You need to be more clear. You are mixing state rights with federal powers. Biden only issued mandates for federal workers/offices. All other mandates were locally issued.

Are you talking about Washington, aka- politicians or are you talking about the executive branch of government? You can't swap them in and out as if they're the same thing. Biden is not all of Washington.

And back to the fed... Powell uttered stong support for those trillion dollar packages. So we're back to you're take not being valid. It is ludicrous to blame only politicians for fiscal policy that was encouraged by the fed.

No one decided to keep the economy closed. People stopped going out and businesses paused or decreased activity because they didn't want to get sick. Biden didn't "close the economy". How dumb does that sound? How would that even work?

You are right about one thing - all the government had to do was quickly distribute the vaccines. Unfortunately, the administration during the time vaccines came out was incapable of doing such and the problem escalated until the Biden administration took over and vaccine pacing finally caught up with the rest of the 1st world countries.
