"Investment in renewable energy" is meaningless. What that means is private companies get tax break and investment incentives. And that means people making startups, getting government funding for the initial investment, and then pocketing the money through the extraction of surplus value from its workers. You start a business for free, pay less in taxes, and that's it. A business that sells solar panels, a business that's trying to make carbon capture profitable (read: it's not), a business painting rooftops white. These are all ultimately meaningless things that don't do anything to address the problem of climate change. The solution is to string up oil executives on the National Mall and nationalize the industry. Then to stop pulling the shit out of the ground.
Investment in infrastructure basically goes the same way. Incentivize people starting construction companies, get contracts with DOT, hire immigrants and undocumented workers, extract their surplus value while painting crumbling bridges and asphalting roads in rich neighborhoods.
The reduction in inflation was The Fed which is largely separated from The Executive unless republicans are in the white house. They actually know how to put pressure on people. If Trump was still there, we would see a reduction in the acceleration of inflation as well. Please note that inflation has not actually been reduced, the rate at which inflation grows has come down.
There has been no growth for the bottom 20%. They simply stopped measuring most of those people and the rest have either died of covid or been pulled up on the spreadsheets by the wealthy getting wealthier.
His administration just gave up on abortion because they want moderate Republicans instead of radical feminists. And they haven't protected shit. Republicans will take away contraceptives if they want. Leaving it up to the states is a cop-out.
He sure as shit hasn't improved the immigration process.
Biden has kill millions of vulnerable people. We're not talking about being perfect. We're talking about failing to do even the most minute tiny bit of anything about these problems outside of "let private companies do it" and "states rights."
If you think Biden is holding back fascism you're a fucking moron.

GOOD post
Reminder that the nubers for 2022 from BloombergNEF have China spending ($546 billion) nearly 4x as much as the USA on green energy investment.
