Gary Varvel: Bidenomics is working as intended

Plus answering one of my critics

Aug 22, 2023

ARCHIVES: I drew this cartoon in 2013 to mock Democrat President Obama’s economic ‘Summer of Recovery.’

During Trump’s first term, he cut taxes and regulations and the economy responded with explosive growth. America became energy independent and even exported oil and gas to other nations.

Then came the COVID plandemic, I mean, pandemic and Trump shut down the country. Huge mistake. The economy tanked and now Americans are living through the nightmarish Democrat Presidency.

Biden has been trying to convince Americans that his Bidenomics is working. Oh, it’s working perfectly if his intention was to weaken America. Bidenflation is costing average American families $709 more per month compared to 2021. Inflation is a tax on your savings because that money is no longer worth as much. The elderly on a fixed income are feeling more than most. (see cartoon above)

According to the House Budget Committee, the Biden Administration's economic policies have led to the most rapid increase in mortgage rates since 1981. In January 2021, the average interest rate on a 30-year fixed rate mortgage was 2.7 percent—a record low. It is now 6.4 percent, an increase of 3.7 percentage points.

This meme that I found online asks some good questions.

ANSWERING A CRITIC

I expected some criticism from my abortion essay and I was right. Below is one such comment. FYI: I’ve noticed that when the left has no argument, they call me lazy. Now granted, I am lazy but this fellow makes a false statement about the Bible, so I gave him chapter and verse to help others see his error. Those with eyes to see, let them see below.
