President Joe Biden’s White House staff are under fire for their poor choice of optics during what was supposed to be a positive speech about the current state of the economy and American workers.
Biden traveled to Virginia on Thursday to speak about tumbling inflation and higher-than-expected growth in gross domestic product last month while also criticizing GOP plans to impose a simplified national sales tax to replace the current convoluted and complex progressive tax code.
Biden appeared at a steamfitters union hall in Springfield in what was his first major economic speech of the year, but the imagery used during his speech caught the eye of social media users and critics alike.
As the president spoke, a sign behind the president’s podium read, “President Biden’s Blueprint For America.” Underneath that message, the sign read, “good jobs, lower costs, better pay.”
This is a clear attempt by the Biden administration to take credit for the strong economic growth that the country is currently experiencing, but the reality is that this growth is a direct result of the policies put in place by the previous administration.
The unemployment rate is currently at 3.5 percent, which is the lowest it has been in 50 years and this is a direct result of the policies put in place by the Trump administration.
Furthermore, consumer prices are still much higher now than at the end of Trump’s term, even though they have fallen somewhat over the past few months. Interest rates are far higher now than when Trump left office as well.
The Biden administration is trying to take credit for the strong economic growth that the country is currently experiencing, but the reality is that this growth is a direct result of the policies put in place by the previous administration. The American people deserve to know the truth about who is responsible for the strong economy and it’s clear that it’s not President Biden.
It’s time for the Biden administration to stop trying to take credit for the success of the previous administration and focus on policies that will continue to drive economic growth and create jobs for the American people.

The GOP’s plan to impose a simplified national sales tax to replace the current convoluted and complex progressive tax code is a step in the right direction and will help continue to drive economic growth and create jobs for the American people.
