Biden’s destroying the economy. Is it intentional?
Washington Examiner ^ | 20 Oct, 2022 | Stephen Moore

Posted on 10/21/2022 5:42:46 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Everywhere I go, people are mystified about President Joe Biden's economic agenda. So few of the policies comport with basic common sense that I’m asked the same question over and over: Is Biden intentionally trying to take a wrecking ball to the economy?

Is this all part of some diabolical plan, the “great reset,” to end our system of free market capitalism and replace it with some form of big-government socialism?

Biden keeps saying that he wants to be a historic president who will “transition” the country into a new worker’s paradise where no one uses fossil fuels or electricity or cars and equality is paramount, ahead of growth and prosperity. Is he taking us there with no regard for the collateral damage to America?

My belief is that, no, I don’t think this is an intentional, nefarious Dr. Evil-type plot.

But if this were a scheme to burn down the village in order to rebuild it, Biden and his administration are doing a great job of it.

Here are seven Biden administration steps to undermine an economy and a society from within. They will all sound familiar with the president's policies since he took office 21 months ago.

1. Dismantle the nation’s energy supply. We get 70% of our energy from fossil fuels. Biden has declared war on American oil and gas, making us more dependent on our enemies for our basic energy needs.

2. Don’t enforce the border. Biden is letting hundreds of thousands of potential criminals, terrorists, welfare recipients, and enemies of the United States into our country through a porous southern border with Mexico. Immigration is good, but it must be orderly and regulated.

3. Devalue the nation’s currency through inflation. Inflation is up nearly 15% since Biden came into office....

According to James Clyburn, it is intentional. Who doesn’t know that destroying the energy sector of a country leads to its demise? (Throw in the Supply Chain disruption and it’s a win-win if that is your goal)

Joe’s so stupid he couldn’t find his own a$$ with both hands.
But his handlers are not; this is purely intentional.
You can’t screw it up this badly, this quickly, by accident.

Just for the record, Biden’s whole arrogant career has been one of disasters and stupid mistakes, so he’s useful to his handlers in their destruction of this country. He and Jill are happy with his selected role. He’s their perfect puppet, and he is not innocent.

It may well be intentional.

As an example, look at the real estate situation. There has never been a building boom in this area like the boom that started under Trump and has continued to this day.

There are many projects under construction that are so big they look like something the government would do.

Projects of this magnitude are not built with cash on hand. The builders must have very large bank loans.

Many of the projects are months from finished so they builders will not see any income from them for a year or more.

There will be many bankruptcies with property selling for far less than its stated value today.

A great buying opportunity for Blackrock, Vanguard and similar organizations who have made it plain that they intend to own all real estate.

If insiders can manipulate the stock market, the silver market and the gold market, why would you not suspect that they can do the same with the real estate market?

I own what is for this area a significant amount of land and I average two letters a week from people offering to purchase. I am pretty sure most of them are front men for some much larger organization.

Yes, Biden is a zombie but behind the curtain is a group of very powerful men who definitely are not zombies.

If it’s not intentional, what difference would it make? What could he have intentionally done to make it worse?

Without a doubt.

You can’t “Built back better” unless you destroy what was already in place.

It’s part of mass formation psychosis.

This is a one hour interview and not one wasted minute. What Desmet describes is exactly what we are seeing today.

They say “A camel is a horse made by committee.” Biden is being run by a committee of socialist-democrats who we are not allowed to know, meet infrequently, and squabble over the scraps of a once roaring economy. Biden has no real input and cannot set priorities in light of changing events. And so The Agenda grinds on while the economy — such as it is — goes up in flames.

Sorry Stephen Moore but it's intentional - the damage started Day One of Biden's Administration. If every time you went grocery shopping all 'price mistakes' were in favor of the store - you would have to assume it was intentional. Same here.

3. Devalue the nation’s currency

He stated we are going to a digital currency in his E.O.

The government will take charge of your bank accounts and your purchases.

if it’s not intentional then there would be counterbalances.

take #1 and #3, which i think stand out from the others in terms of magnitude.

a conventional strategy would be something along the lines of increasing federal government deficit spending, but then compensating for it by increasing energy supply, indirectly boosting productivity.

i am not seeing any serious compensation mechanisms in place. i am not seeing any serious compensation mechanisms being proposed.

that does not seem to be a happenstance. i believe that in a sane world, it would defy logic, unless the intent is to bring down the system (eg to make way for communism or some form of a foreign government takeover).

maybe the problem is that there are enough people who have fallen victim to a combination of normalcy bias, intellectual inertia, and (to keep it all wrapped up and on track) one world government style propaganda.

one thing i notice is that many of the once outlandish sounding claims of the JBS bookstore books are coming true. So it is also not as if we have not been warned, decades in the past.

Seniors are being drained of their life savings (in 401ks, pensions, mattresses). IIRC, this was commonly predicted years ago on FR.

Millenials carry on, many without stable jobs or homes.

Yet many of them are militant socialists, at least nominally happy with Biden.

This is somewhat sad, since millenials are our legacy and our future.

I think digital currency and social credit is pretty much a given at this point. IMHO the big remaining push will be for private gun ownership and confiscation.

Trump being the only national leader with the stature to stand in the way— therefore his life is in serious danger right now. I’m sure he is aware of this and is taking precautions, but he is literally the guy with his finger in the **** (no pun intended lol).
