Mich. Gov. Whitmer Brags About the Biden Economy and NOBODY Is Buying It (Can't Afford To)

Doug P. | 11:00 AM on November 17, 2023

Yet another Democrat is making a claim that will make you say "please, just stop!"

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, in an apparent attempt to set the stage for a future presidential run at some point, is trying to pretend that Biden and the Democrats have created an economic utopia.

Prepare to be gaslit:

With federal resources from the Inflation Reduction Act, we're protecting the environment and supercharging our economy.

The best part? Our investments in clean energy are not only driving down costs, but they're also ensuring a more sustainable future for all. Thanks, @POTUS!

Wow, she really hopes everybody's stupid. And how about that sales pitch!

"The best part about it is"

Regurgitated sales phrases like this aren't going to trick your constituents into supporting your bad investments with our tax dollars.

First of all, it shouldn't even be legal to refer to what we've seen happen as an "Inflation Reduction Act":

To describe the absolute crap that’s in the epically misnomered “Inflation Reduction Act” is like something right out of an Ayn Rand novel.🤷‍♂️ https://t.co/vmfGepRoj6

Not unlike the "Affordable Care Act," the "Inflation Reduction Act" helped bring about the opposite of how it's billed. If a business lies about what a product or service actually does they get into trouble, but the government can do it free from consequence.
