Biden angry with Americans
Joe Biden may not have the physical stamina to travel overseas and fulfill his duties regarding foreign policy, but he did manage to give public remarks on Friday. In them, the president slammed Americans for blaming him for the current inflation boom, proclaiming he’s “sick of it” and that “it’s just not true” that his policies have exacerbated the problem.
Perhaps getting angry and yelling at people who vote isn’t the best political strategy?
In fact, it is completely true that government spending has largely led to the inflationary pressures nailing American families right now. There’s a reason U.S. inflation has been 2-3 percent higher than European inflation over the last year, depending on which month you compare. Joe Biden and his party pushed through a COVID “relief” bill along partisan lines that extended unemployment, sent out checks, and injected way too much funny money into an already overheated economy.
That’s how you get record inflation. The 7.9 percent number we saw in February was not simply a product of organic demand due to the coronavirus waning. Sure, there was always going to be some inflation, but it was never going to be this high without government intervention. For Biden to now pretend everyone but him is to blame is cowardly and dishonest. This is not “Putin’s price hike.” It’s “Joe Biden’s price hike.”
...
This looks like another Biden blunder that will continue to alienate voters before the mid-terms. While he might get some support from his sycophants at the NY Times it is an argument he has already lost. Democrats in Congress also know they are losing the argument. That is why so many of them are not running for reelection. Biden's temper tantrums suggest he is finally taking the polling seriously, but not serious enough to change his bad policies.
