Bidenomics!

Nancy Mace (center) and 199 Republicans voted against the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. She is taking credit for the appropriations going to her South Carolina district.


As the president kicks off his 2024 reelection campaign, Fox and the far right are obsessed with Hunter Biden and the president sleeping with a breathing machine.

President Joe Biden's job approval is at 41% and his handling of the economy is at 34%. The reasons why are because Republicans are noise. They are pretty much against almost everything he does.

Biden’s approval figures have barely moved for the past year and a half, a source of concern for a president pursuing a second term on his ability to govern and focus on workers. He wants voters to connect local roads and bridge projects, factory construction and the rise of electric vehicles and renewable energy to the millions of dollars in initiatives he signed into law during the first two years of his administration.

A sleep apnea machine is due to snoring, stuttering and dry mouth. He often coughs when he speaks due to gastrointestinal problems and stuttering. 

The president is healthy. But for the noise, his age and the numerous conspiracies will be what Republicans are focused on.

They aren't concerned about the economy or inflation. Since things are doing well, the Republicans are pivoting to culture wars and conspiracy theories. Under President Joe Biden, the unemployment rate is 3.5%, inflation has dropped down to normal levels, jobs are plentiful and Bidenomics is now a term.

While in Chicago on Wednesday, the president mentioned that Republicans are sharing on social media the accomplishments of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

Here are the Republicans who voted against the law but now are taking credit for the appropriations that went to their states.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), a controversial former football coach turned far right extremist lawmaker touted the law's broadband for rural communities. He was one of the most vocal lawmakers who voted against the law.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) also voted against the bill. She shared that the Charleston area will be receiving green energy public transportation for the Lowcountry. She called the law absurd and a budget fiasco.

Mace is joining Republicans in calling for impeachment of Biden and many on his administration based on conspiracies.

They vote against the laws and then claim credit for its successes.

Biden said his administration’s efforts were sparking recovery after Republican policies had crushed America’s middle class.

“Bidenomics is about the future,” he declared in his Wednesday speech to cheering supporters. “Bidenomics is just another way of saying: Restore the American dream.”

At the same time, he sought to paint previous Republican tax cuts as deeply flawed, saying they helped the rich but failed the middle class for decades as the promised “trickle down” benefits never seemed to come to the less wealthy.

“The trickle down approach failed the middle class,” he said. “It failed America. It blew up the deficit. It increased inequity. And it weakened our infrastructure. It stripped the dignity, pride and hope out of communities, one after another.”

White House aides believe that Biden’s speech on Wednesday can generate greater awareness of his policies and increase Democratic voters’ appreciation of the economy. While the president’s allies acknowledge that many Americans still hold dim views of the economy, they note that the actual economic data was far worse last November, when Democrats mounted a stronger-than-expected showing in the midterm elections.

Biden aides say they are encouraged by data showing Americans’ views can be changed by a consistent message reinforced on multiple fronts, which is what the president and his Cabinet are setting out to do by touring the U.S. over the next three weeks. Their hope is that repetition of Biden’s accomplishments, coupled with a contrast to GOP proposals to undo those initiatives, will stick with voters for 2024.
