In the midst of a struggling economy, all eyes are on the Biden administration and their lackluster attempts to address the issues plaguing everyday Americans. President Joe Biden and his team have been working tirelessly to convince the public that everything is just dandy, but not all Democrats are toeing the party line. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, known for her progressive views, recently attended a rally in Missouri where she painted a much bleaker picture of the economy from the perspective of the average Joe.
Ocasio-Cortez declared, without mincing words, that our economy is in a “crisis.” She challenged the Washington insiders and Wall Street analysts who claim that everything is hunky-dory by asking how they could possibly understand the struggles faced by hardworking Americans. She championed the cause of workers who are forced to make tough economic decisions, like choosing between childcare and work or medicine and rent. Ocasio-Cortez made it clear that she stands with the everyday folks who feel the impact of the economy in their calloused hands and achy joints.
While Ocasio-Cortez didn’t name any names, it’s evident that her impassioned speech was aimed at President Biden and those who are downplaying the economic hardships faced by Americans. President Biden has been touting the success of his economic policies, dubbing it “Bidenomics” and claiming to create millions of jobs and lower inflation rates. However, recent polls reveal that a significant portion of the population actually feels worse off under Biden’s presidency.
It’s clear that the Biden administration is out of touch with the struggles of everyday Americans. While they may point to job numbers and GDP growth as indicators of success, it’s the people on the ground who know the real truth. It’s time for the Biden administration to stop with the empty rhetoric and start providing real solutions to the problems facing our nation’s economy. The American people deserve better.
