Back in late February, we told you Biden's plan for the State of the Union address was to blame greedy corporations for ongoing inflation and increased prices.
We'll give you a minute to stop laughing.
No, really. He's serious.
So serious, he's assembling a 'strike force' to take down those corporations.
Today, I'm launching a Strike Force on Unfair and Illegal Pricing to crack down on corporations who break the law while keeping prices high for American consumers. pic.twitter.com/nFRXCtFw2t

What laws, exactly, are they breaking?
The laws of economics are pretty absolute.
You should crack down on yourself then.

Record inflation against consumers occurred on your watch.
But it's not his fault. Those greedy corporations are to blame!
There is no such thing as "unfair and illegal pricing". If you don't like someone's price, don't pay it.

'Unfair and illegal pricing' is what commies say, right before they create shortages via price controls.
Stock your pantry.
Food and gas prices alone will make Trump president again in this coming election.

Say what you will about the Trump years, but at least you could afford gas and groceries.
so Bidenomics was a failure

An unmitigated failure.
Might as well say “today, I’m intervening in free markets because I hate capitalism!”

And nothing bad happens when the government interferes in the markets.
Right?

Exactly.
Spending taxpayers money on another wild goose chase. The result of this will be less goods available to consumers, less freedom to choose, & more control of the population. Suing companies based on invalid allegations will force them out of business. Letia James, much? https://t.co/lLmnW7nrGV

That's what they want.
It's not a bug, it's a feature.
Joe Biden causes inflation by spending ridiculous amounts of money we don’t have.
— The Yootopian (@TheYootopian) March 5, 2024
He then blames businesses for that inflation.
This is how he works.
Which is why we MUST vote him out in November.#Election2024 https://t.co/LSjPhaK7us
He needs to go far, far away.
Pointing fingers on another imaginary problem…
— Jose Biden (@Richard92395673) March 6, 2024
Blaming corporations for “Bidinflation” is weak and pathetic.
More reason why we need Trump! https://t.co/3LsZAuwomk
The adults are back in charge. Or something.
And that's what adults do: blame others for their mistakes.
Irony, going after people for raising prices due to you having caused the price increases. 🤔🤔 https://t.co/5Pd7IIOEWA
— The Chad Adams Perspective (@Chad_Adams) March 6, 2024
All by design, not irony.
Predictably, President Biden blames the victims of his policies... https://t.co/bTHZPqslqP
— Candidly (@HuntingHippies) March 6, 2024
'Why won't companies take a financial hit to help my poll numbers?!' -- Biden, probably.
So…instead of fixing the underlying economic issues, issues caused by your administration and policies…you instead attack the firms left to deal with your disaster… https://t.co/J4pLIyldt5
— DontTweetOnMe (@DontTweet_OnMe) March 6, 2024
Yep. Pretty much.
Best economy ever Jack https://t.co/7pzaCdzkDq
— Mr S is gonna live on a boat (@slomotion4199) March 6, 2024
An economy so great, Biden has to attack the businesses who keep food on our shelves.
If inflation was cured they would not be starting price controls. These never work. Look out. https://t.co/M3qeahgMhG
— Vincent Cate (@vincecate) March 6, 2024
Price controls lead to shortages and rationing. Enjoy!
Declaring war on the economy you created is something. https://t.co/MPMeFNJwxQ

Biden didn't fail. He can only be failed.
Federal debt is up $100 billion in just 4 days.
— Joe Brennan (@joebren60) March 5, 2024
We're on track for $37 trillion by the end of this year. And $40 trillion by the end of next.
Politicians cause inflation not corporations. Who spends $100 billion in 4 days? https://t.co/20mlzvfuHn
Politicians. That's who.
It's not the corporations, it you printing money which caused this crap. https://t.co/GCpWK6AOSc
— Rebel in Texas (@TexasRebelin) March 5, 2024
They know this.
That's why they're deflecting.
Admitting this would be the proverbial nail in the coffin of his reelection campaign.
