Biden strikes economic populist tone during campaign rally before exuberant union members

[Social Media]

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — President Joe Biden delivered an unapologetically economic populist message Saturday during the first rally of his reelection campaign, telling an exuberant crowd of union members that his policies had created jobs and lifted the middle class. Now, he said, is the time for the wealthy to “pay their fair share” in taxes.

Biden spotlighted the sweeping climate, tax and health care package signed into law last year that cut the cost of prescription drugs and lowered insurance premiums — pocketbook issues that advisers say will be the centerpiece of his argument for a second term.

“I’m looking forward to this campaign,” Biden said to cries of “four more years!” before adding, “We’ve got a record to run on.”

Hmm. How so?

Record high inflation, proxy war with Russia, loss of energy independence, looming recession, reckless spending, woke agenda, violent crimes on the rise, polarized nation (bring America together huh!), Oh, open borders! I could go on but I'm sure most get the idea.

There isn't record high inflation, the US has done better than most peer countries, if not all.

 

Proxy war with Russia had nothing to do with Biden.

 

The topic of U.S. energy independence often sparks debate, with many believing that the country achieved this status under President Trump and lost it during President Biden's tenure.

I don’t find this definition very useful, because we began importing crude oil before 1950, and we have imported it every year since. Under this definition, the U.S. hasn’t been energy independent in at least 75 years.

2.3 Trillion giveaway mainly to the rich wasn't reckless spending? You'll need to provide a ;link to evidence of reckless spending. I dispute your claim.

 

Borders aren't open.

Exactly. Give out freebies to buy votes for a longer term of power,  run up the debt and let the opposition sort it out when you are finally booted out.

 

Straight from the left wing playbook.

The link above shows the debt reducing under Biden after skyrocketing under trump. Could we at least agree to use the facts unless you can provide evidence?

100% not true.

 

Why do you think they needed to increase the debt ceiling ?

 

Here are the facts. I hope you can read graphs.

From my link

 

It’s worth noting that the figures used in the graph above measure debt held by the public, which experts at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities argue is more economically meaningful than gross debt. The former measures the government’s borrowing from the private sector and foreign governments, excluding debt it owes itself. Debt held by the public is currently about $24 trillion, and gross debt, which is subject to the congressional limit, is about $31 trillion.

About the economy and economies in general .

Spending money to spur the economy is OK , as long as the spurred economy pays for itself .

   Spending and getting more into debt isn't a long term solution , it just delays the debt crisis

so spending money for a tax cut wasn't ok because it didn't pay for itself?

Stop posting misinformation. 

The problem with 100% true is it can’t be applied when referring to complex causes.

There was indeed ‘a need’ to borrow to spend during the pandemic.

 

There was absolutely not ‘a need’ to hand $1.3 Trillion in tax breaks to the hyper wealthy and high profit corporations.

Have you got any links to refute the clear facts that my links proved?

 

Sounds like you are trying to obfuscate.

 

Please try to avoid posting misinformation about the increase in national debt that has clearly occured under the Biden administration. 

 

Much appreciated.

I’m not refuting the data, I’m refuting your comment:

 

”

Why do you think they needed to increase the debt ceiling ?”

 

You’ve asked a question, I have responded with an example of why the debt ceiling needed to be increased and another which was totally unnecessary.

Trump knows that.

 

If you tell the truth it is easy to remember.

 

If you tell lies you need to remember which lie you told about what.

 

Or if you are Trump you ignore that, and spew out a few more lies daily.

I had to check the OP  -  yup it's about Biden.
