Biden Aims to Win Back White Working-Class Voters Through Their Wallets

[BidenPresident]

With his call for a “blue-collar blueprint to rebuild America,” President Biden on Tuesday night acknowledged rhetorically what Democrats have been preparing for two years: a fierce campaign to win back white working-class voters through the creation of hundreds of thousands of well-paid jobs that do not require a college degree.

In truth, much of that path was already laid by the last Congress with the signing of a $1 trillion infrastructure bill, a $280 billion measure to rekindle a domestic semiconductor industry and the Inflation Reduction Act, which included $370 billion for low-emission energy to combat climate change.

But wouldn't such legislation affect ALL Americans and not just white folk? My parents and grandparents were subject to the same foibles of the outsourced manufacturing in America as anyone else. Why would white folk feel singled out?

And you are celebrating this?

Not necessarily. So long as you don't give them highly skilled, technical jobs to do they can manage if closely supervised. It is my observation that illegals work hard, fast, and sloppy. They don't pay attention to detail.

It'll never work. Once these non college educated whiteys get good paying jobs, they'll be deemed "rich" and subsequently get taxed taxed taxed.

White folks aren't singled out; they just feel that way.

Working class white people with minimal education have had a chip on their shoulder,
mostly out of resentment over the deindustrialization of America, which is understandable,
but they've been voting directly against their own economic best interests as a reaction to it.

One consequence of being undereducated is that you're susceptible to believing any con.
The more sophisticated have noticed this pretty clearly, and despite having faults like everybody else, Biden is politically sophisticated..

I think Biden is trying to show them that they've been fucking up big time without actually setting them off by saying it.

Making more dollars and passing them around gets us to calamity faster, but notice how our leaders dont care.

I am sooooooo shocked.

If you can't pass a wealth tax, you just print more money,
making everybody's worth less,
and you redistribute wealth that way.

Agree or disagree with it philosophically, it's just built into the system.
Our economy doesn't know how to function without it, whether or not that's even possible to do.

It looks all the world like the Chinese are already in charge of America, and are doing a controlled implosion.

Buckle Up.

If having good restaurants is running America, you may have a point.
Kowloon is a little slice of heaven from my perspective.

We do have a popular Chinese broad as our mayor here in Boston, if that was part of the plan.

He is 'winning them back' by stealing their wealth. Yeah...good job, Biden! Then he stands around clueless and making dumb remarks like this.

Lie.

they've been doing it for the last 40 years. ever noticed how quickly roads turn to shit now ? so yes, it really is.

but the point was to make jobs for white people.

there are many reason contractors prefer illegals. they show up on the first day of *fill in the blank* season being just one.

And they don't list them as employees.

His plan to send the IRS after waiters is the bestest! I totally believe that will convince all the service folks who survive on tips that he is just swell!

Remember when he said folks that make less than 400,000 per year would not pay one more dime? Well, Pepperidge Farm remembers!

And I think these folks will too. Totally worth the 170,000 new IRS agents that were supposedly after those "evil" rich guys. First order is: GET THOSE WAITERS AND BARTENDERS!

I don't know any reputable contractors that prefer illegals for any sort of skilled work. The drywallers are about the only exception I see.
