Biden 2.0 – Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid
AMAC Newsline ^ | 13 May, 2024 | Stephen Moore

Posted on 05/14/2024 5:38:05 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Could a second Biden term be more injurious to the economy than his first term? It seems unimaginable given the first three years gave us 20% inflation, a $2,000 loss in average real incomes for the middle class, 6 million added illegal immigrants, a war on American energy that has caused gas prices to rise by more than 40% to $3.64 a gallon, the collapse of our many major cities, another $6 trillion added to the national debt, the unaffordability of new homes, and the chaos on college campuses.

So what’s the encore to that abysmal performance? What will Bidenomics 2.0 look like if it comes to that?

Remember, the Republicans have narrowly controlled the House since the midterm elections of 2022, which has put a modest break on President Joe Biden’s more dangerous ambitions, but a Biden blue wave could mean Democrats run the table and have the House and the Senate under their control.

If Biden wins, he will argue that voters have given him a mandate — to move forward with radical redistribution policies.

Here’s a cheat sheet on the top five Bidenomics 2.0 policy priorities:

1. Tax Rates On Investment Up To 70%. Biden didn’t get most of his tax increases through Congress. I calculate that the tax on a million-dollar investment that earns a million dollars would be as high as 70%, wiping out two-thirds of the gain. Business investment would crash, and trillions of dollars of capital would flow like a tidal wave to lower-tax nations.

2. $2 Trillion In New Debt Spending. Liberals have been complaining that even though Biden passed $6 trillion of new spending — adjusted for inflation, somewhat less than we spent to fight and win World War II — there was almost $2 trillion on its wish list...

Biden won't survive a second term.

Pastor friend and I ate at a Mexican restaurant yesterday.

His meal, $11.50-$13.50 maybe 5-6 months ago - $17.50 yesterday. He told me a few minutes after we ordered.

I had not paid attention as I ordered mine very quickly with a glance at the menu and gave it to the waiter.

Yes. The plant in Belvedere, Illinois-the one Biden visited- is going to make EV car batteries.

There you go. That's evidence that Joe Biden will win his 2nd term.

Unfortunately, the election is close enough so they know they have to win by fraud in Las Vegas, Philadelphia, Milwaukee and Phoenix.

That's enough to win, even if Joe loses in Georgia and Michigan.

It’s not Joe Biden, although he is given the credit for everything that happens. I believe that everybody, and I mean everybody, knows that he is not in charge. He is just doing what he is told. He’s just an old, old man on the last legs of his life doing what he is told to do and told what to say. It’s the machine, the democratic machine in charge, the democratic machine that surrounds him. Do what I say, period, don’t question me, or you will be destroyed. Until we get rid of this machine, we will continue down the road of destruction. I am afraid, yes very afraid, because a portion of my fellow citizens have swallowed this cool-aide and are in the same place, the same trance, the same state of mind as Joe Biden. But I think there is hope, because the sweet taste of this cool-aide isn’t as sweet as it used to be and is going away, and some of them have begun to open their eyes.

I can’t imagine a second term for Brandon. I can easily imagine it. McConnell will be the first to congratulate him.

Not really. Obama is just a figurehead. Just like Biden. Obama’s administration is working for Joe Biden so there’s no difference.

[Biden 2.0 would mean a certain end to the America we once knew. We will be moving quickly to a totalitarian state with dismal prospects of future freedom and prosperity.]

A video I never wanted to watch - then I did


The Digital Dollar will save us! Yeah, That’s the ticket!

(worth it to watch just the first 17 minutes - there will be no way to “prosper”, though)

Yes, I recommend watching the first 17 minutes of this video


The Jim Rickards Commercial - Jul 5, 2022

(Google’s YouTube, amazingly, kept popping this up on my recommended playlist on the side - so I finally watched the beginning of it - ignore the sales pitch and watch the first part I recommended above)

[And watch for Nicki Haley to make an appearance, possibly as veep.]

In case that happens, even Democrat Seniors and Independent Seniors who receive Social Security should know:

"Could a second Biden term be more injurious to the economy than his first term?"

And they say there's no such thing as a stupid question.

Obama is lazy. But he's pretty. And he's coherent.

That's good enough.

The problem is that we do not really see who's running the machine.

At least in Russia, we know it's all Putin. He's running the show.

But who's running the show in the U.S.?

Another Biden term can only make things worse. If he is somehow “elected” (inserted) as president again, he will think he has a mandate & things would only get worse. I can’t see it happening any other way, should this befall us. Don’t let this happen!

Yep, there are those who still believe Jimmy Carter should have been re-elected.
