“Obstructionism” is a chronic and destructive tool the Republican Party use against President Biden and inhibits his ability to govern and protect the public. Case in point is “consumer protection”. Biden has proposed sweeping reform of excessive bank fees that costs the working class billions of dollars a year. Biden wants to place a ceiling on bank overdraft fees. Currently banks charge an average of $35. Biden wants to set a $8 ceiling. But Republicans who continue to protect the banking industry/Wall Street want to kill the initiative and have filed a lawsuit in the North Texas Judicial District Court (a hot bed of Trump appointed Judges) to stop it!
This Biden/Democratic initiative would save working class families over $10 billion/year in excess banking fees. It’s like giving the public a $10 billion tax cut, but Republicans say NO! The GOP want to protect the banks and their excessive profits, Democrats want to protect the working class. And they have used the tool of “legal obstructionism” to kill this essential benefit to the public. They constant use lawsuits to hamper Biden/Democrats agenda.
Another example is Student Loan forgiveness initiative Biden/Democrats have proposed on several occasion over the last three years. Every time, Republicans have opposed it and obstructed it via Republican State Lawsuits or by the Republican controlled House of Representatives in Congress.
Again, its quite obvious ….
Democrats support the working class and consumer protection.
Republicans support Big Business and rich individuals.
The evidence is overwhelming now and for the last several decades.
