Awesome timing, Joe. As the new crappy inflation numbers came out today, Joe Biden threw a party on the White House lawn to celebrate the passage of the deceptively named Inflation Reduction Act. This is like throwing a fire safety party from within a bringing building.
After flattening out in July, inflation is once again on the rise in August. Even with a slightly dropping gas price, the consumer price index was way up because food, power, and housing are all through the roof. This is just another way to say that people who were struggling before are struggling even more now.
To “fix” this runaway inflation, that is caused by reckless government spending, democrats passed the $770 billion Inflation reduction Act, which all economists agree won’t reduce inflation at all. That was part of the $2.85 trillion the democrats spent in August.
Today, on the White House lawn, Biden and the democrats threw a party to celebrate their continued screwing of the American people.
Things kicked off with hippy dinosaur James Taylor singing “Fire and Rain” a song about suicide. Somehow that feels like a fitting metaphor for what Biden is doing to this country.
Then Chuck Schumer came out and announced, “This is a great and celebratory day.”
“We’re here to talk about things that matter to families: lowering costs, creating jobs, and helping them make ends meet,” Schumer added.
In Chuck’s defense, he just said they were there to talk about those things, not that the democrats were actually doing those things.
Next was Nancy Pelosi who started with, “Let’s hear it for the staff because the staff has made suh-juh-min.”
If you say so, Nance.
“What a thrill it is to be here to celebrate this life-changing legislation. Making Inflation Inflation Reduction Act Inflation Reduction Act, so beautifully named for all it does,” said Pelosi.
One thing it definitely doesn’t do is reduce inflation, so maybe the name is not as beautiful as Pelosi thinks. Also, in defense of Pelosi, she didn’t say it was going to change anyone’s life for the better, just that it was life-changing, kind of like an Alzheimers diagnosis.
After Pelosi was done speaking, Joe Biden was supposed to come out. 4 minutes later he finally made his way to the podium, with Kamala Harris by his side.
Harris spoke briefly with nothing worth quoting but she did break out in a cackle several times. After her was some rando black woman and then finally Biden spoke.
Biden told the black woman that he was really impressed with her as if he didn’t think a black woman was capable of giving a 5 minute speech. He then creeped on that poor woman, pulling her in for a hug and sniff.
“Acta avakits avakih activists,” said Biden.
Yup.
“What a great day. Exactly 4 weeks ago today I signed the Inflation Reduction Act in the law. Ess single most important legislation passed in the Congress, combat inflation and one of the most significant laws in our nation’s history in my view,” said Biden.
In Joe’s defense, his view is skewed by dementia so it may well be significant to him. To us, it is just more unnecessary spending that will further drive up inflation.
Also, I find it interesting that Joe said it was the most important legislation passed in the Congress. Does he think there are other entities that can pass legislation? I know he tries with executive orders, but that’s not the way it’s supposed to be and it’s a clear threat to our democracy.
At the beginning of the speech, Joe took his jacket off and laid in on the ground. As he was walking back and forth, ranting and raving, he suddenly realized he was trampling his jacket. I feel like that’s another good metaphor for how Joe Biden has stomped the American people.
On the day that bad inflation numbers came out, democrats had the nerve to throw themselves a party for wasteful spending that will make inflation worse. Plus, they think that depressing music from James Taylor and speeches by Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Kamala Harris, and Joe Biden is a party. I actually think that’s what hell must be like.
