Why Has Biden Killed the Economy?

            One would think that a robust economy would be difficult to kill – unless it was done on purpose. The economic policies of President Joe Biden are just as bad or worse than his immigration policies and foreign policy. It seems that every single thing that he touches is damaged or destroyed.

            Elizabeth Hanke stated that Biden’s “Economic mismanagement has turned the labor market into mayhem with consequences far worse than what many Americans imagined.” Biden’s “greater government-imposed regulatory burdens and barriers to employment” are creating havoc with businesses. The companies cannot protect “workers from the impact of increased government presence,” and this condition leads to “worker frustrations.” 

The recent upsurge in union strikes and workers seeking unionization is problematic, but might be just a natural response to worker scarcity, lack of employment stability, and Biden’s overall mishandling of the economy.

The current state of the economy has made businesses vulnerable, forcing them to rely on – and expect more from – employees.

Worker organizing efforts generally indicate poor working conditions, issues with management, or the perception that workers are not adequately valued. The recent wave of union strikes over the past several weeks might be indicative of overall difficult working conditions in the U.S. economy and not necessarily attributable to management issues at individual firms.

            Problems exist in many parts of the economy, and most of them were caused by poor economic policy and mismanagement of the economy. The problems are in the form of “sharp increases in consumer prices, supply disruptions, and labor shortages that resulted in longer working hours.” All these problems lead to employee dissatisfaction, and worker dissatisfaction causes employees to look to unions for protection. Even private firms have limited “ability to provide stable working conditions and competitive salaries for their employees.”

            All these conditions are the result of incompetence in the Biden administration. The economy was recovering nicely from the problems of the pandemic until Biden started signed executive orders shutting down oil pipelines and other energy functions. Now Biden is mandating COVID-19 vaccinations that further hinder businesses. “Biden was ‘successful’ by implementing policies that reduce market freedom, reignite inflation, and threaten American workers.”

            If Biden would release the government stranglehold that it has on the free market and let it work as it should, workers would feel no need to strike or unionize. Biden’s has made the economy a disaster just as he has done in every other area of the nation.
