They’re Rooting Against the American Economy
Bidenomics. You’ve probably seen the word tossed around a bit recently.
Here’s what it essentially means: wage growth is now outpacing inflation, our economy is nearing full employment, and the middle class is growing once again.
Simply put, what President Biden is doing is working.
Now, we’ve got basically every conceivable job number pointing to that fact. You’d think it’s something to celebrate, even if there are disagreements with the policies that got us here.
Yeah, maybe a few decades ago.
Listen to Kevin McCarthy or any of his MAGA stooges in the House (they’ve all got the same talking points, you’ve heard one, you’ve heard ‘em all). They’re crying foul, claiming the job numbers are inflated and bouncing deranged conspiracies through their echo chamber. And if you are paying attention to the media – even the non-Fox networks are curiously pessimistic. It’s like the growth of the last two years didn’t happen.
What all of them are really doing is rooting against America. Rooting against our economy. Every month, they’re praying to see minimal job growth. They want higher inflation. They want to see the American people suffer. Because what hurts the American people helps them. The cruelty is the point.
Now, as absurd and perverse as that logic is, it’s nothing shocking, not for MAGA. Granted, even during normal political times, you’d expect the opposition party to argue against the economic vision of the party in power. But that brings us to the next point of this conversation.
If they think Bidenomics is a Soviet-era communist scheme and the job numbers are inflated, what exactly is their economic governing vision?
Easy answer. They won’t have one. Of course, there’s those governors who are stripping away labor protections, prioritizing putting kids to work in meat packing plants instead of keeping them in school. And let’s not forget the MAGA folks who are all about cronyism and getting richer themselves. Their motto is “every man for himself.” American workers? They’re totally clueless about how to help them.
We write to you a lot about the extremist assault on our democracy. But their cruel anti-American governing strategy needs to be a part of the conversation too.
MAGA doesn’t have a competing vision. They just get up everyday and root against the American worker on the off chance that it gets their Dear Leader back in power.
