If you didn’t listen to Joe Biden give his first major speech to a scaled-down joint session of Congress, then I envy you.

But if you missed it, don’t worry. Big Daddy Government is here to take care of you. Just listen to Grandpa Joe.

You see, Joe Biden knows how to take care of you. What YOU need is an infrastructure job! And you don’t need a college education for it, you just need a UNION job.

The American Jobs Plan will create millions of good paying jobs – jobs Americans can raise their families on. And all the investments in the American Jobs Plan will be guided by one principle: “Buy American.” American tax dollars are going to be used to buy American products made in America that create American jobs. The way it should be.”

Now – I know some of you at home are wondering whether these jobs are for you. You feel left behind and forgotten in an economy that’s rapidly changing. Let me speak directly to you.”

Independent experts estimate the American Jobs Plan will add millions of jobs and trillions of dollars in economic growth for years to come. These are good-paying jobs that can’t be outsourced. Nearly 90% of the infrastructure jobs created in the American Jobs Plan do not require a college degree. 75% do not require an associate’s degree. The American Jobs Plan is a blue-collar blueprint to build America. And, it recognizes something I’ve always said.”

Wall Street didn’t build this country. The middle class built this country. And unions build the middle class.”

See, no college education required! Except for the college education and more education that we’re going to now insist be free to everyone.

First, access to a good education. When this nation made 12 years of public education universal in the last century, it made us the best-educated and best-prepared nation in the world. But the world is catching up. They are not waiting. 12 years is no longer enough today to compete in the 21st Century. That’s why the American Families Plan guarantees four additional years of public education for every person in America – starting as early as we can. We add two years of universal high-quality pre-school for every 3- and 4- year-old in America. The research shows that when a young child goes to school-not day care-they are far more likely to graduate from high school and go on to college. And then we add two years of free community college. And we will increase Pell Grants and investment in Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribal colleges, and minority-serving institutions.”

Biden laments that other countries are “out-educating” us. Hm. Maybe if the kids were in school, and you encouraged the kids to stay in school, and you insisted on STEM courses and hard sciences instead of giving out degrees for gender studies, then perhaps the American kids wouldn’t be getting out-educated. But if kids are being told that grades are racist and having Critical Race Theory shoved down their throats, what do you expect?

Never mind, because Biden Big Daddy Government is going to provide free child care (where are you going to find that?) and get women back in the workforce (kind of hard when kids are not in school full time and child care facilities are full or limited), and pay everyone $15 an hour (wait, and you think child care is going to be free or affordable if you are paying everyone $15 an hour?).

Biden plans on spending money like it’s going out of style – or at least the value of the dollar implodes due to massive inflation. What does it matter to him? He won’t be around to see the fallout or the economic collapse under the weight of national debt. He’s old Grandpa Joe, and he plans on being your sugar daddy until he’s wheeled out the door. And just taking one look at the man, there is no way that he makes it to another term. He will be lucky to limp through the midterms – and honestly, isn’t that the plan? The plan is to give Kamala Harris, who is standing behind Biden every single time he walks up a flight of stairs, a chance at more than two terms as president. Biden looks like a frail old man, who has rapidly compiled an Amazon wish list of progressive spending dreams and is begging Congress to pass them all before he dies. Or before Kamala makes sure he doesn’t make it up another flight of stairs.
