Biden’s Desperate Race to the Lying Bottom
And the clarity that can be found within.

On Monday, Joe Biden uncorked the largest lie of a 50-year political career overstuffed with them.
“My Build Back Better Agenda costs zero dollars,” he tweeted. “Instead of wasting money on tax breaks, loopholes, and tax evasion for big corporations and the wealthy, we can make a once-in-a-generation investment in working America. And it adds zero dollars to the national debt.”
It’s a $3.5 trillion bacchanal of nation-killing socialist largesse, and Biden wants you to think it’s free.
There is clarity in this, you know.
For the longest time, Republicans used to beat themselves up trying to modulate their response to the insane aggressions on basic economics the Democrat Party routinely commits. Half the party would jump up and down claiming that “Democrats are economic illiterates!” while the other half would say “No, that’s not it — they know their voters are economic illiterates, or else their voters are venal and greedy and don’t care about economics, and they just want to lie to their voters to get votes.”
Often, this has been a distinction without a difference. The effect is the same: you get economically illiterate economic policies from the Democrats, and you get the debt and recession those policies bring. That those policies came about through stupidity or evil doesn’t matter, because the result is both evil and stupid.
Except now, there is no more debate. Nobody, not even AOC or Hank Johnson, is so stupid as to actually believe a $3.5 trillion government spending binge carries no cost.
