Psaki Admits Biden Is Exploiting COVID for 'Fundamental' Economic Change
Townhall ^ | 10/13/2021

Posted on 10/13/2021 5:10:23 AM PDT by Altura Ct.

If it wasn't already clear that the Biden administration was using the Wuhan coronavirus to exert more power and control over the country, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki made it clear in Tuesday's briefing. According to Psaki, President Biden is using the pandemic to pursue significant change in the way the American economy functions.

When asked about the potential of cutting some programs — and thereby reducing the price tag — in Biden's $4.5 trillion budget proposal, Psaki rejected the notion. In the White House's view, all of Biden's priorities must be included and passed as soon as possible.

"The president wants to make fundamental change in our economy and he feels coming out of the pandemic is exactly the time to do that," she said.

"If we don't do it now, if we don't address the cost of childcare... if we don't address the climate crisis, if we don't ensure that universal pre-k is a reality now, we're not going to have the same opportunity to do it for some time."

So there we have it. Psaki, perhaps saying the quiet part out loud — even though the Biden administration's expansion of federal powers and damaging economic policies have already been quite clear — admitted that the president is using the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic to "make fundamental change in our economy."

It's notable that Psaki highlighted the "climate crisis" and not, say, the border crisis, inflation crisis, supply chain crisis, fuel shortage crisis, or any of the other crises Biden has so far created.

What Psaki's answer also reveals, though, is urgency from the White House for Democratic leaders in Congress to deliver on the president's legislative agenda sooner, rather than later, as congressional Democrats' fortunes take a bleak turn ahead of the 2022 midterms just more than one year away.

As Biden's job approval slides and an increasing number of independent voters signal the president has lost their support amid crises at home and abroad, the chances of a Republican majority in at least one chamber of Congress grow. And if Biden thought he was having a tough time getting his woke agenda passed through a House and Senate controlled by Democrats, there's not a chance his radical policies would clear a Republican majority.

FJB couldn’t exploit a pudding cup. He’s nothing more than a prop, and a crappy prop at that. GWB was at least a half-believable prop.

Gee, Wally, it sure is good thing we have a trustworthy and completely solid voting system we can use to vote ourselves out if this mess, or else we sure would be in a jam, huh?

Since Trump’s campaign words made it into lawsuits to facilitate the charge of implementing border controls and daca elimination for racist reasons, words like this from the white house can be used in any suit to overturn vax mandates.

Once a program starts...it will be forever. The 2 years of free college is ridiculous.

Democrats are supremely stupid and they’re running scared:

<><> the urgency displayed to deliver shows Democrats’ fortunes taking a bleak turn

<><> 2022 midterms loom

<><> their schtick is childcare, climate, universal pre-k, asst giveaways to buy votes,

<><> not the border crisis, inflation crisis, supply chain crisis, fuel shortage crisis, or any of the other crises Biden has created.

We've been complaining about the un-elected bureaucrats and elected 'leaders' but we should be worried about the un-elected billionaires like Soros, Gates and Schwab. Fauxi too and also likely the top dems.

Have you ever seen all Western leaders acting in concert before in such a huge way? All those G7, G20 and other global meetings haven't really been about climate. DAVOS and the WEC meetings are the real deal. It's the New World Order, Great Reset or whatever other name they want to give it. How is it no Western nation is coming down hard on China? This isn't a pandemic. It's a plandemic or scamdemic. Go to bitchute, rumble or even youtube and look for "COVID-19 and the Global Predators" - interview with Dr Peter Breggins, there's one with Pam Popper and one with Joseph Mercola, both about an hour long and Breggins does most of the talking. Get the book above from here for the proof/citations; https://www.wearetheprey.com. It's $20 plus $6 shipping yet it's $26.99 on amazon and Bezos is just another of the billionaires that we shouldn't be supporting.

We're headed towards a global corporatocracy. This page has links to a few pdf files that accompany the book; https://breggin.com/covid-19-and-the-global-predators-resources/. They basically lay out the plandemic response in advance, similar to how Event 201 did.

He's burning down Democrat cities.

Here in the Red counties and Red states, life is good, as always.

I'm not sure destroying the economy of Blue cities and killing Blue voters was Biden's intent. (Or maybe it was.)

Exactly!

It is the natural response to Obama's discovery of a "fundamental flaw" in our Constitution. And he was ushered right in by the voters. Same wrecking crew at work today.

Republican idiots still operating under the idea that the elections are fraud-free, fair and legit.

Seriesly, how many times?...

Judas Joe is not that smart. This situation is being perpetrated by Obozo’s staff who is running the present White House.

The GOP made sure the Kenyanesian Usurpation happened by putting up two intentional, willing Designated Losers.

The Kenyanesian Usurpation and the Big Steal could not have happened without the assistance of the Assistant Democrats.

There is ample evidence why Obama NEVER left Washington & why Valerie Jarrett lives in the large mansion Obama rents.
