Joe Biden is getting ready to screw up the country.

But first, let’s listen to Captain Unity:

 

Old Joe, Same Crap

Old Joe is coming out with his policies…finally. And they are the same old thing. Well, I mean, he’s saying what his policies are going to be without actually giving us any information on them or what they are going to do to the country or what we are going to have to do to meet these policies.

Which is fine. The media doesn’t care. His policies will work because the magic policy fairy who hated Trump because he is a racist, homophobe, xenophobe, white, straight guy will come to Biden and make it all work.

Biden said there are going to be four major “emergencies” that he is going to pay attention to. I’m sorry, not emergencies but “crisis”. Here they are:

• According to the Daily Wire:
• Incoming White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain vowed Saturday that President-elect Joe Biden will take “decisive action” on four different crises affecting the country during his first ten days in office.In a memo to incoming senior White House staff, Klain identified the four crises as “the COVID-19 crisis, the resulting economic crisis, the climate crisis, and a racial equity crisis,” and promised Biden would take executive actions to address them.

Um, ok. Let’s take a look at this.

• The China virus crisis- already handled. What else is Old Joe going to do?
• The economic crisis because of the China virus- Trump already took care of that. Florida, Texas, Idaho and other states that ignored the panicking news media are doing great. Chicago, New York and other Lefty cities and states want to now open their economies. Um, that will fix the economy and he won’t have to do much of anything but it will look really political.
• The climate crisis- in other words…weather. He’s going to change the weather? We won’t have a hurricane again? or tornadoes? It won’t be hot or cold again? There will not be droughts or fires in California again? Good luck with that.
• The racial equity crisis- This is just taxes, redistribution and socialism. That’s all it is. Trust me, people of color won’t see a dime of the evil rich white men. Once the government gets money, it doesn’t give it up.

 

Sleepy, Creepy Joe has said he was going to use his executive orders to overturn a bunch of Trump’s executive orders. I’m sure liberal lawyers will appear in front of liberal judges to get those executive orders blocked like what happened when Trump tried to overwrite the the DACA executive order under Obama because its, supposedly not easy to overwrite executive orders. Oops, they did cancel Trump’s executive order overwriting Obama’s executive orders.

Anyway, here are the executive orders Old Joe is going to overwrite:

• Biden is expected to sign more COVID-19-related executive actions to order schools and businesses reopened under new federal health guidelines. More federal government control.
• Biden will announce a plan to reunite families separated by federal law enforcement at the U.S.-Mexico border. This is a weird one. Does that mean Biden will send the kids back to their families in Mexico or bring the families into the United States? Yeah, no possible disaster here.
• Unveil criminal justice reform proposals. Not sure how Biden will do better on this from his point of view.
• Announce new strategies to battle climate change. In other words, he wants more regulation that will stifle businesses. No more fracking (which would be a campaign promise that was a lie), closing all drilling in federal lands that made us energy independent because we need to save the horney toad squirrel and lower CO2 levels from all business and citizens. Basically stick us back in the 1700s when it comes to technology and standard of living.

 

One of the big things Biden wants to to is raise the minimum at the federal level to $15.00 an hour. That’s a great idea when businesses are closed and wondering where they are going to get their income to put more crap on them by making him pay workers double what he has to pay them not.

I hate minimum wage. In fact, I think the minimum wage should be $0.00. The market should be what determines the value of labor not the government. The government doesn’t have any skin in the game when it comes to a person’s business. But an employer will pay for good workers. The better the employee, the more he will be willing to pay. If the employer doesn’t pay the worker for what he deserves than the employee will quit and find a job that will pay.

Here’s the cold hard truth: If an employee cannot negotiate a $15.00 an hour wage, that employee probably doesn’t deserve $15:00 an hour. Period done.

But raising the minimum wage has huge economic issues:

• Cost of products and services will go up. This will slow economic growth.
• Businesses will cut jobs to meet their budget. Raising unemployment.
• Employees in specialized jobs, such as my fiancé, will demand a higher wage. This will raise inflation.
• Many businesses will close because they require a specific number of employees but their profit margin is so razor thin they cannot maintain the business. This is a common issue restaurants have.
• People thinking about starting new businesses will be less likely to do so with such a high starting cost.

 

I find it amazing that this is an issue when unemployment is up because the country is shut down because of the China virus. We might actually see the unemployment rate actually go up when the economy is re-opened. We are currently at about 7% unemployment but businesses are going to be struggling even if they re-open. Remember, there is a lot that goes into a business that has been closed. It’s almost like these businesses have to start from fresh. There’s:

• Inventory that needs to be replenished which requires money.
• Delivery of that inventory.
• New marketing strategy.
• New regulations for the China virus that need to be met.
• The hiring of new or former employees.

 

Now business owners have to worry about paying low-skilled workers twice what they were earning before? Washington and Oregon already have a $15.00 an hour wage. Their economies were decimated. What I’m saying is we have seen this movie before.

• This is part of the Democratic plan.

 

They like sticking it to small businesses. They love corporations. Big corporations pay big money, do what they want and support mass regulations. They want small business to die. Less competition.

Democrats want unemployment. They want the people to suffer and depend on the government to survive. That way, people become subservient to big government and will do whatever those in power want to do including raising taxes and accepting the loss of our freedoms.

This is how socialism works. Margaret Thatcher, the former Prime Minister in England, said, “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.” The minimum wage is going to damage the economy. People will lost their jobs. They will go on government assistance and get decent money. A bunch will not even go back to work. Unemployment will go up, more people will go on assistance. The government will have to raise taxes. Raising taxes will cause businesses to lay off more people to keep their profit margins. Or the business will close altogether. More unemployment. More people depend on the government. More tax raises.

Eventually the government can’t get more taxes. The rich leave the country or they are no longer rich. The rich who do not embrace the government, much like Donald Trump, will have their wealth taken or, worse, prosecuted and condemned. When the government can’t tax, they take. They take wealth and commandeer business, making it property of the state. This will cause lack of production and lack of innovation making the economy stagnant. The only thing that moves in a socialist economy is unemployment, GDP, innovation and misery. Only the government’s power grows.

When the government has no more money, they discard all the benefits they promised. People begin to have problems getting basic necessities. Inflation makes prices go through the roof. Store can’t afford inventory. People will begin to lose their patience. They will begin to revolt. Those revolting will not be armed (remember, Democrats don’t want the 2nd Amendment). Those protestors will be seen as traitors, be arrested, prosecuted and thrown in jails and prisons.

This is an abbreviated synopsis. Though not by much. It usually takes about five years for it to be implemented and all things go south.

This process happened under Mao in China. It happened under Mussolini in Italy. It happened in Germany under Hitler. It happened in North Korea under Kim. It happened under Lenin and Stalin in the Soviet Union. It happened under Castro in Cuba. It happened under Chavez and, now, Maduro in Venezuela.

Setting a high minimum wage isn’t all that creates the mess that I mentioned about. Other things include:

• Government controlled, socialized healthcare.
• Control of institutions such as media, education, entertainment, business and the economy.
• Making it so the population cannot be armed.
• Ending of free speech and censorship.
• Condemning those that do not fall in line with the government line (cancel culture).
• Encouraging people to tattle with each other. Separate people into groups. Create discord.
• Demonize and eliminate the opposition.
• Eliminating religion. Government has to be God.
• Heavily regulating or government ownership of business (fascism).
• Control of the courts.
• Eliminating minority rights.

 

Do any of these things sound familiar?

I do not look at the raising of the middle wage as just bad economic policy, though it is. I see it as a way to, slowly, take over the population through dependence and increase government control. It’s a very bad thing that might not look so dangerous on its own. But when added to the other Leftist policies, it sounds horrifying.
