Horrifyingly incompetent Biden official looks poised to fail upwards (again)
|
 [Washington Examiner] In the real world, being bad at your job will get you fired. Yet, in the government, being bad at your job will get you a massive promotion. At least, that’s seemingly the takeaway from the Biden administration’s bizarre decision to nominate Julie Su to be its next labor secretary.
"Julie is a tested and experienced leader, who will continue to build a stronger, more resilient, and more inclusive economy that provides Americans a fair return for their work and an equal chance to get ahead," the White House said .
MEET JULIE SU, THE WOULD-BE SECRETARY OF FORCED SOCIAL JUSTICE UNIONISM
Su currently serves as deputy labor secretary, but she is seeking Senate confirmation for a promotion to replace outgoing Labor Secretary Marty Walsh. However, prior to becoming a deputy in the Biden administration, she was labor secretary for the state of California — and her tenure was an absolute disaster.
Su personally oversaw the state’s distribution of expanded COVID-19-era unemployment benefits, massively expanded payouts subsidized by federal taxpayers thanks to the so-called CARES Act passed in March 2020. Under her watch, the state gave tens of billions of dollars away to scammers, by its own admission. At least $11.4 billion and possibly up to $31 billion were lost to fraud, local media reported .
In one hilariously depressing example, California reportedly sent $1 billion to fraud rings involving prisoners who were filing fraudulent claims while actively behind bars. The level of bureaucratic incompetence it takes not to realize you’re mailing thousands of unemployment checks to literal inmates is astounding.
"There is no sugarcoating the reality; California did not have sufficient security measures in place to prevent this level of fraud," Su herself admitted in January 2021.
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) called Su out for this past failure.
Mittens Romney? You gotta know how bad she is if Pierre Delicto is calling her out
"The fact that under your lead, unemployment insurance payments in California of some $31 billion went to people who were basically receiving money on a criminal basis ... $31 billion, that’s about as much as we provided in military aid to Ukraine," the senator lamented. "That’s almost twice the total budget of the Department of Labor."
"In this case, your record there is so severely lacking, I don’t know how in the world it makes sense for the president to nominate you to take over this department," Romney concluded.
Think about this for a second. Julie Su woefully failed as the labor secretary for one state. She lost up to $31 billion in taxpayer dollars to criminals. And President Joe Biden is seeking to promote her and make her labor secretary for the entire nation.
There’s no other word for it: This is madness.
And it’s not even the only issue with Su’s nomination. She’s also facing backlash from workers groups for her past work to implement California’s disastrous anti-freelancer law and criticism for her clear bias against business and in favor of labor unions.
Is this really the best the Biden administration can do? It was supposed to "put the adults back in charge" and "restore normalcy" to the federal government. Instead, it’s promoting incompetent bureaucrats and encouraging them to fail upwards
