Biden gets pushed aside by Democrats after he helped them clobber the middle class

Democrats just said goodbye to Joe Biden, the president of the United States. Many of us would say: good riddance.
Biden was asked to speak at the first night of the Democratic National Convention … and only on the first night, an utter humiliation of the man who, until a nanosecond ago, was running for a second term as president.
The theme of Day One was "Fighting for Ordinary Americans," and highlighted what Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have done for the middle class. Done to average Americans might have been more appropriate.
The Biden-Harris White House has clobbered middle-class Americans. Economist Steve Moore reports that, based on data from the Federal Reserve, "the average household has lost roughly $2,000 of purchasing power since Biden came into office. They are poorer today than four years ago."
At the same time, Americans hold more credit card debt than ever before – up almost $400 billion since Biden took office -- and delinquencies are on the rise. No one borrows at rates over 20% unless they must in order to make ends meet. That’s why those in lower income brackets and whites without a college degree consistently favor former President Donald Trump over Biden, and now Harris. They know their paycheck doesn’t go as far.
Democrats have run away from their former standard-bearer, and who can blame them? Biden has been one of the most-inept presidents of modern times, and, according to House Republicans, one of the most corrupt.
Republican representatives just released a multi-committee report on the Biden family influence-peddling racket, which they say warrants impeachment. Because Joe is not going to run for reelection, it is unlikely they will take action. Notwithstanding the web of shell companies, code names, mysterious payments to and from family members, the use of burner phones and pseudonyms, ample evidence that The Big Guy participated through meetings and phone calls with those leading ventures in China, Russia, Ukraine and other corrupt countries, the political world will move on.
