A small speech by a shrinking president

The big question going into Thursday night’s State of the Union speech was whether or not President Joe Biden would appear old and frail, so he shouted his way through the speech apparently to appear vigorous.
But the content of the speech amounted to much less. Biden’s volume was covering up glaring weakness; for every big problem facing the country, the president’s solutions are small.
Interest rates have caused the average monthly mortgage payment to almost double under Biden’s tenure, making houses unaffordable for most people. Biden’s answer? He’s going to eliminate closing costs and give home buyers a $800 tax credit. That’s not going to help.
Thanks to inflation, each of us is now spending more income on groceries than at any time in more than 30 years. Biden’s solution? He’s going to force Mars not to shrink the size of your chocolate bar. This means companies will raise the price of food even higher.
