As Trump is about to remind us a second time, the presidency actually has a fuckton of power behind it.

Why is it when Democrats are in office they claim no power, and Republicans are in office we find out the rules are made up and the points don't matter?

Some things Biden could have done.

Built housing through HUD and charged no more than cost for rent.
Create a federal grocery store that only operates in food deserts and monopoly areas. Prices are at cost, not market.
Federal hiring as a last resort. Anyone willing to work but unable to find a job can get this job. Duties are being a gopher in your local government building and attending 4 hours of job training every work day.
Directing the construction of federal wind, solar, and battery complexes to further shift us into clean energy.
Directly paying gas stations to install level 3 chargers, starting in areas with few public chargers.

Inflation is a piss poor excuse to do nothing.
