What in holy hell is Sniffer going on about?

Remarks by President Biden on Bidenomics | Philadelphia, PA | July 20, 2023

THE PRESIDENT: Hello, Philly! Have a seat if you have one. (Applause.)

… There ain’t nothing like a joke that you have used every way from Sunday. As Willie Brown said.

You know, I always kid Donald when — (inaudible). (Applause.) You know, Delaware is small, so we have to fight for every inch of territory. So, there was a debate on whether or not — whether Delaware — the state of Delaware owned the Delaware River along the Delaware shore up to the highwater mark in New Jersey.

And they said, “No.” We went to the Supreme Court, and it got something right. They said, yeah, we do. Anyway. (Laughter.) I always kid them all the time.

Folks, look, before I begin . . .

WTF?

I got tired of trickle-down economics. I’ve never been a big fan. If the wealthy do very well — I’m a capitalist. I like the wealthy to be able to be wealthy. But if they — the mere fact they do well doesn’t mean that everybody else does well.

WTF?

I watched my dad growing up. There was not a whole lot of benefit trickled down on his kitchen table as a consequence of trickle-down economics to what everyone from the Financial Times to the Wall Street Journal has become my change — my — a different philosophy. They — I don’t — I don’t think they started off trying to be complimentary, but they started calling it “Bidenomics.”

And our plan is working — Bidenomics. And here — (applause).

WTF?

Remember the story? In order for inflation to come down, you got to cut wages for hardworking folks, you got to have unemployment up in order for inflation to come down.

A lie. This was never claimed.

Well, guess what? I never bought that. I don’t think the problem in America is that too many people are working or that people are making too much money.

Certainly not in your America.

The fact is companies made record-high profits during the pandemic.

Pharmeceutical companies that you invested in. That’s the problem.

Job satisfaction in America is at a 36-year high. We got more work to do, but people are coming off the sidelines to work.

Among cynics.

And, speaking of cynics: . . . .

But we also have solutions. A lot of my friends in organized labor know: When I think climate, I think jobs. I think union jobs. Not a joke. (Applause.) Not a joke.

And I might add, notwithstanding what the other guy said, windmills do not cause cancer. (Laughter.)

Um . . . , citation, jerk?
