Who, other than the most partisan of partisan Democrats, believes that the United States economy is doing well under Joe Biden’s stewardship?
Damn near nobody, that’s who.
And in case there is any doubt about why, James Bovard’s article for the New York Post should end the issue for once and for all.
Here are excerpts (more than I usually put up – apologies to Mr. Bovard):
After perennially and uncritically repeating President Biden’s false claims about cutting the federal budget deficit, The Washington Post admitted Sunday that Biden will double the deficit this year to $2 trillion.
The paper’s elite editors and reporters are mystified that “U.S. deficit explodes even as economy grows.”
But did the Beltway get suckered on a Biden boom that exists largely due to sham statistics?
Cynics now claim that the Commerce Department no longer refers to its Bureau of Economic Analysis but instead to Biden’s Economic Alterations.
Americans have seen years of bait-and-switch statistics — glorious job-growth numbers followed by downward revisions long after the victory lap.
Almost all the “errors” in federal economic reports have been biased in Biden’s favor.
How much of recent economic growth has been a statistical mirage or a political fraud?
Federal spending increased 16% in fiscal year 2023 — at the same time tax revenue plunged by 7%. Soaring budget deficits should be a surprise only to people who failed arithmetic in fifth grade.
Biden said in May he wanted federal courts to rule the president is entitled to unlimited spending thanks to his perverse interpretation of the 14th Amendment.
But the real problem there — and with Biden’s reckless spending — is with the 13th Amendment, which prohibited involuntary servitude.
Americans are increasingly seeing their financial independence ravaged thanks to DC’s plundering and blundering.
The dollar has lost 17% of its purchasing power since Biden became president.
Home mortgage rates have nearly tripled to 7.5%, and consumer credit-card interest rates have almost doubled.
Biden reminded listeners Monday his nickname was “Middle-Class Joe.”
That honorific is proof of the craven press coverage he has almost always received. In 1974, he moved into one of the largest mansions in Delaware.
NPR reported in 2019 that Biden had earned $17 million since leaving office.
His connections to an endless array of shell companies and wire transfers from shady foreigners are also untypical for the middle class.
Is the latest focus on Biden’s soaring deficits a sign the liberal elite is ready to toss him overboard ahead of the 2024 presidential election?
The fact that any journalistic venue takes anything Biden says about the economy seriously is a measure of how biased our media have been and how long they have been that way.
But is Mr. Bovard correct in his speculation that the only reason the Washington Post (and other such venues are, just now, deciding to notice the disconnect between Biden and economic reality because they understand that he has to be replace on the 2024 ballot? That putting up a semi (or more) senile man who cannot even read a prepared statement effectively let alone go on a debate stage, just might cause a (gasp!!!!) Republican to occupy the oval office next January 20, 2025?
The answer may very well be yes. And, if so, the next question is who would Democrats put up instead? You can bet the house, car and first-born it won’t be Kamala Harris. And unless it is a who-has-the-best-hair contest, they would have to think twice before replacing Biden with California Governor Gavin Newsom – a man who oversaw the destruction of San Francisco as its Mayor and is now overseeing the destruction of California as its Governor.
Who would that leave Democrats with? Michelle Obama – who has never held public office, never held a serious executive position, and whose only qualification is that she is married to a former President? Even Hillary Clinton had more to offer than tha….
….hey, wait a minute. Hillary? HILLARY?
God is this party in trouble.
