The disastrous jobs report from April 2021 also serves as another blow to the Biden administration. The dismal numbers from last month furthermore come amid an ongoing labor shortage. Many critics of the Biden administration believe the president is contributing to the aforementioned shortage with ongoing unemployment benefits.
Finally, amid gas shortages, Biden remains under renewed fire from the GOP for canceling the Keystone pipeline four months prior.
The element of infrastructure
At this time, President Biden is working to reach a deal with Republican lawmakers on an infrastructure package. During this month alone, the president and vice president have engaged in multiple meetings with bipartisan lawmakers; Biden even claims that he wants to reach a deal on infrastructure before next month gets here.
Republicans, meanwhile, claim that there is a ways to go before an agreement on an infrastructure bill arrives. GOP lawmakers maintain that they will not acquiesce to leftists’ agenda to drive up taxes on the American public. At this time, however, Biden remains supportive of numerous tax increases.
