There Is No Plan
[Free Beacon] President Joe Biden is "rattled," according to NBC News, and "looking to regain voters’ confidence that he can provide the sure-handed leadership he promised during the campaign."

How? By trying to change the media narrative. On May 30, Biden published an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal that explained "My Plan for Fighting Inflation." The next day, Biden wrote a "guest essay" for the New York Times on "What America Will and Will Not Do in Ukraine."

Bad poll numbers and a collapsing domestic and international situation have excited the typically drowsy president into action. There’s a problem, though. The closer you read Biden’s op-eds, the less he has to say. This new, annoyed, engaged Biden may be a prolific writer and speaker. But he’s not an incisive one. He won’t admit that there is a connection between his ideology and America’s problems. He can’t decide between giving Ukraine the weapons necessary to defeat Russia or settling for a war of attrition.

Biden’s Journal op-ed is a masterclass in passing the buck. He doesn’t bring up his "plan for fighting inflation" until midway through his thousand-word piece. My inner college professor wanted to send the article back to him with suggestions for revision. Number one: Always move your best material to the top!

The plan itself is gauzy and thin. "The Federal Reserve has a primary responsibility to control inflation." You wouldn’t know that from listening to Progressives, including some of Biden’s nominees to the Federal Reserve, who argue that the Fed’s interest in price stability distracts it from promoting full employment, green energy, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. Now Biden wants the Fed to correct not only its mistakes, but his own. Let’s see if his faith in an independent central bank can stand the test of higher interest rates, higher unemployment, and lower incomes.

Parts two and three of Biden’s inflation plan are the remnants of his Build Back Better agenda: some clean energy and housing subsidies here, a few tax hikes there. He mentions his use of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to lower gas prices, but not his appeals to Venezuela and OPEC to boost the oil supply. As for the obvious answers to America’s energy problems—a complete reversal of Biden’s hostility to oil and gas exploration and production, huge investments in nuclear power, and emergency efforts to increase refinery capacity—Biden has no words. His devotion to the environmental lobby and to green energy blinds him. If the Progressive Left rejects nuclear power, the "clean energy future" it desires won’t arrive.

Biden's and the LSD voter problem can be fixed.

But this time it will take 4,000 Mules and a Dominion Voting System firmware upgrade to 6.0.

The Biden DOJ Portrait 🙉🙈🙊.

#3 Biden has done everything wrong so far so I see mo reason for him to change his ways. His is the regressive liberal mind. They do what they think is right and hope for a different outcome. They will listen to nothing presented to them that is contrary to what they believe. So the surprise needle is stuck on stupid. Full speed ahead and continue to attack the people they are supposed to represent. Throw money to other countries and build gas lines, build walls and ignore the American people. The EV madness here is the biggest or will be the biggest domestic money failure of all.

It's a messaging problem, eh? Yeah, sure, whatever you say, Mr. Marble Mouth.

#7 Oh he and his handlers have a plan. Commies always have a plan - 5 year to 10 year....

Problem is - if the public knew about it they (Biden and Co) would be run out on a rail - after being tarred and feathered.

#8 Well I doubt they showed the plan to Biden lest he misspeak and spill the beans.
