Are we better off

Are we better off today than we were last Saturday?  Am I asking for a judgement on Joe Biden't performance with just a few days in office?  Well no.  I want to be fair.  Let me also take a few moments to point out some things.

For some reason there are folks who expected Jor Biden to take the Presidential oath and then everything would be okay.  All of our trouble would disappear.  It doesn't work that way.  He is our President, not our wizzard.  He has already accomplished a lot though.

Mr Biden stopped our withdrawal from the World Health Organization.  That alone is big, especially during a pandemic.  He asked us all to unite toward a common goal.  He extended the nationwide moratorium on evictions and foreclosures to March 31.  He also ended construction of that ridiculous border wall.  Oh and he canceled the Muslim ban too.  Biden has held frequent press briefings too and has a very competent press secretary,  We have rejoined the Paris Climate Agreement.  Students can breathe a little easier after President Biden extended the pause on student loan repayment and interest to September 30.  Yup, September.  Eight months from now.  Biden has put in place COVID-19 proticals aimed and bringing this pandemic to an end.  He issued an order too prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.

This is just a tiny bit of what President Joe Biden has done in less than three days.  Yes, we are better off, at least in my opinion.  More good things are coming too.  We need to help him though.  We need to show our support and to make positive comments.  I think down the road we are going to find ourselves MUCH better off!
