Conservative Brief: WH Claims Biden, Harris Have ‘One Of The Most Successful’ Admins Despite 2024 Loss
The White House said in a statement that the Biden-Harris administration is among the most successful in history, just weeks after Vice President Kamala Harris was soundly defeated by President-elect Donald Trump in the 2024 election.
President Biden and Harris took office amid the COVID-19 pandemic and a “reeling” economy, the email that was distributed on Monday emphasized. As the message continued, it called their government “one of the most successful administrations in history” and said it “will be leaving behind the best economy in the world.”
“Under President Biden and Vice President Harris’ leadership, 16 million jobs have been created, and we’ve gotten women and people of color back in the labor force at record rates,” the memo stated. “A record 20 million new business applications have been filed, and inflation is down to near pre-pandemic levels.”
The White House added that “our success” in these areas was due to “passing and implementing legislation that rebuilt our nation’s infrastructure, made the largest investment in climate action in history, lowered prescription drug costs, and spurred a manufacturing renaissance.”
The memo quotes unnamed “business leaders” calling the U.S. economy “among the best-performing economies” in decades.
Oh, buckle up folks, because the White House has released a memo that would make the Brothers Grimm roll over in their graves with jealousy. According to the “land of make-believe,” under President Biden and Vice President Harris, the economy has miraculously transformed into a utopia where jobs sprout from the ground like weeds after a rainstorm, and inflation has been tamed with the wave of a magic wand.
Let’s break down this fantasy:
1. Job Creation Magic: “16 million jobs have been created.” Oh, really? Has anyone noticed if these jobs are just the ones that were lost because, you know, there was this little thing called a global shutdown? Did we just find all the jobs we left in the ‘before times,’ or are we counting every gig economy job as if it’s a full-time miracle?
2. Diversity Hiring on Steroids: They’re patting themselves on the back for getting “women and people of color back in the labor force at record rates.” Was this by policy or because everyone had to go back to work to pay for the increased cost of living? Or maybe it’s because there was a shortage of people willing to work for the wages on offer during the “pandemic recovery”?
3. The Business Application Boom: “20 million new business applications!” That sounds impressive until you realize that most of these are probably people starting Etsy shops or trying to make a living off of Amazon dropshipping from their garages. It’s like counting every lemonade stand as a burgeoning business empire.
4. Inflation Tamed by Wizardry: “Inflation is down to near pre-pandemic levels.” Last I checked, my grocery bill still thinks it’s 2022, and my gas tank hasn’t gotten the memo about this supposed deflation. Sure, if you squint hard enough and look at the right graph, maybe, but let’s not pretend like our wallets have felt this “near pre-pandemic” inflation.
5. The Infrastructure Fantasy: “Rebuilt our nation’s infrastructure.” Have you seen any of this rebuilding? Because I’m still dodging potholes that could swallow a small car, and my internet connection would be jealous of a dial-up modem’s speed.
6. Climate Action and Manufacturing Renaissance: They’ve “made the largest investment in climate action in history.” Sure, if by history, we mean since last year, because let’s not forget all those other times we’ve heard this line. And a manufacturing renaissance? I guess if you count the factories we’ve opened in our dreams while struggling to find parts for the ones we have.
Conclusion:
This memo from the White House might as well be titled “The Adventures of Biden and Harris in Wonderland.” They’re out here claiming every minor economic twitch as a monumental success, like a magician taking credit for the sun rising because he waved his hat. Let’s face it, the real “success” here is in the art of spinning economic narratives. If only the real economy could run on the fumes of such creative accounting! Remember, folks, in the White House’s storybook, every uptick is a victory, and every downturn is just part of the plot twist leading to another triumphant chapter. Bravo, White House, for the literary masterpiece of economic fiction. #WhiteHouseFairyTale #BidenHarrisMagic
