WACKY: Christian Science Monitor Editor Praises Bidenomics as ‘Stealthily Revolutionary’
NewsBusters ^ | 10/4/2023 | Joseph Vazquez

The Christian Science Monitor has emerged to promote one of the dumbest media takes on the Bidenomics disaster yet.

CSM editor Mark Sappenfield sung the praises of President Joe Biden’s illusory economic prowess in a dense Oct. 2 commentary piece headlined: “President Joe Biden’s ‘stealth’ revolution.” Sappenfield’s nonsense spoke for itself in the sub-headline: “‘Mr. Biden’s economic plan may or may not win over voters next year. But ‘Bidenomics’ does try to treat the United States as one nation, not just as factions of red or blue.” Oh but it gets better. Sappenfield used the reporting by one of his colleagues on Biden’s green energy obsession to drool over how Bidenomics was supposedly “stealthily revolutionary” as it “promises a greener economy, appealing to coastal liberals.” Here’s the interesting part: The word “inflation” doesn’t appear once throughout Sappenfield’s piece, perhaps because even mentioning it would undo his entire argument.

In Sappenfield’s revisionist worldview, the supposed genius of Bidenomics was allegedly Biden’s so-called “reading of the American public’s weariness with the small-government, free market policies that have guided the United States since President Ronald Reagan in the 1980s.” He must have missed the Sept. 7 CNN poll which found that 58 percent of Americans blamed Biden’s Big Government spending policies for worsening economic conditions for the country. In July, yet another devastating CBS News poll found that 65% of Americans thought the economy under Biden was “bad.” Talk about a serious disconnect from Sappenfield’s readership. But he wouldn’t abandon his cesspool logic. He even had the audacity to claim that Bidenomics “marks an intriguing attempt to treat the country, well, as one country.” Somebody make it make sense!

Despite one and the second Biden recession coming.

Despite historic lawlessness/violence

I read ousting McCarthy will cost the GOP the House.

The Dems couldn’t win a free and fair election now against Satan.

“reading of the American public’s weariness with the small-government, free market policies that have guided the United States since President Ronald Reagan in the 1980s.”

So that's 32 trillion dollars of debt for small government? I can imagine what it would be if we had a big government.

Back in the final years of Clinton when the Republicans won in Congress, neither side could agree on spending so less got spend (or at least the perpetual growth was slowed down some). Now with Biden's puppeteers and the current GOPe crowd in Congress, the compromise is to spend on what both sides want. I liked the Clinton era better. And it hurts to say that.

Christian Science is about as Christian and scientific as Planned Parenthood is about parenting.

That’s funny. Can the author cite even a single example of “small government” or “free market” policies that have been established by the government since the 1980s?

The Democrats don’t even have to count their chickens before they hatch, Republican traitors are happy to do it for them.

“WACKY: Christian Science Monitor Editor Praises Bidenomics as ‘Stealthily Revolutionary’”

Does that mean the Bidenbrains are fomenting a revolution to destroy the Middle Class?
