I wonder what Gaza will look like after this war. Israel says they want to cut ties, but then what? Gaza can't exactly build the infrastructure it needs for self sufficiency, and even if they could, Hamas would probably start nesting in it and Israel would blow it to smithereens.

This is what every President does. This is Trump's first year. Biden did a bit more, but Biden isn't doing anything rare.

As far as being 'bipartisan'

Only a dimwit/gullible sap wouldn't realize that what Biden said was a load of spin.

But, hey if Ken Burns said it, it must be true... :rolleyes:
"This great American stagnation has many causes, but the withering of investment is a major one. The economists and other experts who advise politicians have increasingly come to this conclusion, which explains why President Biden has made investment the centerpiece of his economic strategy — even if that isn’t always obvious to outsiders. He has signed legislation authorizing hundreds of billions of dollars to rebuild the transportation system, subsidize semiconductor manufacturing and expand clean energy. These are precisely the kinds of programs the private sector tends not to do on its own. All told, Biden has overseen the largest increase in federal investment since the Eisenhower era. Notably, the infrastructure and semiconductor bill both passed with bipartisan support, a sign that parts of the Republican Party are coming to question the neoliberal consensus. As was the case during the 1950s, the threat from a foreign rival — China, this time — is focusing some policymakers on the value of government investment.

There is plenty of reason to doubt that the country has reached a true turning point. Biden’s investment program remains much smaller in scale than Eisenhower’s, relative to the size of the economy. Many Republicans continue to oppose government investment, as the recent chaos in the House of Representatives indicates. It is possible that we are now living through a short exception to the country’s long investment slump.

Whatever happens, the stakes should be clear by now. A government that does not devote sufficient resources to the future will produce a society that is ultimately less prosperous, less innovative, less healthy and less mobile than it could be. The citizens of such a society will grow frustrated, and with good reason."

Your thesis regarding Biden's achievements is way, way off the mark.

Why not make one of your cliched insults your signature, since almost all of your posts end in one?

I don't think it is any secret that without US aid Israel would more than likely not exist.
