Biden Claims Americans Are Unable to Feel Happy
AB Staff
President Joe Biden says he has significantly improved the economy, but Americans are too negatively impacted by the pandemic to realize they should be happy about it.
During an interview with progressive podcaster Brian Tyler Cohen, Biden was asked to address the frustration that some Democrats are feeling over the party’s agenda not moving forward quickly enough.
Biden replied by declaring the psychological toll of COVID is keeping Americans from seeing how much better he’s made life for them.
“There’s a phenomenal negative psychological impact that COVID has had on the public psyche. And so you have an awful lot of people who are, notwithstanding the fact that things have gotten so much better for them economically, that they are thinking, but, how do you get up in the morning feeling happy? Happy that everything’s alright.”
His statements come as a key indicator of inflation showed yet another increase in prices. Americans are also bracing for even more economic uncertainty brought by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Russia is a large global producer of oil and disruption to its output through sanctions or spite could send already high prices up even further.

At the start of the Serbia-Kosovo War the U.S. bombed and dropped all of the bridges over the Danube River thus stopping the flow of cheap Russian oil to French and German refineries.

It amazes me how out of touch Joe is. Then I remember who voted for him and how out of touch those 81 million tards were.

But Americans aren't unhappy because they're sick. They are pissed off that stinking Democrats have so buggered their economy and security.

The economy is in the toilet. I had sold some shares in SSRI which is silver mining stock my Dad had. When he found out the price he was worried we were headed into recession. This event happened about 12 or 13 years ago and Brandon has buggered things even more by stopping construction of the border wall and Keystone XL pipeline. ;)

My sister in Chicago told me when McCain and Obama ran for POTUS that she had voted Democrat her whole life but she could not vote for Obama. She voted for McCain.
I told her, "You still voted for evil since BOTH candidates were members of Council on Foreign Relations and that made BOTH of them internationalists." ;)

The PTB are agitating to do something stupid in Eastern Europe, and some of those Apocalypse novel we read ten or twelve years ago are starting to shape up real close to life.
Things are lookin' shaky.

Omigod. Can't bear the thought of watching it live.
Tune in the morning for the post-mortems unless the wife insists on watching the train wreck.
Thanks for the link, BTW.

The U.S. Dollar is inextricably linked to the price of gold. As the U.S. debt rises, so does the price of gold. ;)

All we need to do is to look at recent history and what has happened to former Soviet republics to see what the potential outcome will be in Ukraine.
I worked with a Ukrainian-American. He lived in Uke Village in Chicago. His Grandma told him when the Bolsheviks took over they raked out their root cellars. Their collectivism ruined the profit motive in farming. ;)
