Clueless WashPost Editorial Board Member on Bidenomics: Strategy ‘Made So Much Sense’
NewsBusters ^ | 1/2/2025 | Joseph Vazquez

As America heads into the final days of the lame duck administration under President Joe Biden, there are still clueless members of the media trying to sell the clownish concept of Bidenomics to the public as if the 2024 elections were still in full swing.

The Washington Post leadership, unsurprisingly, is no exception.

Post editorial board member Eduardo Porter is spinning his wheels trying to determine why Bidenomics wasn’t a winning message in a Dec. 26 op-ed. After all, wrote Porter in his, er, infinite wisdom: “So many things about the strategy made so much sense.”

In Porter’s distorted worldview, Biden’s inflation-stimulating $1.9 trillion stimulus package “looked like exactly the right bet.” The $739 billion climate change-obsessed and erroneously-named Inflation Reduction Act, along with other spendthrift legislation, appeared “equally adroit — a strategy to address the plight of the many White workers without a college degree who turned out for Donald Trump” in 2016.

The propaganda is strong with this one.

“White workers without a college degree who turned out for Donald Trump” in 2016.”

Insulting, condescending, elitist, and divisive statement. If we are to believe only highly educated multi-cultural and enlightened leftist souls voted correctly - explain the disaster that was the Biden residency.

One of the problems with the Washington Post is they hire based on wordsmithing, color, sexual kink and WOKE... they’ve got folks who could make Harris’ word salads sound like Lincolns speech at Gettysburg... the paper deserves to go under.

No it did not. It was purposely designed to do two things

Artificially inflate energy costs to make “green energy” more cost competitive.

Recklessly spend as much as possible to fuel the cost push inflation their energy policies were creating and force down US Consumerism to “save the planet.”

Biden regime was actively working to destroy their own voters fiscal security due to their neo religious worship of the dogmas know as “Climate Change”

Like in the first term any economic success going forward will be credited to Brandon rather than President Trump.

I’ve been reading a book called “The Strategists: Churchill, Stalin, Roosevelt, Mussolini and Hitler”. Just like Biden, Hitler thought his strategy made perfect sense. Reality tends to crush the dreams of idiots.

Biden has dementia. Not sure what Eduardo Porter’s excuse might be in the light of day.
