IRA expanded healthcare subsidies which has resulted in about 45 million Americans utilizing ACA or expanded Medicaid, a big increase since 2020. While Trump and the Republicans could scale back ACA or at a minimum let the expanded subsidies expire, it will be politically costly with so many relying on these programs for healthcare coverage.

Great review. During the campaign, I picked a half dozen Dem leaders on Twitter and asked them why they were not on the campaign trail selling his accomplishments. It's pathetic.

An excellent review, and one with which I agree for the most part. I think both of us agree about Kamala. As a resident of the Bay Area, I'm not thrilled with her past in San Francisco as DA. But she was a good state attorney general, as is Bonta, whom I like a lot more. I like Biden a lot and I still don't understand what his party did to him. You can't lose a debate when your opponent lies non stop. But Merry Christmas James! I still haven't had a chance to read all your work, but I hope to over Christmas.
