President Joe Biden delivered his first State of the Union address on Tuesday evening, and it was full of optimism and hope for the future of America. But as we dig deeper into the details of his speech, it’s clear that many of the problems Biden spoke of have been around for a long time – and some of them were even created by the president himself. In this blog post, we’ll take a look at the various issues Biden discussed in his speech, and how his past actions have contributed to the current state of affairs.
From manufacturing jobs to tax reform, police reform, and even Social Security and Medicare, Biden has been around the block for a while now. He voted for NAFTA and supported Most Favored Nation (MFN) status for China, which have been credited with hurting manufacturing jobs. He also spoke of the unfairness of the tax system, yet has been around the tax code for a long time. On police reform, Biden sponsored the 1994 crime bill often linked to mass incarceration. And when it comes to Social Security and Medicare, Biden has been around for decades, but failed to reform them as the population began to age.
On top of that, Biden also spoke of the threat posed by China – a threat he downplayed and even exaggerated the degree to which his administration had stood up to. And while gas prices have come down from their massive highs last summer, they were pushed up by an administration that canceled the Keystone XL pipeline immediately, and has been uniquely hostile to the oil and gas industry.
In short, President Joe Biden set an optimistic tone in his State of the Union address, but his past actions have contributed greatly to the persistent problems America is facing today. In this blog post, we’ve taken a closer look at the various issues Biden discussed in his speech, and how his past actions have contributed to the current state of affairs. We hope you’ve found this summary helpful, and that you’ll join us in rising to the challenge of undoing the damage done during Biden’s long career.
