    Brainwash bullshit, yikes. Even if these things were true it was congress that passes laws and enacts legislation and not the president dictating this shit.

        That wouldn’t be something I would call a significant thing he did. That EO provided extra medicaid and medicare funding which has been described as “not enough”

        Despite that executive order millions of Americans are still uncovered. He ended the pandemic funding, he ended covid testing and this does absolutely dick for the majority of Americans that have health care but have things like HDHPs and I still can’t afford to go to the doctor.

        Sure the president enacted this, it isn’t significant and without an act of congress it won’t even last a year. He made that EO because his landmark legislation Build Back Better failed in congress and that was a make up provision which was less than intended.

          You have valid complaints here, none of which were originally stated. You said:

          Brainwash bullshit, yikes. Even if these things were true it was congress that passes laws and enacts legislation and not the president dictating this shit.

          All I was trying to do was point out that this statement is blatantly false with evidence from the original meme.

          I agree with most of your sentiment, EOs are not long term solutions. You can’t say that the president is not responsible for them though.
