Joe Biden was a loyal soldier in the United States Senate for thirty-six years and another eight years as Vice-President. At the time, Joe Biden never pursued a leadership role in the Senate or as Vice-President. As a loyal soldier, he was rewarded with the Democratic nomination for President of the United States
In four short years, President Trump put America on top. We were energy independent, an economic powerhouse, a nation second to none, and once again master of our own borders. We rejoiced in the results if not in the man.
President Trump was everything President Obama wasn’t. Just as President Trump undid President Obama’s record, Joe Biden is undoing President Trump’s accomplishments and mimicking President Obama’s legacy. Undoing one person’s accomplishments and copying another’s record is not leading; it is being a loyal soldier.
For over forty years, I have been running construction work. In my twenties and thirties, I learned how to lead individuals to accomplish more than what they thought was possible. In the last twenty years, I have assisted those that desired to become leaders. I discovered that an individual who was content to be a loyal soldier could never become a leader because they were satisfied to follow. Loyal soldiers are essential, but I could never count on them to lead a team.
We can count on Loyal Biden to follow in President Obama’s footsteps only in his reckless way. If Obamacare was a “Big F##### Deal,” then Loyal Biden’s policies would be “A Bigger F##### Deal.” Placing a piece of wood on the fire heats a home but piling wood on the fire can burn the house to the ground.
The average college debt is approximately $35,000 per graduate. Biden is shifting that personal debt to all Americans because he thinks it is too burdensome on college graduates. Everyone’s portion of the national debt now stands at $85,000 and Loyal Biden will increase that debt by approximately $15,000 with his new programs for a total per person debt of $100,000 or $400,000 for a family of four. If a $35,000 debt for a graduate is too burdensome, then what is $400,000 debt for a family of four? Loyal Biden does not understand the impact he will have on families just trying to get by.
Obama’s goal was to win in Afghanistan then remove all troops; however, he could only reduce the number of troops to avoid destabilizing the region and alienating our allies. Loyal Biden removed all the troops, destabilizing the region and alienating our allies within his first eight months in office. Biden is unaware that we are now more vulnerable to our enemies and more isolated from our allies.
Obama’s immigration policies and his executive actions led to increases in illegal immigration across our southern border. Loyal Biden’s immigration policies and executive actions have resulted in an illegal immigration crisis that even President Obama questions. The illegal immigration crisis at the border is spreading throughout the country, overwhelming community schools and healthcare services. These problems are not visible to Biden as he peers through the windows in the White House.
The Biden Stimulus came with huge risks per the Washington Post article written by Lawrence H. Summers dated 02.02.2021, “… The Obama stimulus was half as large as the output shortfall, the proposed Biden stimulus is three times as large as the projected shortfall.” The two concerns outlined in the article were inflationary pressures and economic injustice. The Central Bank expects the 2022 inflation rate to be 3.4% up from 2%. For those who shop for groceries and buy gasoline, it feels like two or three times that amount while it is business as usual for Biden.
Biden quickly reversed Trump’s policies that resulted in low energy costs and energy independence. Biden re-introduced Obama’s energy policies of higher prices and dependency on middle eastern oil. Biden’s solution to today’s rising cost of gasoline and home heating costs is to plead for middle eastern countries to produce more oil and gas to lower prices in America. At the same time, he is hindering oil and gas production here at home to appease the radical green progressive movement.
In college, we heated our homes with wood to save the cost of heating oil. One winter night the guys next door put too much wood in the fireplace and started a flue fire. As we stood outside watching the flames extend above the chimney, we all silently prayed their house wouldn’t burn to the ground.
Our country is in such a situation. Loyal Biden cannot comprehend what he has started, nor can he bring under control the raging fires. What we can do is limit what fuel he can pile on the raging fires. President Obama stated in 2014, “I’ve got a pen and phone.” Congress and the courts must take away President Biden’s Pen and Phone and exercise their constitutional responsibilities.
Like that cold dark winter night, “Pray our country does not burn to the ground.”
