Bidenomics - another record - DEBT

Biden's spending and economic dislocation caused by his polices continue to unsustainable grow the debt and set records for non-pandemic deficits.

The Rich are paying more

THE CBO released their annual report on the distribution of household income 2020.  This includes all sources of income, taxes and transfers from government to households.  The key points:

1. The richest pay a larger share of income by far

2. The rich are paying an increasing proportion of income

3. The ratio of national taxes paid to national income earned is increasing for the rich.

Inflation

Bidenomics - We are all paying 17% for things than before Biden.  And, no Joe, you are not lowering prices.

 

DEI - Bad for America

The foundation of neo-Marxism is that the world must be divided between the oppressed and the oppressors and that truth is not based on objective facts and logic but on the subjective feelings and harm perceived by the oppressed.

Neo-Marxism has been embraced by Democrats and cloaked with the seemingly harmless label of progressivism with a claimed foundation of DEI: diversity, equity and inclusion. But in reality it is diversity except of views, equity of outcomes, not opportunities and inclusion  except of facts and logic. DEI insists that people be judged and treated differently based solely on certain arbitrary characteristics that are unrelated to their actual actions and behaviors. This is dangerous and bad for America. (2)(3)

Today only people of certain characteristics (the oppressed) including race, sex, sexual preference, gender identity, ethnicity, disability and obesity are recognized as deserving of preferences. Individuals without these arbitrary characteristics (the oppressors) are expected to stand aside and support the advancement and preferences given to others regardless of effort and merit. 
DEI’s failure to recognize individual behaviors and merit results in discriminatory and unfair practices to groups. 

DEI’s dismantling of the importance of personal agency is resulting in generations of individuals without resilience and responsibility. 

Claudine Gay PhD, President of Harvard, is one example of the harm ofDEI. She believes and promulgates that the disparities in education, income and crime between blacks and whites are primarily due to slavery 150 years ago, discriminatory policies 60 years ago, and systematic racism today. A professor of African American Studies at Harvard, she became President of Harvard and promised to focus on amplify teaching and research on racial and ethnic inequality and the lived experiences of those she identifies as pushed to the margins.

Evidently she is unaware of the culture of a small segment of society that results is disproportionate percentages of fatherless homes, young unwed mothers, criminal behavior and poor educational performance.(1)
Today Harvard has fallen to the bottom of the ranking of Universities when looking at the diversity of views allowed on campuses.

Bidenomics - Jobs in Context

The population continues to grow so net jobs created is less important than labor force participation.  Bidenomics still hasn't gotten enough people back to work.

And Biden continues to make his misleading and meaningless claim related to number of jobs created so I thought I'd share a different meaningless number: Trump created more jobs per month after the pandemic than Biden has.

Say his name - Eric Harrison

When you reduce the likelihood of getting caught and/or the expected punishment for committing a crime  you get…MORE CRIME.

The Democratic neo-Marxist soft on crime policies are killing Americans.

Bidenomics - Not "Real" Good

Bidenomics - Not "Real" Good

While there was a good 3rd Quarter of economic growth, Real Quarterly GDP per capital growth under Biden still lower than Obama's or Trump's. And Real Personal Income growth under Biden is pathetic compared to Obama or Trump.

Pusillanimous Biden Policies Kill

Biden’s pusillanimous policies killing Ukrainians, Israelis and Gazans. 

Biden has only stingily rationed out the minimum amount and capability of weapons to Ukraine to stop Russia, but not enough to expel Russia from their country. Ukrainians continue to die.

Biden treated Iran, world’s leading sponsor of terrorism with stated goal of destroying Israel and the west, as a trusted honorable partner, removing sanctions and expecting peace. Iran directly or indirectly behind Hamas’s massacre of babies and innocent civilians in Israel.

Biden is now pressuring Israel to discontinue its efforts to destroy Hamas. Hamas has and is using innocent Gazans as human shield and hostages against Israel’s efforts to destroy it.

Hamas is Evil. Israel is not. 

Iran is Evil. The West is not.

Putin is Evil. Ukraine is not. 

Evil needs to be stopped. 

Peace is simple. Lay down your arms and surrender unconditionally. 

Pusillanimous- showing a lack of courage or determination; timid

Biden Climate Con

 

Leading recognized climate economists discover costs are much greater than the benefits. 

Cost of climate policy through 2100 will be a minimum of $27 Trillion/yr (2023 dollars). 

Benefits of climate policy through 2100 will be at most $4.5 Trillion/yr (2023 dollars). 

Climate policy costs will be much higher than the likely benefits for every year throughout this century and into the next

If the world meets its 1.5 degree promise, it would prevent a less than 0.5% loss in annual global domestic product by 2050 and a 3.1% loss by 2100.

Fully delivering on the 1.5-degree Paris promise will cost a minimum of 4.5% of global GDP each year by midcentury and 5.5% by 2100 based on government implementation efficiently and at lowest possible costs. In reality costs will be much higher.

Hidden cost of government

Rules made by federal agencies impose a cost that is hidden. 

Federal rules and regulations including, but not limited to, “social justice”, education, manufacturing, transportation, energy exploration, environmental, hiring, employment, accounting, commerce, food, drug and agriculture are a significant cost on Americans.

And while some rules regulations are needed to keep markets free and competitive and to ensure safety and freedom, many of the rules and regulations are excessive and the reason that corporations spend billions “lobbying” politicians.

Even a blind pig…

I don’t agree with Obama often, but when I do…

From the smartest man in the world (just ask him): “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to fuck things up”

Whether it is the budget, the deficit, oil production, Ukraine, the Middle East, inflation, or uniting the country, Biden has been a disaster.

Maybe prosecute crime

With the Democrat’s neo-Marxist critical social justice approach, it is always somebody else’s fault.

This refusal to take responsibility for one’s action/policies and instead blaming others is a direct result of the critical social justice approach, embraced by the neo-Marxist Democrats.

Chicago has a significant crime problem with high number of shootings and carjackings these days.

In a news conference on November 28, 2023, Chicago’s mayor, Brandon Johnson, blamed Republicans for the city’s problems. No mention of the neo-Marxist Democrat policies of sanctuary city, attracting immigrants and soft on crime prosecutors that are…soft on crime.

“Everyone knows that the right-wing extremism in this country has targeted Democratically-ran cities and quite frankly, they've been very intentional about going after Democratically-ran cities that are led by people of color.”

“It's the same right-wing extremism that refuses to accept the results of the Civil War.”

Biden’s Ukraine Dithering

Turkey is a part of NATO

Turkey is a key ally/partner of the US

Turkey is helping Russia invade Ukraine. 

Why is Biden not pressuring Turkey to behave?

Not setting boundaries and expectations. 

Not giving consequences. 

Allowing all behaviors. 

Bad parenting. 

Bad geopolitical leadership.

So far so good - Not!

Evanston Township High School (ETHS) has been called one of the best high schools in America. Based in one of the wokest areas of the country they have identified racial disparities as a problem and then decided to focus on the wrong cause. Their stated position is: “Racism is the most devastating factor contributing to the diminished achievement of students.” Their results so far have had little effect. I think that if they focused on the home environment of students as the primary cause they would have better results. 

Tragic but Inevitable

The destruction of much of the Native American civilizations in the Americas by the Europeans was tragic from the perspective of the Native Americans, but was inevitable given the dramatic difference in the level of technology in Europe compared to the level of technologies of the various Native American civilizations.
