Biden motto, "Make America dependent again"

NO POLICIES TO ENCOURAGE JOBS OR SELF SUFFICIENCY

HOW LONG UNTIL THE RESULTS ARE APPARENT? 


After one week of executive orders and legislative proposals, it is clear that the Biden administration is not focused on creating jobs or endorsing policies that make America and American's self sufficient. It is a policy of dependence on the government and foreign interests.

One of his first edicts was pulling the permit for the keystone pipe-line. This will likely result in at least a temporary loss of thousands of jobs and income for those states involved. It will also result in lawsuits by companies here and in Canada, with likely billions in damages paid by the U.S. government. It has also damaged the trade treaty with Canada and Mexico.

This act along with his suspension of drilling on Federal land will raise the cost of energy, resulting in the loss of more jobs and the ability of some Americans to sustain their debt payment.

It will also move this country back to a dependence on foreign oil and the resulting economic and political involvement and manipulation that has kept us in numerous wars for decades.

The hoped for replacement in jobs from the solar and wind industry, that will never happen without massive subsidies from the federal government and will result in more business with China and more dependence on foreign manufacturing. 

It will also shift transportation of oil back to rail, much which is owned by Warren Buffet, a big donor to Biden and the democrats. Transportation of oil by rail and truck is the most expensive and most dangerous way, spills and accidents are inevitable.

He has suspended deportations of all illegal immigrants and his policy has encouraged more illegal immigrants who will soon be pouring across the southern border. This will depress the wages for unskilled workers all across the country and result in may more depending on government services.

Now he is proposing a $15.00 minimum wage for the whole country. Any federal government mandated increase on 50 separate states with 50 different economies is just plain dumb. Most places in Pa. today are paying $11 or $12 for low level workers. They are actually having a hard time finding workers that show up or do not have drug problems. In some states $15 is a low wage in some it may be middle class. It will cause huge disruptions to the economies and will result in less jobs and more automation. It will also likely be the last straw for many businesses struggling to stay afloat in these perilous times. The federal government should not be in the business of setting wages in the private sector. It will not end well.

These are just a few of the new anti-job and ant-self-sufficiency proposals, more are coming by the day. We will see more Americans dependent on government programs and foreign products. We will inevitably see a slow down in the economy. It seems that making political statements and political policies are going to be much more important than policies that will make America stronger and more self-sufficient.
