Everywhere I go, people are mystified about President Joe Biden’s economic agenda. So few of the policies comport with basic common sense that I’m asked the same question over and over: Is Biden intentionally trying to take a wrecking ball to the economy?
Is this all part of some diabolical plan, the “great reset,” to end our system of free market capitalism and replace it with some form of big government socialism?
Biden keeps saying that he wants to be a historic president who will “transition” the country into a new worker’s paradise where no one uses fossil fuels or electricity or cars and equality is paramount, ahead of growth and prosperity. Is he taking us there with no regard for the collateral damage to America?
My belief is that, no, I don’t think this is an intentional, nefarious Dr. Evil-type plot.
But if this were a scheme to burn down the village in order to rebuild it, Biden and his administration are doing a great job of it.
Here are seven Biden administration steps to undermine an economy and a society from within. They will all sound familiar with the president’s policies since he took office 21 months ago.
No. 1: Dismantle the nation’s energy supply
We get 70% of our energy from fossil fuels. Biden has declared war on American oil and gas, making us more dependent on our enemies for our basic energy needs.
No. 2: Don’t enforce the border
Biden is letting hundreds of thousands of potential criminals, terrorists, welfare recipients and enemies of the United States into our country through a porous southern border with Mexico. Immigration is good, but it must be orderly and regulated.
No. 3: Devalue the nation’s currency through inflation
Inflation is up nearly 9% since Biden came into office. Inflation is a means to erode the value of a currency.
No. 4: Destroy the nation’s finances by running up the debt by multiple trillions of dollars
No president in modern times has so recklessly pushed our nation into debt as rapidly as Biden through his $4 trillion in spending paid for with red ink.
No. 5: Divide rather than unite the nation
Rich versus poor, black versus white, gay versus straight, rural versus urban. Biden promised unity. Instead, he pits groups against each other. This is the identity politics of the Left that is the opposite of “e pluribus unum.”
No. 6: Dumb down and indoctrinate our children with anti-American propaganda in the schools and media
And allowing teachers unions and left-wing activists to take over the curriculum with anti-American propaganda. It is the opposite of nurturing patriotism and love of country.
No. 7: Decriminalize a lot
Let criminals onto the streets. End bail. Empty the prisons. Let minor crimes go unpunished. Biden’s policies favor criminals over victims. It’s a scene out of a Batman movie.
Are these policies intentional or simply completely misguided? I don’t know. But does it matter? Either way, our country is in grave peril.

Consider a new Marxist version of “Wizard of Oz” with the Obama inner circle as the wizard behind the curtain. The Prez is the voice but the wizards are providing most of the dialogue as we scratch our heads on why the American economy fell apart so fast. Maybe 100 years of under education by early leadership has led to a population void in understanding economics and how the capitalist system functions? Add in a poor representation of 156 years of agricultural capitalism in America before 1776?
The destruction of our constitutional republic began long ago. It has only intensified with the Obama-Biden administrations and the neglect of a weak party of Lincoln. M A G A
Mr. Steele, you wrote “as we scratch our heads on why the American economy fell apart so fast”, the economy is far better today than when President Biden took office last year. The economy had taken a huge hit from the pandemic under President Trump, the economy was growing at a fast hot rate until the Fed took action to try to control consumer inflation. The economy is actually fine, the consumer inflation is not caused by anything any country is doing, there are just too few goods, it is that simple. International supply chain interruptions are beyond the control of any one country. It will take time for products to be built and shipped on a regular schedule.
Now, I am pretty sure you will almost have a heart attack when you read these words, Mr. Steele, because you won’t see them in the actual articles in the Prescott Enews. I am completely A political, I carry no water for any political party. I am a registered Independent in Arizona, and I vote very carefully. I use facts, logic and reason to form my opinions. When I look at the world, consumer inflation is raging on every populated continent, that is a fact, it is not debatable. The U.S. is actually doing better than many European countries in regards to inflation rates. I know using inflation as a cudgel politically to blame the party in power is common to all political parties, but in this case it is at best intellectually dishonest, and at worst craven, and selfish. The American people should have political parties that use truth, rather than disinformation, to gain political office. That is why I am independent.
Mr. Hotchkiss, I don’t know where you went to school secondary or college but you should seek a refund. Clearly you were not exposed to any actual economics classes. We may accidentally be doing better than European Union countries but that is questionable.
As a registered independent in Arizona (good for you) I would hope your trips to the gas station and grocery store would convince you the last two years of Biden’s Democrat policies has raised those costs considerably; gasoline about 75% higher today than when President Trump left office.
Unless you are watching NEWSMAX or FOX you are not exposed to any political truth or facts.
PBS, CNN, MSNBC or the other alphabet broadcasters are opinion only sourses.
Woo, woooooo, here comes The Clue Train, next stop are the people that use the COVID-1984 scamdemic power grab as an excuse for (fill-in-the-blank-you-name-it).
Is the fentanyl crisis that is killing 10’s of Thousands of Americans due to the Radical Left’s open borders and attacks on border law enforcement or due to COVID-1984?
Was the disaster in Afghanistan due to Joe “Election Thief” Biden’s weakness or due to COVID-1984?
Was Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine due to Joe “Election Thief” Biden’s weakness or due to COVID-1984?
Is the horrible spike in crime due to the Radical Left’s war on law enforcement or due to COVID-1984?
Is the massive drop in the stock market due to the insane spending and idiotic economic policies of the Radical Left or is it due to COVID-1984?
Was the decision to address inflation by spending an even more insane amount of money due to the Radical Left’s desire to steal money or due to COVID-1984?
Anyone seeing a pattern here?
Cue the Jeopardy tune…
D’oh! I forgot one.
Is the spike in gasoline prices & other fossil fuel energy costs and (can you believe it?) THE HEATING OIL SHORTAGE IN THE NORTHEAST due to Joe Biden’s war on fossil fuels* or is it due to COVID-1984?
*New Castle, NH 2019, Joe “Election Thief” Biden, quote:
“I want you to look at my eyes. I guarantee you, I guarantee you we’re going to end fossil fuels.”
*Democrat Presidential Debate, 2020, Joe “Election Thief” Biden, quote:
“No more subsidies for the fossil fuel industry. No more drilling including offshore. No ability for the oil industry to continue to drill period. It ends.”
