increased. i would also he is a protector of the court, no way he touches that, i don t think. all of the questions about changes to the court, reforms to the court, president biden dispatched very easily, talking about the tradition of giving it to an open panel. the document was put on a shelf and never revisited, but that s where the politics are. that s where that will be. anything can happen, we might be surprised. this is the presidents cabinet arriving today, and there are a little bit of interesting news today. they ve been so little turnover at the highest level of president biden s administration for these first two years. the very stark contrast about what we saw under the last president today, in fact we learned that a member of the cabinet, cabinet secretary is leaving. that is labor secretary marty walsh, leaving to go do the most marty walsh thing imaginable. he s going to be joining the national hockey league players
politics, but a message of seeking bipartisan goals and seeking bipartisan compromise is something that everybody likes to hear. with biden, he believes it, it s real, to the degree that you can only set what is real, that is a real thing about biden. he would like for there to be bipartisan accomplishments. i think they have a record to run on, particularly, when you think about the economy, which the entire story going into the mid term was, inflation was high, and we have not seen inflation like this in 30 years. they have the lowest unemployment rate since 1969. they ve created more jobs than any american president ever. they created the most manufacturing jobs since the 1950s. they have money being the plot from battery factories, manufacturing, in red areas, inflation reduction act is getting to those places. there s an actual story to be told about what the biden economy has looked like, and i don t think they have to there s always the sense in the last year, that they di
