Biden’s Prestige

Over the grandeur of the July 4th weekend we saw magic.? It wasn’t over head in the skies of various cities around the United States in the mystical explosion of fireworks, but rather in an interview with Vice President Joe Biden that received rather low attention.

In the interview Biden was quoted as saying,

We misread how bad the economy was…it’s unfair to consider the program a bust because “no one anticipated, no one expected that recovery package would in fact be in a position at this point of having distributed the bulk of the money.

Biden followed this up by briefly saying that the administration had not ruled out a second stimulus package.

Did you catch it?

See a magician is all about slight of hand.? He shows you something, and then follows by making you believe something impossible occurs next.? This is generally done by making you believe something has disappeared or something has been killed.? Most will chalk this performance of Biden up to another one of his famous gaffs.

It’s not a gaff folks.? This is the administrations way of making us look one way, while the other hand is actually extremely calculated in its movement.? The misleading moment of course is to scare us into believing we need more stimulus.

And the prestige?? It will arrive in a second stimulus bill sometime in the neighborhood of 12-18 months from now.? This is just the start.? You’ve been warned.? Keep your eyes peeled.
