Biden\u2019s economic victory lap is 58 pages of malarkey<\/a><\/h1>\n
\n
By James Bovard<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The latest Biden victory lap is the administration\u2019s most shameless strutting of 2022. The White House Friday issued a 58-page Biden-Harris Economic Blueprint that claims to have performed more miracles<\/a> than accompanied the Sermon on the Mount.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Biden is still trying to take credit for job growth that happened only because of the end of lockdowns. In fact, his \u201csuccess\u201d is really a failure \u2014 as fewer people are working now than before COVID.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just one of the many whoppers packed into this ridiculous piece of propaganda:<\/p>\n

CLAIM:<\/strong> \u201cThe Administration\u2019s economic agenda has created deep incentives for . . . workforce training.\u201d<\/p>\n

FACT: <\/strong>Federal job training programs <\/a>have been a fiasco since the Kennedy administration. A training program created by Biden\u2019s American Rescue Plan Act spent $386 million but placed only 397 trainees in jobs.<\/p>\n

CLAIM: <\/strong>\u201cThe Administration led the world in an historic release of oil<\/a> from global reserves.\u201d<\/p>\n

FACT:<\/strong> Biden knows that high gasoline prices endanger Democratic control of Congress in the mid-term elections so he has emptied almost half of the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Former Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette condemned Biden\u2019s policy: <\/a>\u201cIt\u2019s not a supply emergency, and the only emergency I can see . . . is a political emergency.\u201d<\/p>\n

CLAIM: <\/strong>\u201cThe Administration has taken critical steps forward in . . . improving our immigration system.\u201d<\/p>\n

FACT:<\/strong> The administration has effectively opened the southern borders, enabling millions of illegal immigrants to enter the nation<\/a> and begin collecting federal benefits. Biden and most of the nation\u2019s media have ignored the resulting chaos in Texas, Arizona and other states.<\/p>\n
