I’m not trying to persuade you that these policies are good or bad.</span></p><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span>The point instead is that the U.S. federal government remains a powerful force that can alter the course of American life.

The Covid vaccine</span></h2><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span>The pandemic was so miserable and divisive that it can be easy to overlook the triumph of the federal government’s vaccine development. Before Covid, the creation of any new vaccine took years. But Operation Warp Speed — a public-private partnership that received $18 billion in federal funding — led to the discovery of a Covid vaccine within months. That speed likely saved millions of lives worldwide.</span></p><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span>Yes, the pandemic was also a case study of government failure. Republican politicians (including Donald Trump, who deserves some credit for Warp Speed) refused to embrace the vaccines, leading to hesitancy that cost lives. And many Democratic-run school districts shut down for a year or longer, causing lasting damage to children.</span></p><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span>All of this, though, was a reminder of the power of government, for good and ill.</span></p><h2 style="color:#000;font:700 24px/31px nyt-cheltenham,georgia,serif;margin:0 0 10px"><span>2.

That’s about three times as high as during Trump’s presidency. It’s more than twice as high as under Barack Obama.</span></p><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span>Late last year, Biden changed course.

Taxes</span></h2><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span>As with immigration, you sometimes hear the claim that federal laws don’t much matter — and particularly that the wealthy can find ways to avoid any tax increases.
