America is Back?

America is Back?  

 

“At every point along the way, we are going to make it clear that the United States is back and the democracies of the world are standing together to tackle the toughest challenges and issues that matter most to our future,” Biden said.

-       Biden’s message as he lands in Europe: America's back, Politico

Oh, thank god… America is back… per POTUS Biden, while on G7 holiday in Europe. And there is little doubt that, for Europe at least, the Sugar Daddy and Chief is back.   Just ask French President Macron. 

 

But while America maybe back in Europe, not unlike Santa, spreading free defense spending & good cheer…  America is considerably less back in, well, America. 

 

In the United States, Biden’s campaign promises have stalled out in the assisted living facility, known as the US Senate, thanks to right-wing Dem senators, Manchin and Sinema.  And, of course, some blame certainly rests with the senate majority leader, Schumer, who can’t keep his caucus in line long enough to see Biden’s mandate through into law.  How convenient… the second the nation must pass bills and legislation to help the United States’ failing infrastructure, the American people suffering through a pandemic & wage slavery, pass a Green New Deal, or tax increases upon robber barons… and magically, the congress grinds to a halt.   

 

It appears that the congress’ corporate sponsors - and K-Street - aren’t accepting of the campaign promises Biden was elected, by the majority of voters, to enact. 

 

It is incompetence hour, and all of this seems vaguely familiar, like the newly elected Obama administration wasting precious time, burning up the legislative clock, on the ACA (aka Obamacare, aka corporate welfare for the healthcare industry). 

 

Examples of the Biden Administration's failure are everywhere, despite controlling not one, but both houses of Congress.  

 

Can you imagine what it’s going to be like after the midterms? 

 

Of course, nothing quite spells out failure like the recent bipartisan bill to spend $250 billion on corporate welfare.  Wow.  The two parties are at war, but the second there’s an opportunity for corporate pork, or taxpayer dollars being wasted on the billionaire welfare state, then the two parties come together for a group orgy and roll around in the corruption and fraud.   

 

The Senate is going to thwart China’s hegemonic ambitions with 250 billion dollars in a - no strings - corporate giveaway, on top of the trillion spent annually on US defense spending. (China spends about a fifth of the money the US does on military spending.)  Of course, not a word on breaking up – or holding accountable - the US defense cartel of companies (i.e. MIC), that are well known for cost overruns and products that don’t work.  The centerpiece of the bill includes billions and billions to bribe American computer chip manufacturing back onto US shores, and back into building chips.  Apparently, bad things happen, not only when America’s corporate aristocracy offshores labor & the US economy to China, but also, when globalism and neoliberalism offshore critical computer chips to a totalitarian regime… or a small island – Taiwan – that the aforementioned communists lay claim to. 

 

There’s even $10 billion is welfare for one of the richest men in the world, Jeffrey Bezos.  

 

Now, we are truly saved.  Yeh, bipartisanship!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are roughly six months into the Biden administration and all America got was this stupid G7 T-shirt, that the president will bring back from Euroland holiday, and the $1.9 trillion stimulus package.  The stimulus was chock full of one-time goodies (some of the aid was repealed by White Supremacy party governors to compel workers to return to the slave wage economy, the pandemic economy), but with limited shelf life and zero long term structural reforms. 

 

Exactly, how the oligarchy likes it. 

 

Bipartisanship is nothing short of insane.  Here’s a party, the GOP, that is fully dedicated to the POTUS’ ruin, that has a long history of obstruction, that shut down President Obama, and yet, there’s Biden insisting upon bipartisanship… that, like the filibuster, is nothing less than a ticket to failure & the GOP’s agenda, perpetuation of a White Supremacy/Monopoly economy status quo.  

 

And yet, establishment Dems are insisting, killing precious time: Let’s get together with the political party that is coup-coup for fascism and Donald Trump.   The same party that a few short weeks ago rejected an investigation into its involvement into the January 6^th attack on the capitol, and continues to wage war against America, and democracy, by passing voter suppression laws in GOP held states. 

When the GOP senate voted against the January 6^th commission, they, preemptively, took the fifth amendment.

At the end of the day, the Dems are, allegedly, the responsible party in the room, or so we thought.  The party Americans elected to straighten up the disaster left by Trump and the GOP.  

 

What do you do when the parents are enabling the GOP & ongoing insurrection?  Fire the duopoly? 

 

Yup.  Mr. Macron is correct… America is back all right, but for how long?
