Biden Fights For The American Dream

3 Women Arm in Arm With Flowers

Biden already FOUGHT Big Pharma and WON EVERY AMERICAN ON MEDICARE a cap for ALL THEIR MEDICINES of $3,300 in 2024 and ONLY $2,000 in 2025!

In fact, Biden wants to GIVE EVERY AMERICAN the same low cap on ALL THEIR MEDICINES each year of $2,000!

If it weren’t for Big Money Republicans and a few too many Big Money Democrats like Joe Manchin, WE WOULD ALREADY BE ENJOYING many of the benefits of the AMERICAN DREAM!

Biden’s Build Back Better proposed:

  • universal 3-month paid family medical sick leave, with an inclusive definition of family, so workers can care for a loved one not related by blood
  • universal 3-month paid new baby leave
  • 3 days of grief leave per year when a loved one dies
  • $15 minimum wage
  • 2 years of free community college
  • free preschool for every child
  • funding to build new schools and modernize older schools (many old schools still have dangerous lead paint)
  • over $20 billion for new and renovated affordable housing and rental assistance
  • eliminate zoning barriers to affordable housing
  • job training and apprenticeship programs
  • make permanent the Child Tax Credit that cut child poverty in half
  • cheap high quality child care, limiting the cost to 7% of income for most families, to save the average family $14,800 each year
  • dental and vision benefits for Medicare
  • funding for conservation jobs protecting our public lands and water
  • investments in clean energy

Unfortunately, with Congress so closely divided between Democrats and Republicans, Big Money Democrats constantly tipped the scales and blocked all these plans.

Biden is still fighting for the American Dream!

Biden’s March 2024 State of the Union speech proposed:

  • providing access to preschool for all children 3 and 4 years old, to improve their high school and college graduation rates
  • expanding high-quality tutoring and summer learning to make sure every child can read by 3rdgrade
  • legislation to protect our children online
  • connecting businesses and high schools for vocational training
  • capping the price of insulin at $35 for ALL Americans
  • removing poisonous lead pipes so every child can drink clean water without the risk of getting brain damage
  • providing affordable high-speed internet for every American no matter where they live
  • capping prescription drug costs at $2,000 a year for ALL Americans
  • expanding Medicare’s ability to lower the prices of 500 medicines
  • spending $12 billion to improve women’s health research
  • making permanent his tax credits that save $800 per person per year reducing health care premiums
  • an annual tax credit of $400 per month to help Americans buy homes
  • building and renovating 2 million affordable homes to bring rents down
  • restoring his expired Child Tax Credit that cut child poverty in half
  • cutting the federal deficit $3 trillion more by making big corporations and the very wealthy finally pay their fair share
  • raising $500 billion over the next 10 years by making billionaires pay a minimum tax of 25% (now billionaires pay lower tax rates than us regular Americans)
  • ending huge tax breaks for Big Pharma, Big Oil, private jets, and executive pay
  • raising the corporate minimum tax to at least 21%
  • a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines
  • universal gun background checks 
  • stronger penalties on fentanyl trafficking

Unlike Republicans, Biden Fights Violence, Crime & Gun Massacres

Biden invested $15 billion in fighting crime, spending it on public safety:

  • more police officers
  • more community violence prevention workers
  • more crisis responders
  • more mental health workers
  • youth intervention and diversion programs
  • crime gun investigations
  • arresting more repeat offenders and gang members

In the last year of Trump’s administration, we had the largest increase in murders ever recorded.

  • Under Biden, we are now seeing historic declines in violent crime, including homicides.

Biden is also fighting domestic violence by ramping up enforcement of the Violence Against Women Act.

Biden passed the most comprehensive gun safety law in 30 years, the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act.  This bill:

  • created incentives to encourage states to pass red flag laws to remove weapons from people found dangerous to themselves or others.
  • prevented more people found guilty of domestic abuse from owning a gun by expanding it from spouses and former spouses to also include dating partners.
  • established the first federal gun trafficking and straw purchasing law to catch people enabling gun violence.
  • Enhanced background checks for gun purchasers under 21 years old.

Biden took more executive actions to reduce gun crimes than any other president.

  • He clamped down on ghost guns.
  • He launched new law enforcement strike forces to reduce gun trafficking in the worst areas.
  • He clamped down on the worst gun dealers connected to the most gun violence.

Biden fights to ban assault rifles and fights for universal background checks to buy any gun.

He established the first Office of Gun Violence Prevention in the White House.
