Is Biden winning as he and the media claim?

&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Democrats are taking victory laps for all Biden’s &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;achievements&period;” &nbsp&semi; Of course&comma; the Democrat&&num;8217&semi;s crony media is hyping the White House narrative&period;&nbsp&semi; They are claiming that things are turning around for the most unpopular President in American history &lpar;according to the polls&rpar;&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">According to White House Chief-of-Staff Ron Klein&comma; Biden will be sending his Cabinet to travel across the country to tell the people what good things Democrats have done for them&period;&nbsp&semi; &lpar;Don’t Cabinet members have better things to do&quest;&rpar;&nbsp&semi; After Labor Day&comma; the White House is planning a major celebratory event – which I suspect will get better coverage than the Fourth of July&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">It makes one wonder why it takes sooo much marketing to convince the folks at home that they are getting all those wonderful benefits&period;&nbsp&semi; Is it because the folks back home do not believe in all those benefits&quest;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Democrats and their media allies have been whining a lot lately that the public does not understand all the good Biden is doing because of &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;messaging”&period;&nbsp&semi; It is not the product&comma; but the messaging that is the problem&period;&nbsp&semi; It reminds me of all the advertising of the wonders of the Edsel&period; If you apply Democrat thinking&comma; it was merely the &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;messaging” that resulted in bad sales&period;&nbsp&semi;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Those on the left claim that it is all a lack of &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;messaging” when&comma; in fact&comma; they have had the major left-wing media hyping the Democrats’ good news narratives full time&period;&nbsp&semi; The Big Seven &lpar;ABC&comma; CBS&comma; NBC&comma; CNN&comma; MSNBC&comma; New York Times and Washington Post&rpar; and others have been pumping up the Biden accomplishments on a permanent loop&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Why are Democrats so worried that we the people will not appreciate Biden’s work without massive public relations&comma; advertising and direct salesmanship&quest;&nbsp&semi; Why does the &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;message” have to be drilled into the public consciousness over and over&quest;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Methinks the public may have a different view&period;&nbsp&semi; Maybe the people DO understand the Biden &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;achievements” and … &lpar;Democrats should brace themselves&rpar; … they do not like them&period;&nbsp&semi; You may have noticed that every time we do not embrace left-wing propaganda&comma; Democrats and the left-wing media say we are ignorant or evil&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Only the most gullible or partisan would take what Biden&comma; Democrats and the media say at face value&period;&nbsp&semi; Exaggerated and even false claims are part of their DNA&period;&nbsp&semi; Just look at what they labeled this latest &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;accomplishment” – the <strong>Inflation<&sol;strong> <strong>Reduction<&sol;strong> Act&comma; even though the Congressional Budget Office and virtually every economist has said it does not address inflation at all &&num;8212&semi; or adds to it&period;&nbsp&semi; If Congress were a private business&comma; they would be charged with fraudulent advertising&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Biden says his legislation will reduce the cost of medicines&period;&nbsp&semi; He does not tell the people that it will apply only to SOME medicines – and any potential benefits may not be seen until 2026&comma; if then&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Biden brags that he is sticking it to big business by creating a minimum 15 percent tax – a tax increase that will be passed on to the consumers&period;&nbsp&semi; He does not tell the folks back home that businesses do not actually PAY any taxes – but pass the cost on to the consumer&period;&nbsp&semi; That is you and me – hitting hardest on the poorest of us&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Biden says that no one with an income under &dollar;400&comma;000 will see a tax increase in his misnamed Inflation Reduction Act&period;&nbsp&semi; He does not talk about the taxes that will indirectly flow to the middle class&period;&nbsp&semi; And he will be adding an army of new IRS agents to collect alleged taxes from <strong>everyone<&sol;strong> – not just the super-rich&period;&nbsp&semi; I say &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;alleged” because many people dispute the taxes owed&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Biden is counting on the American people to be gullible&period;&nbsp&semi; We are not supposed to understand that all that spending is going to put inflationary pressures on the economy&period;&nbsp&semi; Yes … the Inflation Reduction Act is more than likely going to result in future inflation&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Biden and the Democrats are counting on the people not to know the history of such government proposals&period;&nbsp&semi; If you are not aware of the history&comma; pay close attention&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">When Government officials tell you how much their program will cost – and how much economic benefit will be received&comma; you can bet that the revenue to be generated will fall far short of the projections and the cost will far exceed the projections&period;&nbsp&semi; Think of the current size of the National Debt &lpar;approaching &dollar;30 trillion&rpar; and all those past promises that the latest proposals would reduce it&period; Uh huh&period;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">In terms of climate change&comma; the &dollar;369 billion dollar expenditure is not likely to make much difference in human carbon omissions – and have virtually no impact on global warming&period;&nbsp&semi; So say leading climatologists&period;&nbsp&semi; What the Biden legislation does is pick winners and losers in providing energy to the American people&period;&nbsp&semi; They are providing tax subsidies to solar and wind energy companies even though the scientists tell us that they cannot provide sufficient energy at an affordable price&period;&nbsp&semi; In the future&comma; you will pay for your energy in your personal electric or gas bill – and you will pay for Biden’s subsidies in your tax bill&period;&nbsp&semi; &lpar;Is that a hidden tax increase&quest;&rpar;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">The problem with the Biden legislation is NOT &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;messaging”&period;&nbsp&semi; It is the legislation itself&period;&nbsp&semi; Unfortunately&comma; Democrats have passed the damn thing – and now we and future generations will be paying a high cost in money and lifestyle because of it&period;&nbsp&semi; But the federal government will grow – which is the Democrats’ primary interest&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Democrats have said that you and I will see the effects of the legislation&period;&nbsp&semi; I am sure we will – but not in the way Biden is telling us&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">&nbsp&semi;So&comma; there &OpenCurlyQuote;tis&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;
