This Is Biden’s Reelection Pitch?!?!
https://issuesinsights.com/2024/04/05/bidens-reelection-pitch-lies-deception-and-false-promises/
We recently received a Biden-Harris campaign fundraising email, and if this is the best pitch they can make, then Joe Biden deserves to lose, bigly. It’s full of lies. It’s completely disconnected from reality. Biden takes no responsibility for the nation’s current troubles, and offers absolutely no solutions.
The email begins “I know this message is long.” Except it’s not – it’s less than 430 words, which isn’t much for an email that promises to remind readers “of all the things we have been able to accomplish because of our victory in 2020.”
The next sentence is a flat-out lie. “When Kamala and I were sworn in over two years ago, the economy was on its back.”
The truth is that when Joe and Kamala were sworn in, the economy was roaring back. Gross domestic product had regained the ground it lost in COVID-19 recession – a recession that lasted only two months, making it the shortest in recorded U.S. history. Half of the people who lost jobs were back at work. The stock market had climbed above its pre-COVID peak.
Biden goes on to lament the fact that, when he took office, “schools and businesses were closed,” without mentioning that Democrats were largely to blame for both. (Remember that Republican governors who refused to keep their economies locked down and their schools closed were accused of being murderers.)
Then comes the kicker. “Kamala and I agreed that we couldn’t just rebuild the economy as it was before: we needed to build an economy from the bottom up and the middle out, not the top down. So we got right to work and passed the American Rescue Plan.”
That $2 trillion spending spree failed to deliver on any of those promises.
It didn’t “rescue” the economy or “rebuild” it. And far from growing the economy from the “bottom up and middle out” it’s been a masterclass in what actual “trickle down” economics looks like. The rich have done quite well under Biden, while the middle class fell behind and the ranks of the poor swelled.
Biden then trots out the claim that “we’ve created more jobs in two years than any president in a four-year term,” which should be the Webster’s Dictionary definition of lying with statistics.
While Biden claims to have “created” 15 million jobs in his first three years in office, only 5.5 million were net gains, the rest were just backfilling jobs lost during the COVID lockdowns – which had thrown 22 million out of work.
In President Donald Trump’s first three years, by way of comparison, the economy had a net gain of 6.6 million jobs.
“We took on Big Pharma and won, capping the cost of insulin at $35 a month for seniors.” That’s thin gruel to the millions of Americans coping with the rising cost of health care. More than half of those on Obamacare say they struggle with out-of-pocket costs and insurance premiums.
“We passed the Inflation Reduction Act, which is bringing down costs for working people.”
That would be news to working people, who’ve seen food prices shoot up 20%, energy prices jump 30%, airfares climb 34%, and auto insurance premiums soar 43% under Biden. Overall, prices are up 18% since he took office, and cost-of-living issues are the top five concerns of voters, according to our polling partner TIPP.
People are putting off retirement, getting second jobs, maxing out their credit cards, raiding their 401(k)s to make ends meet. Just this week, CNN – of all places – ran a story headlined “Retirement crisis looms as Americans struggle to save.”
Does that sound like an economy built from the “bottom up and middle out”?
Biden does make one true statement, at the end of his fundraising email, when he says: “When I look back at all the things we’ve accomplished together … I’m reminded that there’s so much more work for us to get done.”
There is indeed “so much more work for us to get done.” And it starts with undoing the damage Biden and his confederacy of leftist dunces have inflicted on the nation.
