Joe Biden is a little confused. Apparently, he mistakes the U-S Treasury for the overdraft feature that comes with his and Jill’s joint checking account. The government is operating with a 3 trillion dollar budget, but in one hundred days, Joe’s agreed to spend almost 2 trillion dollars for Covid relief, nearly 3 trillion for infrastructure repair, and last night another 1 point 8 trillion dollars, for the American Family plan, which sounds like a step up from Basic Cable, but is really a way to indoctrinate little Americans into socialism via all expenses paid preschool, where they’ll learn that every white male in history except FDR and the Kennedy boys were evil and as long as you vote democrat you’ll never have to work a day in your life.
As a card-carrying member of the media for 40 years, I’m rather ashamed of my profession. Biden’s spending spree–the numbers and where the dough is going is being unchallenged by the media. They accept at face value that President Robin Hood is giving to the poor by taking from the rich, through higher taxes on the richest Americans and corporations. Ignoring what history has taught us, that the rich will put their money into tax shelters and offshore accounts and corporations will re-incorporate somewhere else and or cut jobs—all of which backfires on Biden twice. The initial spending isn’t covered by taxes and the government will have to spend more to replace lost wages with jobless benefits, welfare, food stamps and more.
Now if Donald Trump had tried to play Santa Claus early in his term, the media would be tripping over one another to point out such foolishness.
Funny how everything Joe does is good for the country and everything Trump did was just this size of a felony.
Now I’ll stipulate that Trump has an ego just a little smaller than the Grand Canyon and that he has the morals of an alley cat.
But the guy got some stuff done. Like delivering a Covid killer in…well warp speed. He pretty much shut down the noise coming from the guy with the bad haircut in North Korea. He took out Iran’s most prominent nuclear scientist, putting the mullah’s two favorite projects, building a nuclear bomb and killing Americans, on back order. He made America energy independent, rattling the sheiks and trimming their disposable income, cash they could use to hire suicide jet jockeys to blow up American skyscrapers. Oh, and before Covid he had everybody’s 401 k appreciating and unemployment under 4 percent.
The media-ocrity never was much for history. Slamming Trump for his handling of Covid, they didn’t bother to check how Woodrow Wilson handled the Spanish flu epidemic. He didn’t. He ignored it, too busy getting Americans killed in World War I, Wilson did nothing as 600 thousand Americans perished from Spanish Flu. Twice the pandemic death toll from
Covid under Trump, but ignore it….Woody was a democrat. If Trump announced a cure for cancer–the media’s headline would scream…Trump puts thousands of doctors out of work. But while Biden continues to spend us into recession or worse….all you get from the media is a smile and a golf clap, Crane’s Corner—I’m Ed Crane
