From a press release:
Today [December 16] President Biden will sign a proclamation establishing the Frances Perkins National Monument in Newcastle, Maine, to honor the historic contributions of America’s first woman Cabinet Secretary and the longest-serving Secretary of Labor.
Frances Perkins was the leading architect behind the New Deal and led many labor and economic reforms that continue to benefit Americans today. During her 12 years as Secretary of Labor under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, she envisioned and helped create Social Security ...
Frances Perkins deserves more credit for the creation of Social Security than anyone else.

Nowadays people would derisively call FDR and Frances Perkins communists, and moan about how the wealthiest nation in the history of the world can’t afford to do simple and relatively inexpensive things far less wealthy countries are somehow able to afford without any trouble at all. We’ve really come a long way, haven’t we?
good thing Biden is spending his last few weeks on the important things....
I dont know how long it takes you to sign your name, but I doubt it's going to take Biden too long. It's not like he's drafting the proclamation or building the monument himself. Calm down.
