions could influence the markets that much, so definitely a good thing, I've noticed prices at the pump going down a bit.

4. Isn't it the DNC's responsibility to put people out there to give credit?

Maybe I live in an area that's too blue for the DNC to run ads, but it would sure be nice to see a media bombardment with everything that is going on right now.

We know what the GOP's attack lines are. They have no plan for anything, just obstruction.
