Senile Joe Biden desperately clings to false notions of economic health and vitality
Does Joe Biden still believe he’s the president?
Most people likely answered in the affirmative, pointing out the fact senile Joe, barring an
unanticipated health event or an angry Democrat mob descending on the White House to demand his abdication, will indeed complete his lone term as America’s chief executive in short order.
Signs suggesting Biden himself doesn’t even suppose he’s still president seemingly come and go as the current commander-in-chief’s recent Christmas tree lighting could imply that he’s no longer serious about filling out the duties of the office. Cringeworthy. In other words, senile Joe has always made a mockery of his role as president, but lately, he’s apparently not even trying to hide it.
Last week demonstrated that the lamest of lame duck presidents still has some quacking left in him, particularly when it comes to providing advice for 2024 election winner Donald J. Trump. In short, the outgoing president reasons the incoming White House occupant should basically ignore everything the Republican campaigned to transform and leave the economy just the way it is.
Yes, you can’t make this stuff up. Not even the wackiest and most out-of-touch of establishment media journos could survive the laugh test on this one. In an article titled, “Biden: Trump’s tax and tariffs plans are a ‘major mistake’”, Adam Cancryn reported at Politico last week:
“In a speech at the Brookings Institution, Biden warned that Trump’s plans would largely benefit the wealthy, reversing what he described as progress made over the last four years toward strengthening the working class.
“’By all accounts, the incoming administration is determined to return the country to another round of trickle-down economics,’ Biden said. ‘On top of that, he seems determined to impose steep, universal tariffs on all [imported] goods brought into this country on the mistaken belief that foreign countries will bear the cost of those tariffs, rather than the American consumer.’ …
“Biden blamed Trump for mishandling the pandemic response and deepening the recession the current president inherited in 2021 as a result. He mocked Trump for his failed first-term infrastructure push and for spurning pledges to ‘buy American.’ And he cautioned that Trump’s plan to renew a set of expiring tax cuts would drive up the deficit or result in deep cuts to social services.”
Wow, if I didn’t know better, I’d say senile Joe was in the throes of yet another “senior moment” and ordered up a draft of next year’s proposed State of the Union Address he had originally intended to deliver when he won reelection so he could have one last hurrah waxing on fantasy policy prescriptions and bully his opposition for disagreeing with him one final time.
Donald Trump certainly didn’t lecture his successor in the last days of his own first administration. Trump believed then – and now – that evidence suggested he actually prevailed in the 2020 election, so in his view, there was no need to beg Biden to keep his agenda in place. But why would a man as vain and “out there” as senile Joe still cling to the notion that his programs had worked – and were popular?
Granted, senile Joe Biden doesn’t appear to grasp much these days, but even he must realize the 2024 campaign is over – and his side lost. Biden himself has been in Washington since his thirtieth birthday, has never labored at a “real” job that I can tell, lives in a bubble of advisors who constantly lie to him and stroke his sensitive ego, but even he must realize that his economic lecturing to the lifelong successful and ambitious Donald J. Trump would fall on deaf ears.
Surveys have shown that American voters indicated the state of the U.S. economy was a major factor for them this year, and most people who ranked it high as a motivator favored Trump’s proposals to improve things. Yet Biden clings to a proven falsehood – that government intervention brings positive results – and that friendly tax policies only benefit “the wealthy”.
Didn’t Sean Hannity once say he’s never been given a job by a poor man? Where does wealth come from, Joe? Does it spontaneously materialize out of thin air? Can the government make anyone rich? (Actually, yes, depending on connections and an appropriate amount of government goodies.)
Crony capitalism exists when government slants the rules to favor certain businesses or industries or individuals. Why do you think Wall Street financial barons are mostly Democrats now? They like it when their lobbyists are the ones writing the financial regulatory terms.
It may be Economics 101, but tax cuts benefit everyone, not just the wealthy, who cover the overwhelming share of the tax burden. As I’ve often written, there are only three things you can do with extra dollars. You can spend them, which benefits retailers, suppliers and manufacturers; save them, which aids banks and other lending institutions to provide seed loans for entrepreneurs; or you can invest the surplus loot, which leads to other growth opportunities.
Government, on the other hand, only has power to tax and spend. Lord knows the government doesn’t save money (nor would we want it to). Government redistributes dollars and extracts them from productive enterprises to fuel more government and bureaucracy.
Senile Joe’s federal government was the most inefficient of all time. Biden grew government and regulation. What about these things is attractive for Trump to desire to keep?
Senile Joe Biden skips over the disastrous part of his economic legacy
In making the plea last week to defend his economic record and beg Donald Trump not to mess with his supposed “successes”, senile Joe Biden omits owning up to the policy prescriptions he put in place that led to disaster.
The list of Biden failures is long, but perhaps coming at the top of the pile was Biden’s belief that government could ignore the influx of illegal alien invaders without incurring any bad repercussions by our own citizenry.
Biden’s government looked the other way towards the waves of illegal aliens and in many cases paved a path for them by providing transportation, generous benefits and other forms of monetary assistance while tasking local communities with the chore of assimilating and caring for the throngs of penniless perpetrators.
It all takes money, doesn’t it? Even some Blue State governors and mayors have concluded enough is enough. Donald Trump said it himself: A country without borders and laws is not a country. Shouldn’t Biden have to explain what part of his immigration policies the new administration should sustain?
Or how about requiring the new policy makers and enforcers to hang onto Biden’s energy production restrictions, climate change dictates or other government orders that put a damper on efficiency? Statistics have proven that free economies take care of their environments, while command economies are the biggest polluters.
Is China’s economic model one to emulate?
Trump’s tariffs are negotiation starters, not a tax on American consumers
For a policy prescription that senile Joe himself decided to keep in place (in many instances), Biden is sure critical of Donald Trump’s tough tariffs.
If put in place and left without alteration, tariffs have the capability of being counterproductive and costly. But Trump is only proposing the levying of tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico, et al., to start the conversation with other nations regarding fair trade practices and mutual security obligations. Trump has said he would be for a zero-tariff world and would lift all rates with those nations that would reciprocate.
Or to urge other nations to respect American sovereignty on immigration and drug policy.
Isn’t that what people demand?
The last thing Americans want is a repeat of the Biden administration’s policies. Senile Joe should save his breath.
