The nation’s economy has seen massive gains, but the income and wealth of the bottom 80% of America have barely budged while the income and wealth of the richest Americans have exploded.

This change didn’t happen because of the so-called “invisible hand” of the free market.

It happened because of policy decisions pushed by the monied interests – decisions that deregulated Wall Street, allowed corporations to bash unions and monopolize their industries, opened the American economy to Chinese imports, let pharmaceutical companies charge exorbitant prices, cut taxes on the rich and bailed out the biggest banks while saddling working people with student debt and medical debt.

Here's what he will say:

"There's less Cheetos in a bag than before, this isn't because the Fed printed, and we spent, money we didn't have or earn like drunken bureaucrats it can only be because Cheetos are greedy!" Then he'll look at the camera and whisper, "shrinkflation"... The left will stand up and clap like they were paid to do that...
 
I figure Biden's going to sound like the Muppets' Swedish Chef...
