No difference. You don't get to put them together for what you don't like and separate them for what you do.
Sounds like a goalpost to me.  :)

If you want to call it that. Either way, both the positive and negative are about the administration as a whole.

The initiatives are nice, but they're a far cry from renewing anyone's trust in government, they're capable of bungling the implementation of these initiatives too...

The programs could be failures but as of now he gets credit. If they fail or get bungled, then he gets the blame.
That is why we need goalposts, so everything isn't twisted.

ETA: Nice to see a strong R like @Dan write a fair piece without the political slant as is being done here.

I don’t think it should be difficult to give him credit for the things he gets right. Even if you absolutely hate him you still have plenty of other things  to get upset about.

Seems to have been the theme for many years.

I'm not politicizing anything. I like the initiatives and kudos to Biden for that. My distrust in government agencies has nothing to do with who is in power, and he's (IMHO) overpromising and bound to underperform by typing it to trust in government.

Yes, there's an element of distrust in government that has to do with the state of party politics in 2021 (I personally blame both sides for this, Obama and Trump both contributed to this significantly), but I'm not referring to that. Only to the fact that Biden is staking his initiatives on something bigger, which I think is a mistake.

If this is what toast looks like can I get a whole loaf? My investments are going through the roof.  :)

Wait, didn't you say you annuitized your investments and that was why the Trump rally didn't help you?

Trump's rally didn't help as much as I switched to gold. That was my mistake not his.
This is why they call me Mr Goalposts. Blame and credit is given by results, not political party.  :)

It did good but not like the market. That is why I said, "not as good".
I am not complaining.

One thing I like about this guy is he gives it to you straight. No sugar coating what is going on with Russia.

Um, Trump would have told Russia to just go right ahead, I don't want them as part of NATO and I don't want to pay NATO's bills anyways.
