With respect, it looked like a “try” in many cases but consider his decades in politics and knowing likely outcomes of any given proposal. Then consider his best of the best, Ivy League-educated cabinet, advising him on every chess move. If you don’t look at both sides, you might find yourself in a disingenuous ruse.
I tried but what could I do?
How could I have known Joe Manshun would say no?
We didn’t have a filibuster proof majority (which we could have eliminated with a simple rule change like we did with the debt ceiling- but oddly didn’t for infrastructure).
Oh those legal challenges came out of left field and our best and brightest from Harvard never saw it coming.
I co-authored the bankruptcy bill that exempted student debt when I was a Senator but now my intentions are different. Student debtors, I’m on your side now. Don’t you see?
I mean none of these things got better under any president in recent memory, they just got eroded a lot less quickly under certain ones
Didn’t Obama try to come up with a healthcare solution that was undermined by conservatives? Which Trump tried to neuter as hard as possible?
Didn’t Biden try to forgive student loans, which conservatives kept stopping?
I feel the “both sides are doing it” argument isn’t entirely true.

Tried =/= improved lives
Also when did i say both sides same? Never did
Trump was literally on Twitter bullying the fed chair to not raise rates, threatening to fire him. The inflation situation is very uniquely his fault.
So inflation started after trump? Its not inherent in the system?
And he bitched about the Fed under Obama for keeping interest rates low and claimed that the real unemployment rate was like 42%.
