Biden's legislation to protect democracy is long overdue. Previous presidential administrations found voting fraud is very rare. Yet current GOP lawmakers have filed over 200 bills in 43 states to suppress eligible voters. Apparently, current republicans are afraid of democracy. Under Trump, GOP has lost control of congress and the white house. When desperate people cannot win legally, they resort to cheating. Courts recognize that voter suppression is a bigger problem than voting fraud. Lebron James and other pro athletes join civil rights movement to fight voter suppression.
Every single GOP Senator voted for Trump¡¯s Tax Entitlements for the Wealthy. Zero voted for COVID Relief for American families. That says alot.
Thank God there's enough of us to move the rest of us forward.

According to Urban institute, Biden's covid relief bill is the most far reaching anti-poverty legislation in 50 years. Previously, president Lyndon Johnson successfully reduced US poverty rate by improving social safety net. In addition to stimulus checks, there are also unemployment benefits, obamacare subsidies, medicaid expansion, food stamps expansion, rental assistance, welfare aid and child tax credit. Columbia university estimates 12 million Americans could be lifted out of poverty. Pew research polls reveal 70% of Americans support Biden relief bill.
