Joe Biden Insists the U.S. Is Doing Better Than When Trump Was in Office

President Joe Biden is confident that after two years in the White House, the U.S. is still in better than shape when he was handed the keys.

During an interview with MSNBC, Biden claimed that most of what the Democrats have passed and what they’ve done has not “kicked in yet,” in response to polling data showing people trust Republicans more when it comes to the economy.

MSNBC host Jonathon Capehart asked “here’s a problem, I think, for you and Democrats, despite all the good economic news, low unemployment, record job creation, wage increases, Social Security cost of living adjustment to 8.7%, the highest in 40 years. And yet, poll after poll shows that the American people trust Republicans on the economy and think that Republicans should control Congress. How do you break through that?”

Biden responded by insinuating that maybe by his fourth year in office, so-called good change will come, adding that Americans should not trust the polls.

“I’m not sure about the polls. Because the way people conduct polls today, it’s hard. 90% of it is you get on the telephone where you have to call seven times to get somebody to answer the phone, number one. Number two, a lot of what we’ve done and we’ve passed has not kicked in yet,” Biden said.

The President then mentioned all of the things his administration has done so far, yet leaving out all of the havoc that he has caused almost overnight.

That depends on what his definition of better is. I’m sure it doesn’t correspond with anyone with a functioning brain.

How’s that for a softball start? Anyway, I’ve got to give Capehart credit here. I’m sure he really, really wanted to lick Biden’s shoes. But he refrained from doing so. Quite the professional, Mr. Capehart is.

He lives in the Bubble Zone. I talk to those who also live in the Bubble Zones, and everything good is Biden while everything bad is Trump.

We have an entire half population affilicted with Borderline Personality Disorder. The rest comprise Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

He’s in a tough spot. He can’t say, “Well, what we’re doing is damaging the country, and were going to revert back to a freer enterprise model.”

Nope, he has to move on with the failing green/socialist model. So all he can do (they do for him) is make up fantasies and lie.

Absolute tripe. Sure the unemployment figures look great, but unemployment was caused by Democrat governors shutter businesses. Now people when back to work, plus the Bureau of Labor Statistics is counting a person holding two jobs as two people employed. You can thank inflation for people needing two jobs to make ends meet. The other problem with in inflation is that real wages have decreased. They went up under Trump, particularly for blue collar workers.

The housing market is in the middle of being destroyed. That will trigger massive unemployment. We are only at the beginning of this economic mess. When unemployment hits over the next six months, the next economic tidal wave will hit. Americans have significantly increased their use of credit since the beginning of the pandemic. Credit cards are maxed and credit card companies are raising their rates. Auto repos are accelerating. Banks are in weak shape already. Just add unemployment to the picture and we have another financial crisis.

Don’t look at your 401k. People have lost 25% on average since Biden came into residence. That is robbing the young from a couple of years of compounded growth. It is decreasing retired folks income. As for social security the past two years cost of living increase lag inflation. Last year’s increase didn’t entirely make up for inflation in 2021, at least not the staples retired people buy. Plus they had to deal with rising costs all of this year on last year’s income. The same is true this year. The 8.7% increase is based on a basket of goods and most seniors don’t need the entire basket. They need gas, food and heating/AC. Inflation on those items are way above 8.7% and keep increasing every passing month. Young people should never rely on social security.

Biden and Democrats continue to gas light by saying we are better off than the rest of the world. Guess what, that is somewhat true, but America is catching up with the rest of the world in terms of energy policy and social programs. Biden and Democrats are trying their very best to be socialists. We’ll be in the same place as the rest of the world soon because we partake in the global economy and we don’t manufacture enough things in America.

There is no doubt that things are going to get worse if we continue down this road of socialism. It will cost lives. The biggest crisis yet to hit will be in medicine. It is going to make the pandemic look like child’s play. The next time you go to the doctor or hospital just check out where things come from. It ain’t America.

Thank you Biden, Democrats and RINOs.
