Biden's destroying the economy. Is it intentional?
Everywhere I go, people are mystified about President Joe Biden's economic agenda. So few of the policies comport with basic common sense that I'm asked the same question over and over: Is Biden intentionally trying to take a wrecking ball to the economy?
Is this all part of some diabolical plan, the "great reset," to end our system of free market capitalism and replace it with some form of big-government socialism?
Biden keeps saying that he wants to be a historic president who will "transition" the country into a new worker's paradise where no one uses fossil fuels or electricity or cars and equality is paramount, ahead of growth and prosperity. Is he taking us there with no regard for the collateral damage to America?
My belief is that, no, I don't think this is an intentional, nefarious Dr. Evil-type plot.
But if this were a scheme to burn down the village in order to rebuild it, Biden and his administration are doing a great job of it.
Here are seven Biden administration steps to undermine an economy and a society from within. They will all sound familiar with the president's policies since he took office 21 months ago.
1. Dismantle the nation's energy supply. We get 70% of our energy from fossil fuels. Biden has declared war on American oil and gas, making us more dependent on our enemies for our basic energy needs.
2. Don't enforce the border. Biden is letting hundreds of thousands of potential criminals, terrorists, welfare recipients, and enemies of the United States into our country through a porous southern border with Mexico. Immigration is good, but it must be orderly and regulated.
3. Devalue the nation's currency through inflation. Inflation is up nearly 15% since Biden came into office. Inflation is a means to erode the value of a currency.
4. Destroy the nation's finances by running up the debt by multiple trillions of dollars of debt. No president in modern times has so recklessly pushed our nation into debt as rapidly as Biden through his $4 trillion in spending paid for with red ink.
5. Divide rather than unite the nation. Rich versus poor, black versus white, gay versus straight, rural versus urban. Biden promised unity. Instead, he pits groups against each other. This is the identity politics of the Left that is the opposite of "e pluribus unum."
6. Dumb down and indoctrinate our children with anti-American propaganda in the schools and media. And allowing teacher unions and left-wing activists to take over the curriculum with anti-American propaganda. It is the opposite of nurturing patriotism and love of country.
7. Decriminalize a lot. Let criminals onto the streets. End bail. Empty the prisons. Let minor crimes go unpunished. Biden's policies favor criminals over victims. It's a scene out of a Batman movie.
Are these policies intentional or simply completely misguided? I don't know. But does it matter? Either way, our country is in grave peril.

The question was recently asked: "If you wanted to destroy the United States of America, what would you do?"
Answer: Vote democrat
Yawn, this is a result of a bunch of shit all culminating at once, much of it driven by the pandemic. It sucks sure, but is well beyond the ability/authority of a US president to direct.
Never ceases to amaze me how much power some people think a president has over the US and global economic system.
He doesnt have power over crime either.
At both the midpoint of the Reagan presidency and at its end the murder rate in America was higher than it was in 2021.
I dont remember anyone even giving a shit in the 1980's, let alone blaming it on Reagan.
Our country is getting dumber every day.
Exactly, no one gave a shit about murder then.
Blame the teacher union driven; Democrat backed and run; public school system.
Are you forgetting Reagan's war on crime? Seems that some don't and they are blaming him for that.
So yes John, people did "give a shit in the 1980's". Especially Joe Biden.
Must be that public taking hold again that history no longer means what it means.
nt remember anyone even giving a shit in the 1980's
Democrat in 1988: George Bush only won because they exploit voters fear of crime (see Willie Horton ad)
Democrat in 2022: Nobody cared about crime in the 80s.
Sorry for you John but some people are old enough to remember the 80s and can only laugh at the idea that crime wasn't a political issue. Don't you remember Clinton and Biden promising to get the super predators?
Put a little bit of effort into your deflections.
I was just thinking about this last night. Back in the 80's it was 'Get tough on crime', mandatory sentencing and build up the prisons. Right now the pendulum has swung the other way and crime is again high. Will it swing back even tougher than we saw in the 80's? Guess it depends on where we go in the next 20 years and just how bad crime gets.
Yep. Even before that Nixon ran as tough on crime. As an issue it faded as democrats like Clinton and Biden talked even tougher than republicans and crime dropped in the late 90s and remained much lower until recently.
