I always have liked Stephen Moore, he is correct on economic points, and always offers great defenses for American capitalism. His latest piece points out how awful Team Biden has been for our economy. So awful, in fact that any honest person must ponder if it is deliberate and designed to hurt the nation.
Well, Moore has pondered and yet, does not see intent to hurt the nation. Yes, he sees gross incompetence, yet, I believe misses the elephant in the room 19th Ward has the link
Biden’s Destroying The Economy: Is It Intentional?
October 29, 2022
By STEPHEN MOORE
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.
I would counter Moore by saying I believe he is correct that the president is not “deliberately” doing this. Of course, beyond picking an ice cream flavor, and being inappropriate with children, Biden often does not seem to know where he is, so, trashing our economy, and our nation is likely beyond his skill set. But his administration? That, I believe is a very different story. It is filled with Marxists, Leftists, radicals, social justice agitators, race pimps, and idealistic idiots who still think the various forms of Marxism have just not been done “correctly”.
Are they the ones really running the show? Do they hate America? Do they personally stand to gain by wrecking out nation? If you answered yes, then Ding! Ding! Ding! Go pick your prize!
Let us look at what Moore points out as ways that a president, or a group of powerful people intent on destroying America WOULD go about that mission.
No. 1: Dismantle the nation’s energy supply
We get 70 percent 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.
No. 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.
No. 3: Devalue the nation’s currency through inflation
Inflation is up nearly 9 percent since Biden came into office. Inflation is a means to erode the value of a currency.
No. 4: Destroy the nation’s finances by running up the debt by multiple trillions of dollars
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.
No. 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.”
No. 6: Dumb down and indoctrinate our children with anti-American propaganda in the schools and media
And allowing teachers 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.
No. 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.
See a pattern there? I understand that no one wants to believe this is deliberate. But no husband want to believe his wife is cheating on him, even when he comes home to see her playing pony rides with the pool boy either. Despite his broken heart, he should contact a good divorce lawyer ASAP! Our lawyer? The mid-term elections! The retainer? Vote Democrats OUT! And, yeah, get a new pool boy!
If you Wanted to cripple our economy, and needed it to look like incompetence what would you do differently?
