Occasional President Joe Biden and the shadowy cabal running his brain want you to know that his “plan” for the economy is working, despite your real-world experiences to the contrary.
This column is being written several hours ahead of Biden’s State of the Union address, in which he will no doubt insist that he has presided over the greatest economic growth in the history of everything. Democrats in the chamber will give him a standing-ovation or two while he trumpets his “success” in handling the economy.
Meanwhile, here in real America, we’re all still paying more for everything, and our monthly budgets aren’t helped by macroeconomic lectures from the bubble people in Washington, D.C.
The federal officials governing this country take on a “Court at Versailles” air more and more every day. They are involved in crafting legislation and making up regulations that affect our everyday lives, all the while being so detached from our experience that it sometimes seems like we don’t live in the same country.
