Lew loves to come in and spout his shit about what the Democrats have done for black people when it's clear as day the policies of Democrats and Republicans are night and fucking day.
Here are some of how they helped people and by extension Black people:
- The ACA made it so that kids could stay on their parents Health Insurance until they turned 26.
- Parents were given $7000 trade in credit for buying a new car as part of the Cash For Clunkers program.
- Increased Tax Refunds for having kids.
- Pell Grants in college were expanded under Obama.
- The Democrats allowed former felons to qualify for SBA loans.
- The incarceration of black people went down due to Federal sentencing reform under Obama. That was one of the very first things undone under Trump by Jeff Sessions's Justice Department.
- Created an entire program to ensure that HBCU's got federal funding. They got 4 billion in funding a year. This was further expanded by Trump.
- Removed military grade equipment from Police Departments countrywide. Reversed by Trump.
- More persons were able to refinance their mortgages. Most persons saved an average of $40,000.
- They changed the requirements and lowered the fees on FHA loans. Black people using FHA loans increased 50%.
Not to mention the fact that many were FINALLY able to get Health Insurance. For the FIRST FUCKING TIME. You keep talking about Justice Reform. It was a BI-PARTISAN team of Democrats and Republicans that got it done. That effort was spearheaded PRIMARILY by Van Jones.
