Well, here we are. Inflation at a 40 year high. Rising interest rates. And now this. The US National debt is 31 trillion dollars. By any measure, things aren’t going so great. Now we remember distinctly being told Biden and his build back better agenda would cost zero dollars. It would add zero dollars to the national debt.
Yet here we are. But in fairness, we are spending lots of money everywhere. Maybe it’s the 1.9 trillion-dollar stimulus spending. Maybe it’s student loan forgiveness? Maybe it’s billions to Ukraine. Maybe it’s all of the above? There’s one thing we know for sure though. When the press secretary steps up to the podium, the 31 trillion-dollar debt be Putin’s fault. Yup. That’s how it works. When gas is expensive it’s Putin’s fault, Biden has nothing to do with that. When prices come down? It’s because of ol Joe’s business savvy. Now that prices are on the rise again? Damn you, Putin! Why would you do that?!
So, as the US economy circles the drain, energy gets more expensive and out national debt reaches record highs, the countdown to blaming Putin begins. Let’s see what mental gymnastics the white house has in store. At least we’ll get a show out of it. Maybe they can even team up with Facebook to fact check everyone who contradicts them while they’re at it. Don’t even think about criticizing Biden spending policies you unwashed masses. Clearly, it’s Putin’s fault. We just need to be told how that insane notion is true. Let’s wait and see.
