Democratic President Franklin Roosevelt presided over the worse economic recession in the history of the country and he often entered heated debates with members of the GOP over government spending. Particularly, spending on his New Deal policies. Similarly, President Biden and GOP lawmakers are locked in high steaks negotiation over a number of issues. Perhaps if the president, the speaker of the house, or another party leader brought a huge ice cream cake like one pictured above to the negotiations, they could put a freeze on the current hostile language between the two parties and come up with a sweet deal all sides could stomach.
