WASHINGTON\u2014Faced with obstacles to his policy proposals that threatened to derail their passage, President Joe Biden on Tuesday reportedly expressed his concern that his ambitious agenda could be stalled by him not really caring if it happens or not. \u201cI came into office with a mandate to enact big, bold legislation that would improve the lives of everyday Americans, but we still face the significant obstacle of it not particularly mattering to me whether we ever actually do that,\u201d said Biden, warning that campaign promises like eliminating student loan debt, passing large-scale infrastructure reform, and reducing income inequality don\u2019t have a chance of happening if he can\u2019t get himself on board. \u201cWe can talk all we want about protecting voting rights or improving our healthcare system, but ultimately it doesn\u2019t matter if I don\u2019t have any real stake in making those changes happen. Frankly, it\u2019s possible we will never get these things across the finish line unless I start to give a shit.\u201d Biden also cautioned that even if he did start ramping up public pressure to enact his ambitious agenda, it could still be stalled in Congress by dozens of Democrats who also don\u2019t give a flying fuck whether or not it ever passes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
