What is so good about Biden’s good news claims

&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Democrats and their media cronies are pushing a claim that Biden has achieved wonderful things for the American people&comma; but the message is not getting out&period; <&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">If you consider just how many times every day&comma; Democrats and the media tout Biden’s claimed successes&comma; one cannot conclude that the folks back home have not heard Biden’s good news message over and over&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">According to Democrat theology&comma; if the people knew of all those wonderful things Biden and Democrats claim to have done&comma; the election polling numbers would be trending in their favor&period;&nbsp&semi; But they are not&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">What Democrats and the left-leaning media cannot – or will not – consider is that the people may not agree that all those things Biden did – and many things he does not brag about – are good news&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">The first problem for Democrats is that there is a lot of bad news for Biden to offset the alleged good news&period;&nbsp&semi; There is the inflation … product shortages … crime …&period; border crashers … a drug epidemic … school indoctrination … nutty and dangerous identity politics … Afghanistan …&nbsp&semi; OPEC&plus; sticking it to Biden … anti policing by Democrat office holders … etc… etc…etc…<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">The hyperbolic claims of insurrection … coups … and voting suppression … the end of democracy …&nbsp&semi; are obviously not selling well among we the people no matter how hysterical the reporting from the left gets&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">With all that running against them&comma; Democrats hoped that the overturning of Roe v&period; Wade would be a game-changer&period;&nbsp&semi; As I noted in several commentaries&comma; abortion is not an issue that drives votes except for a very small number of single-issue folks on both sides of the partisan divide&period;&nbsp&semi; It never has been the issue to decide an election – and will not be this time&period;&nbsp&semi; <&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Just look at the polls and you will see abortion way down the list of issues that will drive the vote&period;&nbsp&semi; Inflation is number one&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">All that is left is the effort we see as Democrats and the media desperately try to pump life into the good news claims&period;&nbsp&semi; They basically are talking about the passage of several bits of legislation&period;&nbsp&semi; <&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Democrats speak of the &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;benefits” of those actions – but the voters see the downside&period;&nbsp&semi; If you are worried about current and future inflation&comma; you may be inclined to see all the money spent on the Biden legislation – estimated in the &dollar;4 trillion dollar range – as a contributing cause of the inflation&period;&nbsp&semi; <&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Forgiving student debt is a double-edged sword – and there may be more opposition than support&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">The promise to reduce medical costs will not be seen for some time&comma; if at all – and by then inflation will overtake the benefits&comma; as it has with the wage increases for which Biden takes credit&period;&nbsp&semi; It will also take time for the jobs program to produce real jobs&period;&nbsp&semi; <&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">You may recall how President Obama said jobs were &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;shovel-ready” in conjunction with his jobs program – and they were not&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Sorry&comma; Mr&period; President&period;&nbsp&semi; Your problem is not that voters have not heard of your good news programs&period;&nbsp&semi; It may be they are not necessarily seeing them as good news&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">So&comma; there &OpenCurlyQuote;tis&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;
