Now They’re Gaslighting Us About Biden’s ‘Accomplishments’

 Now They’re Gaslighting Us About Biden’s ‘Accomplishments’ – Issues & Insights (issuesinsights.com)


"Yesterday, we pointed out how the press and Democratic Party politicians and operatives have started calling President Joe Biden a “good man,” despite all evidence to the contrary. Now the media are trying to convince the public that Biden has been a great president who racked up big accomplishments, which is another insult to our intelligence.

“Objectively speaking, President Joe Biden has presided over some significant, even historic, accomplishments,” is how the Atlantic put it.

Part I: “Joe Biden Is A Good Man? Please Don’t Insult Our Intelligence

"The Atlantic writer could name only three. Massive spending programs (all with borrowed money), mandating COVID vaccines (that were developed in record time thanks to Donald Trump’s Operation Warp Speed), and “the lowest unemployment rate in over 50 years” – a rate that has been steadily increasing all year.

"This is the short list Biden sycophants usually trot out. But it’s the list of Biden’s failures that is truly impressive. Here’s just a sampling:

"Inflation. Prices have climbed 20% in the three-and-a-half years Biden has been in office. That compares with 8% during Trump’s entire term, and just 15% during Barack Obama’s eight. The massive increase in prices under Biden was exactly what many economists predicted would happen when he and his fellow Democrats poured trillions of borrowed dollars onto a fast-growing economy.

"Wages. Thanks to Bidenflation, real wages are 2.5% below where they were when Biden took office, even though he sworn in when wages were below their previous peak. In contrast, real wages climbed 7% during Trump’s first term.  (They had been up 10% before COVID knocked them down.)

"National debt. Since he’s been in the White House, Biden has added $7 trillion to the national debt – an increase of 25%. And monthly interest payments on that debt are now 200% higher than they were when Biden took office.

"Crime. Democrats and their handmaidens in the press keep insisting that crime rates are down. But the National Crime Victimization Survey, which includes both crimes that were reported to the police and those that weren’t, showed a 75% increase in 2022 (the latest year for which data are available). That includes a doubling of aggravated assaults.

"Illegal immigration. "In Trump’s four years in office, roughly 2 million illegals were encountered at the border. Most of them were turned back after Trump ended “catch and release” for asylum seekers and used public health concerns as a reason to turn others around. So far under Biden, more than 7 million have crossed the border illegally – that we know of. He simply waved most of them into the country." . . .
