I watched Joe Biden talk about how he was going to cut the deficit, provide free child care and provide electric vehicles for everyone.Why is this man smiling?He spoke for one hour and two minutes. I laughed, I cried, I felt afraid.
Well, I mean…. we should be taxing people more who use America as a vehicle to become wealthy. Safe to say the rich haven’t held up their end of the bargain when it comes to the ol’ trickle-down effect. I made my last boss INCREDIBLE money and showed tremendous sales growth, totally righted his sinking ship, and all he did was stiff me on promised bonuses, grossly underpay me, even more grossly understaff and under-supply me to the point where I was working 100 hours and getting paid for 40, and not well. But that money sure trickled down into a new boat for him, after crying poor at every turn. These hypercapitalist business owners are very often not good people, and we really need to change this narrative that they’re some kind of backbone of society. We’d be better off chasing our dinner down in the woods like we’re meant to at this phase of the game. I know a shitty deal when I see one.
Whenever politicians talk about giving away "free" stuff like childcare, cars and vaccinations, it's out tax money that pays for it, so it's not free at all. WE are footing the bill. By the way, they can shove their electric cars up their asses. They are far worse for the environment than regular cars and are a boon to the corporations who mine, refine and transport minerals, manufacture the batteries and computerized electric cars, and provide the electricity. The cars limit people's mobility and cost more than piston driven cars. The mining ravages the earth and the refining and transportation of minerals creates its own pollution. In the end, the mandating of electric cars makes the rich richer at the expense of the rest of mankind. It's part of the globalist agenda. Fucking evil pricks.
Right? You can't rebuild a battery-powered car the way you can a mechanical one. People will be stuck buying new cars when theirs quit operating. And fewer people will be able to afford new cars. And how much toxic pollution will result from those abandoned batteries?
I always laugh when someone says they'll cut the deficit. You mean instead of spending XXXXXX amount you don't have your now only going to spend XXXXX instead? still spending what you don't have... LMAO!
Cutting the actual debt will get my attention. Now I wonder how he plans to provide all that free stuff, oh right... tax us.
Oh yes, I started believing in magic in 2017 when O'Bama's timed release of a great economy magically happened for the first time in 8 years. If he hadn't taken credit, I would never have known magic was so real.
All I could think about was this: “This is what will happen in the United States if you allow all these schmucks to bring the country to crisis, to promise people all kinds of goodies and the paradise on Earth, to destabilize your economy, to eliminate the principle of free market competition, and to put a Big Brother government in Washington, D. C., with benevolent dictators like Walter Mondale who will promise lots of things. Never mind whether the promises unfulfillable or not.”-Yuri Bezmenov 1984
His speech was a nothing burger! The whole time he was making false promises; things to come, why haven't they done any things mentioned in his first year?
He did not mention any of his accomplishments except find a black woman for the supreme court. He should have led with his handling of Covid where more people died under his watch than the previous administration despite having 3 vaccines and another year to figure it out, then he could have talked about the booming economy and then his nomination for the Nobel prize for his handling of Afghanistan.
@Wise4myage I was too busy laughing at that. He was all in to defund the police until the polls showed that most voters do not like getting shot. The good thing about Trump was he was up front with what he wanted to do and people either liked it or not.
Most of what he said sounded good in theory but has little chance of making it through Congress. Presidents have few tools at their disposal to tackle inflation, so you take these pie in the sky speeches with a grain of salt. The only part I was interested in was the Ukraine part. I do think he’s done a fine job coordinating a unified international response to the invasion that wouldn’t have happened under the last administration.
@DarkWinterNights If it doesn’t affect the elites, he doesn’t care. Let’s say he “gives” us “free” electric cars. What happens? Electric car manufacturers get rich, the debt grows so the dollar continues to decline, everyone’s electricity usage skyrockets at the same time the cost of electricity skyrockets. It would be a total disaster to force these cars on people, but some people would benefit while most would lose.
