  • Pensions protection act in 2006 encouraged the growth of employer sponsored savings accounts

  • Tax cuts and jobs act in 2017 simplified taxes and was welcomed by everyone in both parties

  • First step act in 2018 improved prison conditions

  • USMCA in 2018 was a functional version of NAFTA

I'm not saying these were perfect (First step act has some issues, for example), but all of these were pushed by Republicans and had demonstrably positive effects. Blindly implying the right never makes good decisions makes you no better than the people you think you're against.

This is honestly the first time I have ever heard anything positive about USMCA. What exactly do you think it did better?
