Joe Biden - A Poster Child For Term Limits: 47 Years in Office and Nothing Positive To Show For It

As Joe Biden prepares to take office, it may be a good time to reflect on his long career in Washington. The basis of this reflection started with a Facebook post I saw to which I added to since I thought it had missed some of his many accomplishments and exploits. 

His life in politics confirms that many Americans think about our current set of politicians, i.e. we need term limits and we need them badly, given the lackluster and somewhat disgraceful political career of Joe Biden, given his antics, racism, sexism, and lack of accomplishment. 

Thus, the following is a year by year review of every Joe Biden accomplishments:

1973 Biden enters politics...

1974

1975

1976

1977 Biden fights to keep schools segregated because in his own words, “allowing blacks to integrate would create a racial jungle.”

1978

1979

1980

1981

1982

1983 Biden taxes Social Security

1984

1985

1986

1987

1988 Biden runs for President but has to end his campaign after getting busted for plagiarism.

1989

1990

1991

1992

1993 Biden allegedly sexually attacks Senate aide Tara Reade.

1994 Biden writes the "Stop and Frisk" law which is what African-Americans blame for "systemic racism" today. This law took millions of black men from their communities and transplanted them into prison, many times for minor criminal violations. This was Biden's biggest legislative accomplishment in 47 years of elected office.

1995

1996

1997

1998

1999

2000

2001

2002

2003

2004

2005

2006 Biden issues the following racist comment: “You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.”

2007

2008 Calls Obama the first “articulate" and "clean" mainstream African-American while also telling 14 year old Eva Murray that, “Fourteen? You’re very well endowed for 14!” while attending a Delaware fundraiser.

2009 Becomes the Vice President of a Presidential administration that adds almost as much national debt as all previous Presidents COMBINED while Amy Lappos claims that Biden grabbed and held her inappropriately at a Connecticut fundraiser.

2010

2011

2012 Writer D.J. Hill’s husband had to intervene when Biden got too handsy with her at a Minneapolis fundraiser.

2013

2014 Lucy Flores claims that Biden grabbed and held her inappropriately at a Nevada fundraiser.

2015

2016 Caitlyn Caruso claims that during a spring, 2016 conference on sexual harassment Biden put his hand on her thigh for “an uncomfortable amount of time.” and also in 2016, Sofie Karasek at the 2016 Oscars claims that Biden violated her personal space.

2017

2018

2019

2020: Biden issues the following racist remarks during his Presidential campaign: 1) “Jeez, the reason I was able to stay sequestered in my home is because some black woman was able to stack the grocery shelf.” 2) “Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.” 3) If you vote for the other guy, “you ain’t black.” 4) "And by the way, what you all know, but most people don’t know, unlike the African American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things.”

The need for term limits could not be any clearer: 47 years in Washington and nothing positive to show for it except the self enrichment of himself and his family. As the famous Brazilian clown, Tiririca, once said when he ran for, and got elected, to public office in Brazil: “It can’t get any worse.” then career politicians currently in office. How much worse could it get if we did have term limits in this country and term limits forced Joe Biden to get out of politics back in the 1970s? I really don't think it could have been any worse.

California - The First State To Go Bankrupt? Has Its Financial Death Spiral Begun?

We have often discussed the deteriorating condition of life and politics in California. California is the closest thing we have in this country when it comes to socialism, it’s politicians have done so many stupid, overreaching, and financially wasteful things that it has turned a California paradise into the following hellish conditions in the state:

• The state politicians have run up hundreds of billions of dollars in unfunded financial liabilities that at some point in time will either cost Californians even heavier taxation or drive the state government into bankruptcy.
• State residents are some of the heaviest taxed Americans in the country with an unreal top state income tax marginal tax rate at over 13%.
• Even though Californians pay, on average, about 55% more for electricity than the rest of the country, they have to suffer through periodic rolling electricity blackouts because the state’s politicians have forced more and more of the state's electricity be created by unreliable solar and wind power sources.
• Bad environmental laws and regulations have caused massive forest fires over the past couple of years.
• California has some of the highest poverty rates in the country.
• California’s public schools do a horrible job educating their kids.
• By far, the state has more homeless people than any other state, e.g. there are 66,000 homeless Americans wandering the streets just in LA County alone.
• State cities have made it not illegal to defecate, urinate, or shoot up illegal drugs in public which has drastically reduced the quality of life in many state cities.
• High taxes and lower quality of life has caused many Californians to leave the state, taking their tax dollars and jobs with them.
• Since 2005, more people have left California then who moved into the state, the first time that has ever happened.
• Since 1990, migration in California has averaged -225,000 residents a year, i.e. on average 225,000 moved out of the state then moved into it.
• According to a recent CEO survey, California is the most challenging and difficult state to do business in.
• Crime rates in the state are going up quickly and yet state politicians continue to “defund the police” which results in more crime and more criminals getting away with their crimes.
• The state government’s attempt to build a high speed rail line in the state crashed almost immediately after beginning, wasting millions and millions of taxpayer dollars without accomplishing anything except showing how inept state politicians and bureaucrats are.
• Idiotic housing laws and regulations have resulted in an extreme affordable housing supply deficiency in the state which has not just impoverished those that can barely afford the expensive housing but also contributed to the huge homeless problem of people who just plain could not afford housing in the state and ended up on the streets.

Poverty, bad schools, expensive housing, lower quality of life, higher and higher taxes, higher and higher unfunded future financial liabilities, high living costs, etc. The state is a mess mostly because of the inept politicians that run the state government and the mess they have made is driving more and more people and businesses out of the state.

One of the best descriptions I ever heard of California is that it is now just “North Korea with a tech industry.” In other words, the state is being kept afloat financially because the Silicon Valley billionaires and their high flying companies have kept some tax money flowing into the state government, where, of course, it gets squandered by the state politicians. Take away the rich tech leaders, take away their rich companies and all of a sudden, the tax stream of the state goes down the drain, leaving behind nothing but...another North Korea who lost its tech industry.

And do not think this scenario is not starting to materialize:

• Joe Rogan is one of the most famous podcasters in the world and was recently given a ten year, $100 million contract by Spotify.
• Mr. Rogan is now a former California resident since one of the first things he did was move to Texas, a state without a state income tax, because if he had stayed in California, that $100 million contract would have cost him about $13 million in California state income taxes.
• Obviously, the move was a financial no brainer since Texas has no state income tax.
• Ben Shapiro is a famous conservative pundit.
• He grew up in California, went to college in California, met and married his wife in California and started a family in California.
• Nevertheless, he recently moved his business and family out of California to Tennessee.
• The reason for moving was totally logical: “We’re leaving because all the benefits of California have steadily eroded — and then suddenly collapsed. Meanwhile, all the costs of California have steadily increased — and then suddenly skyrocketed.”
• He also referenced the financial death spiral syndrome that we have talked about many times: “It can be difficult to spot the incremental encroachment of a terrible disease, but once the final ravages set in, it becomes obvious that the illness is fatal. So, too, with California, where bad governance has turned a would-be paradise into a burgeoning dystopia. The most beautiful areas of Los Angeles, from Santa Monica beach to my suburb, have become wrecks. My children have personally witnessed drug use, public urination and public nudity. Looters were allowed free reign in the middle of the city during the Black Lives Matter riots; Rodeo Drive was closed at 1 p.m., and citizens were curfewed at 6 p.m. I want my kids to grow up safe. I want them to grow up in a community with a future, with more freedom and safety than I grew up with. California makes that impossible. So, goodbye, Golden State. Thanks for the memories.”
• Billionaire Elon Musk of Tesla and Space X fame also recently made the move out of California, both as a resident and as a business person.
• He is building a truck factory in Texas rather than invest in California, keeping high tech, high paying jobs and tax revenue in Texas, and has publicly stated that he was tired with the overbearing politicians, government and regulations in California. 
• Oracle is another Silicon Valley tech company that has recently decided to move its headquarters out of California.
• Chairman Larry Ellison of Oracle: “Oracle is implementing a more flexible employee work location policy and has changed its Corporate Headquarters from Redwood City, California to Austin, Texas. We believe these moves best position Oracle for growth and provide our personnel with more flexibility about where and how they work. Depending on their role, this means that many of our employees can choose their office location as well as continue to work from home part-time or all of the time. In addition, we will continue to support major hubs for Oracle around the world, including those in the United States such as redwood City, Austin, Santa Monica, Seattle, Denver, Orlando and Burlington, among others, and we expect to add other locations over time. By implementing a more modern approach to work, we expect to further improve our employees’ quality of life and quality of output." 
• More jobs and tax dollars leaving California.
• Earlier this month, Hewlett Packard Enterprise also announced it was moving its corporate headquarters to Texas: “HPE has made the decision to relocate its headquarters from San Jose, California, to Houston, Texas. HPE’s largest U.S. employment hub, Houston is an attractive market to recruit and retain future diverse talent, and is where the company is currently constructing a state-of-the-art new campus. The Bay Area will continue to be a strategic hub for HPE innovation, and the company will consolidate a number of sites in the Bay Area to its San Jose campus. No layoffs are associated with this move.”
• More jobs and tax dollars leaving California.
• Toyota had previously moved its headquarters out of California to Texas, driven a lot by its employees complaining about the high housing costs in California.
• More jobs and tax dollars leaving California.
• Other California companies to recently move themselves and their employees out of California include, but are not limited to, McKesson, Core-Mark Holding Co., and Charles Schwabb.
• More jobs and tax dollars leaving California.

Many of these moves of employees, companies, and jobs were to Texas, a state that has no state income tax, does not tax capital taxes at higher and higher rates, has affordable housing, has a less stringent business regulatory environment, and has no rolling electricity blackouts.

People want to be free and a large part of being free is 1) being able to keep their hard earned wealth and 2) not having some politician and government bureaucrat constantly adding to lists of things that they cannot do. Economic freedom allows people the freedom to send their kids to better schools, freedom to choose from a larger variety of lifestyles, contribute more to their favorite charities, save money to possibly start up their own business, etc. The high taxes across the board in California make that freedom shrink in direct relationship to the higher and higher taxes.

But the insanity, insensitivity, and ignorance of these principles and the actions that are reducing the state government’s ability to function financially are lost on California politicians. That is why I believe that California, along with Illinois, New York, and New Jersey, could very well be the first state in our history to go bankrupt. You cannot keep losing your tax base, suffer an ever growing out migration of businesses, residents, jobs, and tax revenue, while not cutting spending, and expect to not go belly up financially. The financial death spiral in California has already started and nobody in the state political class seems to have noticed.

North Korea without a tech industry, it is getting more and more likely everyday that will be the future of California, thanks to a political class bent on socialism and the denial of freedom.

By The Numbers, December, 2020: Stupid Energy Policies In California, Wasteful Covid Spending In Chicago and More

On a periodic basis we do some posts that fall under the theme of “by the numbers.” Rather than trust what the American politician tells us about reality, we like to examine the real numbers and the real reality in the world to understand what is actually going on. Relying on politicians, and their cohorts in the media, to tell us what is reality is always a sucker bet. They have their own agendas and goals, usually centering around their needs and self-enrichment. So we need to look at the reality of the numbers to determine what is really going on. 

Previous analyses of “by the numbers” can be accessed by entering the phrase in the search box above. This is where we look at the numbers to truly find out how good, not likely, or bad, most likely, the American political class is doing in managing our tax dollars, protecting our freedoms, and resolving major issues that affect all of us.

1) The Federal government has about $30 trillion in debt that the American political/criminal class has rolled up over many years. Consider how much money and tax burden that is:

• If you had spent a million dollars a day from the day Christ was born, you would still not have spent one trillion dollars, never mind $30 trillion.
• Every man, woman, and child in the country would have to write a check for about $90,000 each to pay off that debt, which means an American family of four would have to pay about $360,000, not going to happen.
• And you cannot tax the rich more to pay off the debt: for example, if you confiscated the ENTIRE wealth of the country’s richest person, Jeff Bezos, who is worth about $175 billion you could only pay off .6% of the wealth, not 6%, .6%.

If this was not bad enough, a recent study by the Department of Education is showing that due do to government incompetence regarding the college student loan program, that debt problem just got a lot worse:

• The Federal government has lent out $1.37 TRILLION in student loan money.
• This money was lent out without regard to a student’s credit scores, field of study, potential future earning power, or any other measure or safeguard regarding the ability of the Federal government and taxpayers of recouping those student loans.
• The new study estimates that of the $1.37 trillion lend out in the program, $435 billion will never be paid back.
• But this should not surprise anyone since another study found that between 2005 and 2016 40% of all student loan recipients had credit scores below a subprime credit score of 620, i.e., they were poor credit risks and the Federal government still gave them a loan.
• Consider that because of the Great Recession, private lenders and banks lost $535 billion so this student loan loss is approaching the losses that were incurred during the Great Recession.
• Thus, government incompetence will needlessly be adding another $435 billion to the national debt, increasing it about 1.4%.

One program, $435 billion flushed down the drain. Think about how many hungry, homeless, and sick Americans could be taken care of with that now gone $435 billion. Insanity.

2) Consider the energy fiasco that is California:

• Liberal politicians want to get the state’s energy solar and wind energy production profile to 60% of all energy creation in the coming years, up from 33% or so today.
• This misplaced and idiotic emphasis on renewables required state utilities to take their limited investment money and purchase renewal, solar and wind, equipment while forsaking upgrading its electrical grids which would have included burying electric cables and wires and buying better, less fallible transmission equipment.
• This financial neglect of the current grid equipment has resulted in equipment failures which have ignited so many forest fires which have wiped out houses, businesses, and lives while throwing far more pollution into the atmosphere than what was saved by putting in renewable energy sources.
• And renewables are useless when the wind stops or the sun sets which has required state utilities to purchase power from out of state sources, an expensive process that results in California electric customers paying 55% more on average than the rest of the country.
• And not only do state customers pay so much more for electricity but the current electric grid has had to go to rolling blackouts because the renewables cannot handle the peak demand for power.

Thus, bad decisions by the state political class results in a sub-optimal electric grid burdened by unsafe and old equipment that causes forest fires and results in very high electric costs for often only intermittent access to electricity. What a mess.

Given the mess they have created, one would hope that the politicians would take a step back and start thinking a little more rationally. But no, not in their playbook. Despite the expenses and shortages they have placed on state residents and business, they double downed on their energy stupidity:

• Despite not having any crises or problems, the state leaders shutdown a perfectly good nuclear energy plant in 2013, a plant that was providing low cost, reliable electricity to 1.4 million households.
• And now they want to double down on their stupidity and shut down the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant that has been reliably supplying clean, cheap energy to 3 million state households for years.

How can supposedly educated people like California politicians continue to make such bad decisions when the numbers are so clear?

3) COVID has been a bad experience for everyone. Lock downs, lost jobs, people dying and getting sick, economic downturns, etc. But that still does not excuse bad and stupid planning which results in bad numbers which, of course, results in the vast wasting of taxpayer wealth:

• In anticipation of the end of the world from covid, Chicago and Illinois politicians saw to it that McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago was converted into an emergency medical facility.
• The cost of this conversion was $66 million of taxpayer wealth.
• The center ended up treating a grand total of….38 patients.
• Thus, the cost of the conversion comes out to about $1.7 million per patient served. 

Again, what a waste of money. How many patients could have been treated by diverting that $66 million to treating actual covid victims and not building some grandiose temporary, and unnecessary, medical facility that was so severely underutilized? Who came up with the planning assumptions for this disaster?

4) Across the country, stupid politicians are defunding their police departments without a good replacement for the lessened police presence, resulting in soaring crime rates in those cities. Americans need medical care relative to the covid virus. People are homeless, hungry, and addicted to drugs across the country, i.e.they are in need.

So what does the Federal government do with about $200,000 of Federal taxpayer money? They are sending it out of the country to Costa Rica so that politicians down there can help Costa Rican police forces make women more a part of the Costa Rican National Police force. This incredible waste of American taxpayer money will be used to:

• Create training modules to train police officers in that country on current gender issues.
• Part of the money will be used to develop manuals on good practices that will be used by Costa Rican police officers to verify the “application of gender Equality in daily police and administrative work.”
• And finally, the money will be used to hold the first ever “institutional meeting of women leaders in gender matters.” 

Seriously, we are sending taxpayer money to help a foreign country fix its sexist police force when the number of homeless, hungry and addicted in this country is in the millions? Unreal and so bad priorities.

The numbers do not lie and these numbers show how inept, inane, wasteful and stupid our American political class continues to be, from sexist police forces in Costa Rica to millions of dollars wasted in Chicago to billions of dollars wasted on a horrid student loan program to fatal energy policies in California.

The Blatant Hypocrisy Of The American Political Class - COVID Edition

We have spent the past 11 posts documenting and discussing over 130 instances of voting fraud, irregularities, whistle blowers, statistically impossible results, videos, and other examples of voting corruption. Unfortunately, there are still other voting corruption irregularities that we will need to review in subsequent posts. Once the voting process is corrupted the end of democracy is in sight so it is important to continue to discuss and uncover any instance of corruption.

Today, though, let’s take a quick look at some good old politician hypocrisy. As we have pointed out any number of times, the members of the current political class are almost always greedy, inept, self focused and worse of all, super hypocritical. Nowhere in the recent past has their immaturity and hypocrisy been more on display then during the past year relative to the covid pandemic. 

During that time, politicians at the state and local government level have called on their constituents to make incredible sacrifices and changes to their lives in the name of getting the virus under control. Which is fine and good but the problem is that while they were asking us to make sacrifices they decided that they did not have to abide by their own rules and decrees, the classic “do as I say, not as I do.”

Today we will review their lack of leadership and selfishness. The following examples come from previous posts we have done and a recent list of their hypocrisy from the Freedom News Report website:

• The mayor of Chicago, Lori Lightfoot, shut down all non-essential activities earlier this year in order to get the virus under control in her city. Her shutdowns included all hair salons which were deemed non-essential. Except for her, as she had her favorite hair salon open up just for her, defending her hypocrisy by saying that she was the face of Chicago and needed to look good, certainly a non-essential activity on her part.
• NYC mayor, Bill deBlasio, shutdown parks and gyms in his city in order to prevent New Yorkers from co-mingling in those places and potentially spreading the virus. But even though his constituents could not get out and about to walk in the parks or go to the gyms to stay in shape, he allowed himself to walk in the city parks and reopened his gym just for him, justifying his hypocrisy that he had to stay in shape to fight the virus while not caring if his voters could not stay in shape to fight the virus.
• Michigan governor, Gretchen Whitmer, probably put in place some of the most stringent, and stupid shutdown rules of just about any politician. Rather than selectively shutdown nonessential business only in high virus locations like the Detroit metro area, she arbitrarily shutdown the entire state, including far flung counties that had had no or a minimal number of covid cases. She put in place stupid rules that allowed certain products to be bought but only in small stores, not larger stores, But her biggest hypocrisy was even though she had shutdown all recreational boating activities another stupid rule that would do nothing to stop the spread of the virus, her husband tried to get out for a boating trip over Memorial Day weekend, dropping the fact that he was the governor’s husband when the marina would not release his boat to him as they followed his wife’s shutdown rules. She compounded the hypocrisy by saying her husband was just joking. Yeah, right.
• If Michigan had the strongest restrictions on citizen movement, then New York probably had the second strongest via its governor, Andrew Cuomo. As Thanksgiving approached, he urged and shamed New Yorkers to not visit friends and relatives in order to cut down on gatherings and the spread of the virus. But it was his intention to ignore his own warnings and head upstate to visit his elderly mom for Thanksgiving. Only because word somehow leaked out that he was going to violate his own stay at home orders did he cancel his trip.
• The billionaire governor of Illinois, J. B. Pritzer, was another governor who issued stern lock down and no travel orders on his citizens early in the pandemic. But word got out that even though his citizens were forbidden to travel in and out of Illinois, his family had traveled to their horse ranch in Florida, a violation of his own order. When confronted with this possibility, he went nuts on the reporter, admonishing him but never denying his family had violated his no travel order in an attempt to divert attention from this violation. He eventually admitted that they had traveled to Florida but justified that they needed to “feed the animals'' on his ranch. Given that he and his family are billionaires, I am pretty sure they could have hired some local in Florida to “feed the animals,” that his family is not the only folks capable of doing the feeding.
• California governor Gavin Newsom has been a strong advocate for masks, social distancing, and not getting together in groups. He violated all of those tenets when he recently attended a large dinner gathering at the now infamous and elite, French Laundry restaurant, out in California. He had a high end, expensive dinner that was attended by high powered lobbyists all of whom were not wearing masks, were not social distancing, and who were meeting in a large group. Like other hypocritical politicians, Newsom originally thought he was smarter than everyone else and that he could b.s. his way out of the embarrassing situation. When everyone did not buy his lines of justification for attending the dinner, he finally admitted he had screwed up.
• Earlier in the year, Anchorage, Alaska mayor, Ethan Berkowitz, closed all indoor dining places in his city. Which was fine except for the little detail that he had an entire city street roped off and temporarily put out of commission so that his wine bistro could set up tents for outdoor dining, another “do as I say, not as I do” insult to fellow bistro and restaurant owners in the city who did not have the power to shut down city streets for their business’s benefit.. Fortunately, karma has hit him in that he recently had to resign because of alleged accusations that he was exchanging nude photos of himself with his mistress.
• Denver Mayor Michael Hancock ordered his citizens to follow his example because he had cancelled his Thanksgiving plans and was not gathering with friends and family for the holiday and possibly spreading the virus. Seems okay until you realize he jumped on a plane to attend and enjoy a Thanksgiving gathering with his family in Mississippi.
• Austin, Texas mayor, Steve Adler, was adamant when talking to his citizens in that he threatened to shut down the city unless his residents stayed home. Hypocritically, he did not follow his own advice especially since it became known that the video announcing his intentions to shutdown the city was made during his visit to his family’s timeshare in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, where he had flown to AFTER attending a 20 person wedding at a hotel in Austin. So he wants his citizens to hunker down at home, not travel, not get together in small gatherings and he does the exact opposite.
• LA County supervisor, Sheila Kuehl, voted to shut down all outdoor dining in LA County within the next 24 hours. Knowing what was going to happen, she made a beeline to a restaurant in Malibu to eat a nice meal before the 24 hours expired. I guess the virus was dormant for those 24 hours and she did not endanger anyone since the deadline for closure had not yet happened
• The mayor of Philadelphia, Jim Kenney, shut down all dining in Philly for safety reasons and then flew to Chesapeake Bay, Maryland, where he was caught having dinner, indoors, without a mask or social distancing. I guess the virus had not yet hit Chesapeake Bay.
• Back to Chicago mayor Lightfoot who not only opened up a shutdown hair salon only for herself but she also attended a maskless Chicago street party to celebrate Biden’s election victory.
• Despite hair salons being shut down in San Francisco, Nancy Pelosi went to one that opened up just for her to get her hair done, endangering the business of the hair salon owner with fines and license forfeiture. When photos got out of the Speaker walking around in a hair salon without a mask that was not allowed to open, Pelosi took the low road and blamed the salon owner for forcing Pelosi to get her hair done and forced her to do it without a mask: “It was clearly a setup. This salon owes me an apology.” This is not what a leader does, blame others for their own screw ups.
• Beaumont, Texas mayor, Becky Ames, got caught because she leaned on her nail salon to open up to have work done on her nails. She had previously closed down all other nails loans in the city as being non-essential services. But when she needed her nails done she got the owner of her favorite salon to open up. Once caught she tried vainly to say that she was not getting her nails done but getting a substance to remove a mail treatment she had received weeks prior that was giving her trouble. She actually visited the salon, went in, and had a nail treatment. Which I guess was okay since the virus only affects people who are getting their nails done, not people who go to a nail salon to get their nail treatment fixed, subtle difference.

You get the idea, politicians in this country treat themselves as royalty, above the struggles and needs that they put their constituents through. Complete lack of leadership, complete lack of courage to own up to their mistakes, always blaming others once they get caught in the hypocritical act, and a complete disregard for their hypocrisy. Self centered, selfish, stupid and hypocritical, that is the American political class today.

As a side note, be aware that all of the above infractions have been committed by Democrats. Similar infractions, if any, by Republicans have not made their way into news reports that I could find.
