President Joe Biden, also known as “the Big Guy” to his scandal-plagued son Hunter, stumbled his way through a Tuesday afternoon address to make the incredible claim he doesn’t believe politicians should get rich in office. Watch:
"The War in Ukraine is going to continue to take it toll on the world economy,” Biden said. “It’s going to take it his toll on energy, and it’s going to take its toll relative to food.”
“When I was running for office, you heard it a thousand times from me, that we’re going build an economy me around you,” he continued. “I’m so tired of trickle down economics. And I never found that that trickled down on top of my head very much.”
“I was listed… I had the great pleasure of being listed as the poorest man in Congress for 36 years,” he went on. “I still was making a hell a lot more money than anybody else because I was getting a senator’s salary, no kidding.”
“I didn’t think you should make money while you’re in office,” he claimed.
“But anyway, the point of it is this,” he added. “An awful lot of people are hurting. It makes a big difference. Makes a big difference. The cost of a dozen eggs cost of a gallon of gasoline. It matters. It matters.”
“So I concluded when I ran this last time that we’re going to build this economy from the bottom up in the middle out, because when that happens, everybody does well,” he went on. “The wealthy do very well and the poor have a ladder up and the middle class has a little bit of breathing room.”
Then Biden told one of those hard-to-believe anecdotes that he is so fond of telling when he rambles off-script.

Is this the Bee?
Gee can Joe afford to live on what he came in making 47 years ago?
That’s just the kind of line that the typical Biden voter will eat up like a four-year-old with his Easter candy. Jealous of anyone who has a dollar more in his pocket than he has, and eager to have a politician take that dollar away. Even better if he takes more.
“I had the great pleasure of being listed as the poorest man in Congress for 36 years”
Does anyone actually believe that?
I knew he was seeing Harvey! I said so a few days ago. :)
That might be correct if you don't count uncles and children grifting. Notice he didn't say anything about being poor when he was VP.
Not just corrupt, but ChiComjoe is traitor to the United States of America.
Most of the Founding Fathers had classical educations which were heavy on history (real history). They understood that times change but human nature never changes. They gave us a Constitution which, if strictly adhered to, would protect us from the inevitable corruption of our national government and institutions. We have ignored it at our own peril.
“Biden began buying homes—especially those that were outside his budget—in his twenties, taking out multiple mortgages and receiving loans against life insurance policies,” Town & Country reported. “His net worth was often in the negatives—in 2007, he was ranked the least wealthy senator.”
I call bull crap. Dr. Jill doesn't seem like the kind of gal to leave a man who bought her Corvettes for the poorest Senator. And I really have trouble believing that the access-selling started when he was vice- president.
Yes, we did!
We definitely ignored that and now we are in peril!
Gotta put it into perspective, if you make 30 million a year and you’re at a party for Jeff Bezos, chances are good that you’re the poor one there.
Senile Joe has always been a lying dog faced pony soldier.
Just some fun stuff to read.....
Of course not - you have your family do that!
