Among the many things that I don't understand, I don't understand why anyone would actuall v**e FOR Biden. I understand why someone might v**e against Trump, but that is not really a v**e FOR Biden. He has accomplshed not one signature event in his 40+years in office. One can not cite single thing as a reason to v**e FOR Biden. In his acceptance speech ther was no mention o any past accomplishment that he could point out as a major reason for his e******n. Other than Trump bad, Biden good, as there a compelling reason mfor v****g FOR Biden

I was in charge of pension and 401(k) plans during their administration and from my point of view and for the 60k employees, regaining equity and turning around the bush economy was a cornerstone achievement along with a cheaper alternative to COBRA under the ACA guaranteeing pre-existing condition coverage and children dependent definition changed to age 26. Did your family benefit from these policies?

Ha, , I didn't know any of that. Good to know. I thought his biggest accomplishment was taking up space. Thanks

That’s the usual expectation of being VP.

For a balanced listing, this is what came up on Pence’s tenure. These were the most flattering. The reports from his home state Indiana papers weren’t nice to him at all.

Many of those bills he was just a co-signer. And as far as bailing out wall street, The Tarp bill was signed by Bush before Obama was elected. Ang the auto bailout bill was signed by Bush before Obama took office. My medicare meds did not go down by i penny under Obama. And regardlees of Biden's help in passing the ACA that bill ripped away over 5 million private health plans from patients, as well as cause the health care premiums to skyrocket. And for the the first time in history taxed people for a non activity.

Why not research Biden’s website to review his agenda and plans for his Presidency. You might not like his agenda, but it would be prudent of you to do some homework, if you are serious, before posting such an uninformed question.

Read what Senator Biden did at the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings .
Then you will have something to talk about.

Don't confuse Trumpites with facts.

It's a little late to confuse boberic. When he posts "I don't understand", that is probably the most honest thing he has posted here. I believe on his tombstone it will say "he didn't understand".

I don't understand why some create threads without at least some thought or at least first doing a bit of homework. To act dumb when information is easily available displays little regard for seeking t***h.
That kind of thing exposes either ignorance or an unwillingness to learn.
