No, Joe, We’re Not Better Off
The Biden administration keeps lying
about how bad things were a year ago.
Douglas Andrews at PatriotPost starts off with a whopper of a statement by White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain:
“Things are a lot better in this
country than they were a year ago.”
Let that sentence sink in. That was
Joe Biden’s chief of staff, Ron Klain, in what has to be the most surreal
string of words ever uttered by
a guy whose boss is polling at
38%. . . .
Klain’s straight man was CNN’s
increasingly malleable Jake Tapper, a once-proud lefty who too often bows to
his network and his audience and just sort of sits there looking like a guy
with a fishbone caught in his throat. On this day, though, Tapper pressed his
guest about the mess he’d helped create: “So, how do you . . . fix this?”
Tapper asked. “Obviously, I cover you guys every day. You do this every day.
And you are talking about the economy. You are talking about coronavirus, but
there’s obviously some sort of disconnect here.”
And in fairness to Klain, he
qualified the remark above by limiting it to COVID and the economy. Still, who
thinks his statement rings true even when it’s so narrowly tailored?
Not us, certainly, nor Oliver North
or David Goetsch, who today revisited the
question posed by Ronald Reagan to Jimmy Carter during their lone debate of the
1980 presidential campaign: “Are you better off today than you were four years
ago?”

Oliver North/David Goetsch opinion piece.
