Republicans are terrified Biden will stabilize the economy, so they’ve pulled out all the stops on the Economy Doomsday Siren. Gotta scare people into drastically cutting back spending to get a sustained recession. Party before Country, as usual.
Hoo boy. With 80+% of Americans saying the country is headed in the wrong direction, and 60% of them living paycheck to paycheck (even those earning $100K) this is just going to get worse.
And the saddest thing is, the Dems think this is all in our heads. The spreading Poverty, the Recession, the Stagflation, the bare shelves at the supermarket, the doubling of the price of gasoline? They think we’re all imagining it and they’re going to raise our taxes.
Biden: ‘I Don’t Know If We’re In A Recession, I’m Not A Biologist’
WASHINGTON, D.C. — America’s GDP has fallen over the last two quarters, stoking fears of a possible recession due to the fact that America is now in a recession. When asked whether the U.S. is now in a recession, Biden answered that he wasn’t qualified to answer, as he doesn’t have a biology degree.
“I don’t know if we’re in a recession, I’m not a biologist,” said Biden to the bronze bust of Hugo Chávez in his office. “Leave that stuff to the experts, Jack! If you ask me, the economy should lose some weight, anyway. Too fat. We deserve this for being racist anyway. Come on, man!”
The White House quickly clarified Biden’s statement, saying the U.S. is not in a terrible recession because the word “recession” has been redefined, as has the word “terrible.”
“It should be noted that the word ‘recession’ is being used by extreme far-alt-right-right extreme extremists,” said gay black Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre to reporters. “At best, the word ‘recession’ is a racist dog whistle. At worst, it’s a cruel slur against a historically marginalized economy. We condemn anyone who would use this racist language.”
At publishing time, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson couldn’t confirm whether America is in a recession either, as she is also not a biologist.
Which translates to “Now you can be taller than her”
Because RWNJs having orgåsms [bad word in Go Comics of delight at the prospect of blaming inflation on Democrats, the fact that spending $6.7 Trillion in 2020 (including $3.5T in December 2020, alone) to prop up the economy and provide Covid relief was somehow not inflationary, but Biden signing a bill for $3 Trillion three months later, in March 2021, for Covid relief checks was inflationary.
Blame it all on “Biden”! Oh, and pay no attention to the realities of 20 closed refineries, Putin invading Ukraine and upsetting world fuel and food, the blocking of all bills in the Senate by the Magas, and the assault on womens’ rights, and the drive to destroy democracy, and that silly little “insurrection” thing, and the widespread crime and corruption In Maga la-la land (with the hundreds of convictions and indictments with more to come), and, and…
