Because they stopped Covid Stimulus and had a massive cell phone airwave auction.

January outlays fell 37% to $346 billion, partly as they did not include $142 billion in individual stimulus payments sent in January 2021.

The surplus for the month also was helped by the recognition of $70 billion in proceeds from a wireless spectrum auction, a U.S. Treasury official said. - Yahoo

To Stop 'Endless Cycle of Death,' Biden Urged to Push Emergency Patent Waiver

"President Biden must exercise his current power and bulk up Covid vaccine, test, and treatment production abroad," more than 80 civil society groups write in a new letter.

Biden isn't leading America, nor the world, on Covid. Shameful.

Biden won't waive the patents, even though the recipes were all discovered using federal money. It is pretty clear to me that Biden is protecting big pharma profits, over human lives. And, now the democrats are pushing to put an end to the pandemic, by telling us all to simply live with it. Biden and democrats are clearly following money, not science. Same as the republicans are doing.

So, I don't see the leadership others somehow see. I simply see another traitor in the white house, chasing donor cash...
 
This is a good (if old) explainer on why 'waive the patents' is a simplistic view.

My wife and I have both been poked 3 times. I've been tested four times and my wife once. We've got masks galore.

Would be curious to know how Matt measures "success". Inflation at at a rate higher than in 40 years, and many things are up much more than the inflation rate. Our southern border is a joke. We were almost to energy independence, but now we are sending billions once again tot he Middle East, etc. China is no completely unchecked and we can see what Russia thinks of Biden. Maybe Matt is Russian?

All of that is beyond Biden's control, to the best of my knowledge.

This has been the strongest recovery in US history.

I'm not a fan of Biden's, but he's so much better than his predecessor that just not failing to win is a saving grace to this country and the world.

Limiting the damage done by Trump is going to be incredibly expensive and painful. But it's far better than the alternative.

Biden the racist.

https://www.knoxfocus.com/archives/this-weeks-focus/is-joe-biden-a-racist/

Back in 2012 in my now inactive blog (haroldblack.blogspot.com) I asked “Is Joe Biden a racist?” I noted his long history of making racist remarks. Those remarks along with a record in the Senate of opposing busing, opposing school integration and strong friendships with racist southern senators reinforced the notion that Biden was indeed a racist. I could never understand how the media and prominent blacks gave him a pass. Republicans were not given the same treatment. For example, Trent Lott, the senator from Mississippi was literally forced to resign from his leadership position for his praise of Strom Thurman, the segregationist senator from South Carolina. Biden, on the other hand, had similar praise for Robert Byrd, the Democrat senator from West Virginia, who had been a member of the Ku Klux Klan. But there was little criticism of Biden. Biden owes his nomination to Jim Clyburn, the black Democrat from South Carolina and the overwhelming support of black South Carolina voters in that state’s primary. This is the same Biden who as president called his senior advisor, Cedric Richmond “boy”. Not a peep of criticism from Clyburn.

It is almost incomprehensible that a politician could survive even a few of these “gaffes” let alone one who is now president of the United States. Here are some of his comments listed in no chronological order.

Regarding the reluctance of some minorities to the vaccination Biden said “Latinx” people don’t want to get vaccinated because they’re worried they’ll be deported. And for blacks, “They are used to being experimented on—the Tuskegee Airmen and others,”

He apparently confused the World War II fighter pilots with the notorious governmental study of syphilis among black men—the Tuskegee Experiment.

During the campaign he said to a largely black radio audience that if they were unsure of whether to vote for him or Trump, then “you ain’t black!”

Biden said unlike the African American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things.

Asked by a black reporter on whether he had taken a cognitive test, Biden said “That’s like saying you . . . before you got in this program, you’re take [sic] a test whether you’re taking cocaine or not,” Biden said. “What do you think? Huh? Are you a junkie?”

As a senator, Biden sponsored legislation to restrict busing and said that forced busing to desegregate schools would cause his children to “grow up in a racial jungle.”

As for reparations, Biden said “I don’t feel responsible for the sins of my father and grandfather,” he said in 1975. “I feel responsible for what the situation is today, for the sins of my own generation. And I’ll be damned if I feel responsible to pay for what happened 300 years ago.”

“We’ve got to recognize that the kid wearing a hoodie may very well be the next poet laureate and not a gangbanger,”

“The data shows young black entrepreneurs are just as capable of succeeding given the chance as white entrepreneurs are,” Biden said. “But they don’t have lawyers. They don’t have, they don’t have accountants, but they have great ideas.”

When addressing a black group he said that the only time that many blacks would be together at a Republican gathering, they would be wearing white coats.

He referred to President Obama as “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.”

He said “you cannot go into a 7-11 or a Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.

Biden opined why the schools in Iowa perform better than those in Washington D.C. saying “There’s less than 1% of the population in Iowa that is African American. There is probably less than 4 or 5% that are minorities. What is in Washington? So look, it goes back to what you start off with, what you’re dealing with.”

Then-Vice President Biden told a predominately black audience that then-Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s proposed financial regulation would “put y’all back in chains.”

He also said, “We bring social workers in to homes and parents to help them deal with how to raise their children. It’s not want they don’t want to help. They don’t know quite what to do.”

So Biden is truly the Teflon politician when it comes to racism. His comments are shrugged off as mere “gaffes.” I know of no other politician who commits so many “gaffes” and is ignored. Again, I ask “Is Joe Biden a racist?”
 
Wow. Someone praises CPAC white supremacists, votes for Trump twice, praises laws preventing teaching anything that makes white people uncomfortable, but Biden is racist!

Think this helps or hurts democrats in 2022/2024.
I would hope for solidarity and a show of strength rather than her aggressive hate against anyone not supporting her far left agenda progressive agenda.
I think its disrespectful to Joe for her to counter & grandstand.

I'd bet Biden is more of a racist than Trump.
