Credit should be given where credit is due. Joe Biden’s stimulus package did more to help working people than almost any other piece of legislation in the last few decades.

Of course, that’s a pretty low bar. But through direct payments and extended unemployment benefits, the American Rescue Plan boosted incomes for most working-class and middle-class Americans. It created a temporary child tax credit. It extended generous unemployment benefits through September. And it bailed out state and local governments to prevent a return to austerity.

Biden’s stimulus bill was a big shift from Barack Obama’s stingy response to the 2008 crisis and Donald Trump’s tax cut orgy. But the question for working people is not where Biden’s heart is at. It’s this: who holds the power in his administration?
