Like All Robbers, They Wore Masks

"We can afford it," Joe Biden assured his audience.

"That's where it was when George W. was president," Biden insists.

Biden says all this pays for "Investments," a euphemism that actually means bureaucracy and wealth transfers and big-government programs and not what millions of Americans voluntarily give to private-sector entities in hopes of a financial return - a return that generally arrives in a Madoffian manner on government "Investments." Hunter Biden, a master at this type of investing, surely profits here as he did in Ukraine and China.

A disconnect exists between Biden's boasts and his promises.

Then he says we need "The largest jobs plan since World War II." Why does a nation with a rapidly falling unemployment rate now at six percent require a $2.3 trillion American Jobs Plan from a man who never created one and who last worked in a private-sector job before the completion of the 20-years-gone World Trade Center? Joe Biden convinces listeners that they do not need his plan even as he tries to convince them that they do.

Biden spoke of "a real chance to root out systemic racism that plagues America." He did not also declare war on Rougarou, the Jersey Devil, and Slender Man.

A squinty-eyed Joe Biden mercifully finished reading words that others wrote for him after an hour and six minutes.
