It's what he didn't do.

And that is anything meaningful to help the poor and impoverished in the US. Hell, homelessness increased 18% just in the last year of his presidency.

But, presumably you pay for your own groceries, sign your own rent checks, open your own medical bills, and mind your own kids... so it's not a secret to you how little Joe Biden cared about people's living situation in the US.

Housing is mostly a local issue, so you should blame your city council, but the federal government can set incentives for local governments that take time to have an effect, which is what Biden's HUD did https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Housing_Supply_Action_Plan?wprov=sfla1.

Biden's HHS also worked to improve access to childcare, which is dollar for dollar the best way to reduce crime and help the poor at the margin. Trump is now dismantling that. https://nwlc.org/resource/the-trump-administrations-ongoing-attacks-on-child-care-working-women/

Because I am privileged to not be impoverished, I have the time to see what policies governments have put in place.
