Earlier this month, Wanda from Missoula enlightened us as to how wonderful everything is under Joe Biden. Bless your heart for believing this propaganda Wanda, but here are few facts that I am sure you don’t hear on your news.
We are $34TRILLION Dollars in Debt, and Biden is throwing your tax dollars away on things that do nothing to help our country. For example, Ukraine. Even Zolensky said they can’t account for the money and it is wrought with corruption.
Weapons are unaccounted for so there are hundreds of our military items just floating around out there for lord know who to use against us.
We pay $1 TRILLION dollars per year alone in interest on our debt. You know what we get for that $1 TRILLION? Diddly squat, that’s what.
300,000 Illegal Immigrants poured across our border in December. Un verified, no passports, Could have disease, criminal records, and want to do harm to our country. We know for a fact that they are not “Families”, but most are people from hostile countries who hate us, gang members, and we also know that countries are emptying out their jails and sending their worst here.
Sure, Gas is $2.80 a gallon, but are you getting back the money you had to spend when it was $4.40? Joe recklessly used our Petroleum reserves to lower prices and buy votes (failed miserably), but what happens if a real emergency comes up when our reserves are at half?
Trump wanted to fill the SPR up when oil was $20 a barrel, but your media told you he was “Padding big oil’s pockets”. Biden wants to buy it at $75 a barrel and he’s a hero.
Sure Inflation is down, but it was almost 10%! Inflation is cumulative, so 3% from 10% does not mean prices are coming down, that’s why your groceries are up 27%.
Credit card debt is at an all time high. Student debt loans are not being repaid. At some point this all has to come to fruition and all Joe has done is kick the can down the road for either the next president or his lame duck 2nd term. It’s coming.
Here’s a Big Lie for you. The Jobs report, which they always boast about has been adjusted down under cover of darkness by almost 30% for 11 months straight. So they’re all “look how great the jobs report is”, then they adjust it down 2 months later on a Friday afternoon and bury it on page 27 of the NY Times Sunday edition. Oh and 30% of the jobs every month are government jobs added. So you’re paying for jobs to make them look good.
Let’s not forget, we are at war. They are shooting at us and we are shooting back Unlike 4 years of Peace under Trump.
So if you actually believe we are in good shape right now under Biden vs the 4 years under Trump, please give me ring, I’ve got some oceanfront property in Havre for sale I’d like to discuss.
Wayne M Adair says
Bill, your letter is so full of misinformation to comment on every fallacy would require more space than the letter itself. I will be content with correcting your silly comment about the jobs report. You are correct that the reporting agency often amends their jobs numbers. Your suggestion that the revision is always down and news sites hide the lower numbers is just wrong. Sometimes the new numbers show fewer jobs, sometimes the numbers show more. And this information is always clearly reported on legitimate news outlets. I understand your confusion; I doubt you rarely visit these locations.
Bill Cavanaugh says
Sorry Sir, but the jobs report has been revised downward 11 months straight. That’s a fact like it or not, from CNBC, Bloomberg, and Fox Business.
Wanda LaCroix says
The Republicans in Congress have no interest whatsoever in the border situation except as an issue. Otherwise, the House Republicans would be jumping all over the deal the Senate Republicans have negotiated with the Senate Democrats and the Biden Administration. The reason they don’t? Because Donald Trump has instructed them that it’s better to keep the problem as a campaign issue. It’s the only issue they have left now that they’ve caught the “pro-life” car they’ve been chasing, the economy is doing so well, the stock market is so high, gas prices are so low, etc. So, what’s left except to scare people with caravans of terrorists?
As for the economy, Howard S. has answered that quite well, but if you really didn’t have your head in a Fox Hole, you could look up the facts for yourself. Also, the deficit is so big because of the tax breaks Trump and his sycophants in Congress gave the wealthy corporations and then defunded the IRS so they aren’t equipped to go after tax cheats like Donald Trump.
I probably won’t call you on that oceanfront property in Havre because we both know it’s as phony as Donald Trump talking about the 2020 election, his weight, his wealth, or the size of his crowds.
Alan says
Lol, you sound like a CNN newscast. Lemme give you some real news, we don’t need border legislation. All we need to do is enforce existing law.

Bill Cavanaugh says
Interesting theory. Too bad it doesn’t hold water.
The 10 Largest companies in the US donated 94% to 6% in favor of Joe Biden.
Wall Street donated 80% more to Biden than Trump.
Joe Raised 35% more campaign donations in 2020. Most were corporate or Billionaires. Trump set a record for small donations.
So if Wealthy Corporations love his tax breaks so much why do they give money to Biden?
That Lie of “Republican tax breaks for the wealthy” is as old as Senile Joe Biden
Howard S. says
You do realize that we had troops in Afghanistan, Syria, and Iraq during Trump’s presidency, right?
The national debt also grew by $7.8 trillion under the previous president.
Gas was cheap because a pandemic shut down the entire global economy causing the price of oil to go negative. Do you expect oil companies to keep pumping and drilling when they can sell the oil?
The fact is that the economy is as stronger now than it’s been in 50 years by essentially any way you want to measure it. Just because that doesn’t fit with your “Democrats are evil and incompetent” world view, doesn’t mean it’s not true.
Bill Cavanaugh says
Were those troops at war? And those troops date back to Bush and Obama.
Gas was cheap pre-pandemic, so there goes that argument.
By what measure is the “economy the strongest it’s been in 50 years”? Got any facts?
I mean, I could tell you there’s unicorns in the Bitterroot mountains but I’ve got no facts to back it up.
