We've been through these a million times. I'm for both a substantial raise in min wage, and substantial money to help people hurt by COVID. It needs to be done the right way though in a way that helps the most people and hurts the least amount. Good implementation of ideas that work well is more important than blindly implementing flawed slogans.
You're right, we have been through this a million times, and each time you've failed to illustrate how these policies would hurt more people than they would help and what the viable alternatives are.

And again, if Biden didn't think they were good policies, he should have been honest instead of getting people's hopes up and then kicking them in the dick.
