In what he got accomplished in one term with a very adversarial situation. Besides the obudsman bill which concurrently helped with environmental issues and climate change (and some other stuff it was a really good bill), the no surprise billing, he fought well for loan forgiveness and even though they blocked him at every turn he got the loan amount can never go above prinicipal and payments based on income along with eventual forgivess if payments are regularly made, put a floor of 15% for corporate tax so they can't deduct to zero, had the irs work on doing taxes for folks, had a bunch of things with annoying fees and bs regular folk had to deal with (this is something really every legislatore and president should be doing), finally got us to were we are not in an active conflict since basically 911 so finally after almost 25 years, had medicare negotiate drug prices (oh also capped insulin costs), its sad to have to mention it but he supported a science based pandemic response with masking and vaccines winding them down as hospital stopped feeling the strain, all sorts of things that basically had to unwind bs from trump while not breaking the law in doing it. Got rid of no compete and yeah that was overturned but it shows the fight he had. I cannot point to a single term of any other administration that accomplished as much relative good as his did given the crazy ass situation we have today.
