A 50 year experienced democrat politician with a “C” average, from a third tier law school, and “Bidenomics” is the best he could bring us?

Since he's spent a lifetime "borrowing" the ideas of others, otherwise known as PLAGIARISM, the biggest challenge was to mask the original author.

I wonder what Dean Koontz would say about trillion dollar Biden.

Author Dean Koontz (18 books adapted to film w/ top stars) worked for the 1960’s era Appalachian Poverty Program, a federally funded initiative designed to help poor children.

In 1996 he said that while the program sounded “very noble and wonderful, ... in reality, it was a dumping ground for violent children ... and most of the federal funding ended up ‘disappearing somewhere.’

This greatly shaped Koontz’s political outlook. In his book, The Dean Koontz Companion, he recalled that he “... realized that most of these federal programs are not meant to help anyone, merely to control people and make them dependent.”

” I was forced to reconsider everything I’d once believed. I developed a profound distrust of government regardless of the philosophy of the people in power. I remained a liberal on civil-rights issues, became a conservative on defense, and a semi-libertarian on all other matters.”


Seeing the Catholic faith as a contrast to the chaos in his troubled family life, Koontz converted in college because faith provided existential answers for life.

He admired Catholicism’s “intellectual rigor,” saying it permitted a view of life that saw mystery and wonder in all things.

He sees Catholicism as English writer and Catholic convert G. K. Chesterton did: that it encourages a “joy about the gift of life”.

Koontz says that spirituality has always been part of his books, as are grace and our struggle as fallen souls, but he “never get[s] on a soapbox”.
