Bidenomics is working far better than our government’s lack of an economic plan.
Joe Biden, 81, has been forced to defend his cognitive state after a special counsel’s report into the unauthorized storage of classified documents described the US president as “an elderly man with a poor memory”—a phrase that has sparked widespread political backlash. The report, which concluded that “no criminal charges are warranted,” is merely the latest example of the vitriolic tone of American politics.
Special counsel Robert Hur took the opportunity to ask Biden whether he could recall the year his son had died—a question that Biden found deeply distressing. In a press conference, Biden responded sharply, “How in the hell dare he raise that?”
The ongoing focus on Biden’s age and mental state detracts from more pressing matters. While his critics obsess over his cognitive abilities, Biden has quietly presided over the implementation of “Bidenomics”—a set of economic policies that have seen the US economy outperform expectations. Despite the partisan attacks and claims of incompetence, Biden’s economic agenda is proving to be far more effective than the lack of a coherent plan from his opponents.
While the political discourse remains consumed with personal attacks, it’s becoming increasingly clear that Biden’s economic vision, though far from perfect, is laying the groundwork for a more stable future. Meanwhile, the absence of a viable alternative from the opposition party highlights the deepening political divisions in America.
