President Biden vs. " President " Manchin - Domestic Agenda - Biden Era

 This will annoy the hell out of Senator Manchin... This is the way piss off a US Senator that you need!

The White House: The following a statement by the White House Press Secretary, " Senator Manchin’s comments this morning on FOX are at odds with his discussions this week with the President, with White House staff, and with his own public utterances. Weeks ago, Senator Manchin committed to the President, at his home in Wilmington, to support the Build Back Better framework that the President then subsequently announced. Senator Manchin pledged repeatedly to negotiate on finalizing that framework “in good faith.”.....On Tuesday of this week, Senator Manchin came to the White House and submitted—to the President, in person, directly—a written outline for a Build Back Better bill that was the same size and scope as the President’s framework, and covered many of the same priorities. While that framework was missing key priorities, we believed it could lead to a compromise acceptable to all. Senator Manchin promised to continue conversations in the days ahead, and to work with us to reach that common ground. If his comments on FOX and written statement indicate an end to that effort, they represent a sudden and inexplicable reversal in his position, and a breach of his commitments to the President and the Senator’s colleagues in the House and Senate....Just as Senator Manchin reversed his position on Build Back Better this morning, we will continue to press him to see if he will reverse his position yet again, to honor his prior commitments and be true to his word....We are proud of what we have gotten done in 2021: the American Rescue Plan, the fastest decrease in unemployment in U.S. history, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, over 200 million Americans vaccinated, schools reopened, the fastest rollout of vaccines to children anywhere in the world, and historic appointments to the Federal judiciary....."

Lets Get Real:

One hopes this was done by the Press Secretary and not the Oval, as a Senator for decades Biden must know that he could lose Manchin to the Republicans and then he loses the US Senate, one does not mend bridges or try to get someone to change their mind if you are calling their word no good and a liar.  The Biden Oval should put out another statement, saying the Press Secretary had gone rogue and this was not the view of Biden Oval.  Otherwise Manchin could be a pain in the arse for Biden and other policies.  One has to say that Manchin has been very true to his word, he has never liked the BBB, and he has had regular meetings with POTUS, at the end of the day he went on FOX NEWS, this is a DIRECT MESSAGE to the Biden Oval, try something else!  One can say LBJ and Reagan would have done a better job, so far Biden does not look great and is nowhere near a good or great President as were LBJ on the domestic front, also Reagan.  Also Reagan could keep his troops in line, Biden one presumes has known Manchin for Years, is he that bad at reading people.  To clear the above he needs a new Press Secretary.

Is the US facing another GREAT DEPRESSION ? - US Election 2020


Lets Get Real:

The question in the 2020 Presidential Election who will be the new FDR, a President that promises hope to American workers.  The Democrats are pushing trillions of more spending, while Trump is going on about his fav drug of choice this week.   POTUS knows that he needs to get the economy going, if he can do that then he might win re-election.   The Biden Camp needs to impress on the voters that Biden is calm, and will spend whatever it takes to get the US out of this mess.  The problem is at some point the bond dealers will say NO to the US, that they are spending silly money that they will never pay back or if so hundred of years later.   The US States are starting to re-open, CNN acts as if its favourite toy has been taken away by the people, it almost telling the people that they are stupid and only the elite at CNN knows what is good for them.  That is why the mainstream media is not trusted by the people and FOX News is the channel of choice, you have to respect your viewers, telling them they are stupid does not work.

COVID - 19 - Update 2 - Health


Lets Get Real:

The PM will be under pressure in about three weeks to open up the economy or face there being no economy to go back too and millions of people out of work.   The UK Treasury can not afford to pay 80% of the wages of workers all around the UK.  Even if Scotland and Wales refuse to budge the PM to overrule them and revoke their powers in this area.  The UK economy has to get going otherwise the Great Depression of the 1930s will look like happy hour for the UK.   The British workers can not just sit on his backside and be depressed, that does not help anyone.  It is matter of thinking what Churchill would do, he would take the fight to the disease, get the people BACK TO WORK.  There is not endless time.

US Unemployment and the November Election - Update 1 - 2020 Election


Lets Get Real:

It is up to the Democrats to LOSE the November Election, IF Trump was a great thinker he would think of his predecessor President Hoover, who lost re-election in 1932 due to his failure to deal with the Great Depression, at least the Trump Administration and the US Congress is trying to put some money in to the US economy to help small US business companies, the problem is that the money has run out, and Congress may need to add another 250 billion to the economy.   Also Trump wants to get the US out of the forthcoming recession/depression before it starts, he wants business to open around the US.   The Democrats have to be careful, they can not be seen as wanting to see people on welfare, and rooting for COVID - 19.  One only hopes that VP Biden is up to taking on Trump, the President is a political street fighters from NEW YORK.   The Democrats will not find it easy to remove him from the Oval Office.
