    Yeah, doing the bare minimum shouldn’t be newsworthy. “Hey boss, I showed up on time and got my day’s work done”? He’d probably say “Okay good? You want a cookie or something?”

      Is forgiving $132 billion in student debt the bare minimum of the job?

      Because if that’s your bar, then Biden is the only president in history who has done the bare minimum. If that’s your standard, I’d think you’d be jumping for joy that a president has finally, in the entire history of the US, done the bare minimum.

      That’s how you end up with things like the rail unions where nobody knows that the administration worked behind the scenes after the legislation to get the workers what they wanted from the companies – and they successfully did that.
