RedState earlier reported that Joe Biden gave Republicans another treat by remaining completely blind to the effects of the economic crisis on ordinary Americans. As the president tried to speak out against the inflation crisis, he admitted that it was bad news for the middle class.
What really stood out to me, however was not Biden’s flippancy in dismissing the worries of those who see their gas bill rise and empty shelves at the supermarket. After all, I’ve come to expect the president to be a complete joke when it comes to dealing with any crisis. Instead, his previous commentary focused on the causes of current inflation.
Did he cite the government’s monetary policy? How large was the spending in the past year? What about the supply chain crisis? He didn’t even try to blame COVID-19. Nah, he blamed price gouging and mumbled about “anti-trust” laws.

As he speaks, other nations must be going crazy laughing. Putting aside the content of Biden’s statement for a moment, he once again loses his train of thought to the point where you are left wondering exactly what he’s trying to say. He then claims that the inflation problem is being caused by price gouging and that he’s going to be looking at “anti-trust” laws to see if anything can be done. What anti-trust laws have to do with inflation is anyone’s guess, and I’m sure he has no idea either. As per usual, he’s just saying things because that’s what doddering old men typically do.
Yet, the content of his statement does matter, and it’s another example of Biden’s inability to take responsibility for anything. Like most Democrats, he is constantly looking for someone to blame for his policies. It isn’t a shadowy monopoly made up of business leaders that has created the current inflation crisis. Rather, it’s record-busting government spending that is crushing buying power along with a self-inflicted supply crunch that is killing middle-class America.
Instead of accusing price gouging myths, the president needs to ask whether increasing spending by trillions is going make matters worse or better. The answer is clearly the latter, yet he’s going ahead anyway. You ask why? It doesn’t matter what it does to him. He’s gotten rich living off the backs of taxpayers for half a century. Biden also knows a second term isn’t in the cards. So he can sink the entire economy and crush Americans without a second thought because what really matters here is that he gets to cosplay as a “transformational” figure.
This is embarrassing for a nation that used to be the best. The United States doesn’t have a leader, and that’s never been more apparent than the last few days of Biden beclowning himself on the world stage.
