Here is one succinct interview containing the smorgasbord of far-left policies the people behind Joe Biden are proposing as the solution to the inflation crisis they have created. It is remarkable to see it all packed into one 8-minute segment. There is so much crazy in here it would take a week of articles to unpack it.
The ultra-leftist Biden Transportation Secretary, Pete Buttigieg, appears on ABC with George Stephanopoulos to discuss the solutions to the massive economic collapse that looms all around us. Within the interview Buttigieg states the Biden administration goal is to use the high cost of living (policy driven inflation) as an opportunity for the government to take over household expenses and create equity via government distribution.
If reasonable people do not intervene quickly, the executive branch and legislative branch will move to begin subsidizing and controlling medicine, childcare, housing and food costs by diverting tax dollars into the social equity system. Depending on income, the Biden administration plans to offset higher prices for Americans by providing the essential services and products they need. In essence, Democrat-Socialism with a filter of equity in distribution, ie “enhanced dependency.” WATCH:
Remarkably, Stephanopoulos references one of the most insane New York Times op-ed’s ever written around economics {ARTICLE HERE}. Within the reference, the Democrat legislative proposal is for the government to take over the purchasing of essential products like food, fuel, gasoline and medicine. The government would then distribute those products. The entire premise is based on some academic leftist theory of economics that is just nuts. It looks nothing like capitalism.
The baseline for the approach contains the premise that inflation is driven by too many people chasing scarce goods. Thus prices are rising. This is how the Democrats look at inflation and explain the problem. Their solution is for government to buy the food at the prices they claim people cannot afford, and then sell the food at prices they claim the people can afford. [Replace ‘food’ with any item they determine]
Notice in the interview when Buttigieg is challenged about the high cost of gasoline, he complains that oil companies are not drilling enough to generate the oil and refinery capacity that we need. Essentially, the oil companies are to blame for not creating more supply.
Now, pause, and think about that.
The same Pete Buttigieg voices strong opposition to any further exploitation of oil and natural gas. Buttigieg and the Biden administration vociferously advocate for green energy transition with extreme urgency and apply punitive punishment toward any opposition. Moments later, they are blaming the oil and gas industry for not providing enough supply….
…. Do you know what that advocacy conflict sounds like? That conflicted and twisted mental outlook is the psychology happening in abusive relationships. If you had made me a better sandwich, I wouldn’t have needed to punch you in the mouth. If the oil companies we restrict were doing the things we restrict them not to do, then things would be better.
Because the oil, gas, farms or (fill_in_the_blank) etc are not doing their jobs correctly – as to predict the damage caused by govt policy and offset the consequences – then government must take over the controls of the industry and manage the process. History rhymes…
Sounds just like Venezuela.
He didn’t say anything, except blame oil companies and Republicans.
This is Cloward-Piven policy defined.
Taking this fine article’s point to its logical extension via the engineered baby formula “crisis”:
The “Biden” regime redistributes baby food to its favored group at the border at the expense and harm of all other groups. Soon, as the US becomes an engineered “food desert”, this favored group will be plentifully supplied with the choicest foods via this custom-made supply chain while citizens pay for it and they themselves have little.
As well as free medical care while citizens must do without – “compassion”…ya know.
Free immigrant legal services (including deferred prosecution), transportation, child care, housing, representation, education, cash, even their own media conglomerate.
Most importantly, illegal aliens now have a Constitution that is re-interpreted specifically to their benefit, the protections of which uniquely apply only to them.
Can I sneak myself across the border and claim myself a confused meat sock identifing as a non-binary transextraterrestrial vegetable and get me some government supplied free stuff.
As a white male I find it’s often convenient to identify as a black lesbian African bottle nosed dolphin.
All you have to do is increase your Social Index score, and you too can join one of the favored groups that will get free stuff. Of course, that does mean avoiding associating with causes and groups that are not in favor with whomever is in charge of our Federal Government. But I promise you it is worth it!

CVR, your comment made me realize this: Just as there is a market for carbon credits, so too will become a market (sub rosa of course) to sell people offsets for their ESG score.
What a concept!
Bread and circuses has never worked.
Well it does for those paying the price of admission to the Colosseum.
The only proven sure fire way known, that you are not part of group destined to be thrown to the lions. Is, to be part of, “The crowd.”
(Please read with as much sarcasm as possible)
it’ll work until the people financing it figure out they’re not going to get repaid
No, but you know what does… Convincing people they have a choice when they in fact have none.
Aka voting, parties, synonyms of parties, R vs D, etc, etc, etc…
If you want a man to consent to being ruled, let him believe he can participate in his choices.
So Snuffleupagus doesn’t call him out on the fact Xiden is shutting down oil production???
Atlas Shrugged.
Brought to you live.
RePete was raised by a communist academic guru.
He helped his dad translate Gramsci’s prison notebooks.
“As the late and very much missed Andrew Breitbart said: Politics is downstream from Culture. Control The Culture, Corrupt it from within to suit Leftist Philosophy, Overturn the meanings of words, and what you get is a Gramscian Tyranny
“You see, Buttigieg is not simply a follower of Gramsci: he and his Father have been deeply immersed in that Italian’s thinking for quite some time:”

Antonio Gramsci: Take over the Institutions!
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2014/04/antonio_gramsci_take_over_the_institutions.html
Antonio Gramsci’s contributions to marxist thought cannot be over stated. Imho, we wouldn’t find ourselves where we are today without his ideas/concepts of achieving cultural hegemony. Obama and his entire administration were steeped in this ideology and this is why I believe a large # of Biden’s admin are former Obama officials.

What’s the GOP to permanently counter our communists plans?
The only plan I’ve heard of is Peter Navarro’s and he got arrested.
People though me nuts, but they want rationing cards which will be handed out to those in good standing with the nationalist party. Charlie Munger let it slip out a year ago when he said he admired how the communists run China.
What a lying POS!
Does this sound familiar?
1917-The first “free election” in Russia was held. Along with “Peace, Land and Bread”, Lenin promised a “free” election where all votes would be equal and each citizen would be heard. Lenin’s Bolsheviks only garnered 23% of the vote. (Probably about the same that Traitor Joe Biden really got). But his campaign continued after sunset on the day of the “election”.
There was mass corruption in the balloting and “extensions” to allow more ballots. The agenda to “transform” Russia into the first Marxist governed nation did not cease after the polls closed. There was strong public propaganda messaging to the public that the Bolsheviks had won when, in fact, they had lost.
This is what Obutthole meant when he spoke of the “fundamental transformation of America”.
We out-commied Russia by years! Four years before that, in 1913 USA, Woodrow Puke Wilson and a “progressive” US Gubmint adulterated the Constitution irrevocably beginning with the 16th and 17th amendments. These granted fed access to our wallets in perpetuity and untethered US senators, while holding them to forever align with the donor class.
Unless every constitutional amendment since the 20th century is scrutinized anew, and corrected by We The People, the Republic is dead. Repeal 16 and 17 for starters.
Of course the RNC will never speak of it.
But even Lenin lost faith when he saw the failures and had to be assassinated
Well, I’m not vaccinated. And I flat out refuse to get vaccinated. So, I’m sure I’ll be denied all life sustaining necessities.
You won’t be alone.
You all are NOT alone! I think the propagandists want us to think WE are the minority but honestly I don’t think we are!!! That’s why they are so desperate to shut down any dissent, and alternative thinking. They wouldn’t want us all figuring out that we are actually the majority!!!!! Go figure.
This is called communism
Lying is what leftists do best. They believe they are righteous in gaslighting for the cause. Evil is as evil does.
Indeed, the puppets are all dancing harder, as time is running short. Mid terms are coming. The “crisis” isn’t timing out as they hoped. Now they must push the economy to the edges of the envelope ASAP. Takeover of whole industries is not easy. You must create massive suffering so the people cry out to government for help!
What can trigger this faster than mere economic distress? War…a BIG one. What would create massive fear and disruption to enable government taking over the means of production on vital needs? Nukes. Small scale but enough damage to crash the markets, create global emergency, martial law.
Think these puppets aren’t capable? They’re trying their best to provoke it RIGHT NOW! Long range missiles given to the rogue regime in Ukraine….for what? Obviously to be launched into Russia proper. China and Taiwan is the next card being played, while Iran is on the back stove being warmed up. And the RINOS are in on it.
Putin has warned that if Ukraine fires those U.S. missles into Russian territory, he’ll retaliate against major “decision making”, western cities.
I don’t see the press reporting on this…but the White House press corps might start asking for transfers to anywhere but D.C.
Boom! You put it all together, and not a single piece missing, except for the role that Russia may or may not be playing.
It’s hard to exclude their involvement in the puppet show given all the benefit that has already accrued to them in terms of Gazprom, territorial control in Ukraine etc.
In general, when a war is advancing and no one is clamoring for a settlement, it should be presumed that no one wants a settlement, which means that some other logical explanation exists beyond what is visible for why ALL SIDES, ie, the warring parties, AND THE UNWARRING PARTIES, do not want a settlement.
It thus adds a surreal character to these events which counsels that all presumed understanding therein should be questioned.
Nonetheless, it would be internally consistent with Biden’s depraved thinking to force all fossil fuel activity in the US to cease, thus allowing bad actor OPEC (consisting of America’s greatest enemies!) to reign supreme at the expense of America’s sovereignty and security.
Russia, as a member of OPEC, would thus be a major beneficiary of such a depraved plan. But at this stage, shock at the sight of Biden’s depravity is inexcusable. It is what it is, an ugly stain forever on America’s soul which progressives should never hear the end of, assuming we all survive to tell the tale.
Yeah, this approach is working so well for Venezuela and Cuba. The government owns everything and decides who gets what. Rationing? Of course, the elite will no have to worry about such trifle matters.
Their solution is for government to buy the food at the prices they claim people cannot afford, and then sell the food at prices they claim the people can afford.
So essentially the solution is to take bad policy caused inflation and add a misery fun factor of liquidity inflation.
No need to wake up America as it is too late. We have passed the point of no return with the incompetent people and the interloper who are destroying our nation. We are doomed. The fix is in for additional viruses to be released to ensure no reason absentee voter ballots to flood the country again in October. Hence, with no signature required the communists will retain control of Congress. I fear for the future of my grandchildren. I see no peaceful way out of this collapse of our society.
One thing that is so bad about everything that is happening, is the fact that there is no relief on the horizon that we can look forward to. November of 2022? No, not with all the squishy GOP representatives that will bow down to the left’s calls to put everything in the past and move on with “bi-partisanship”; as in “we know we jailed conservatives for their political beliefs, but let’s just leave them in prison to rot and move on with gun control legislation” type of agreements.
The only hope is to vote for TRUMP endorsed candidates. At least you know they have been picked to fight for the US citizen and are not Uniparty members.
What else should we expect from this depraved person? Wisdom and truth are not his associates.
I’m so tired of supposedly brilliant political analyst and robotic reporters/journalist on Fox, Newmax, OAN say Biden put together a cabinet of dunces. Everyone of these “dunces” know exactly why they are there and what they are doing. Saul Alinsky & Cloward-Piven spoken everyday. This is merely the 3rd term of Obama’s Transformation of America. Miss those mean tweets yet?
Bingo was his name-o
One could argue that joebama’s Woke community is not only similar to Hitler’s Volk community but perhaps based on it. Hallmarks include state education for social control, welfare and suppression, the concept of fundamental change, censorship, propaganda, street thug agitators, corporatism, police state, elimination of other parties, political persecution, no guaranteed basic rights, using race for political advantage, classifying those who disagree as enemies, eugenics.
obviously (since i’m sane and have a gag reflex) i don’t watch stuff like george’s show. does anyone know if george pointed out to buttjudge the insanity of what he’s saying, as the author so eloquently did?
Energy sector, just as the police should do, general strike.
No Justice. No gas. No Justice. No oil.
No Justice. No police.
Deal with that mofos
More commie problem-reaction-solution to generate commie social engineering. This is what happens when baby killers run the country.
Pete, Your statement indicates a high level of treason. Should you be top of the list that gets a visit from “we the people”? Your arrogance is beyond my understanding. The only thing I can find that comes even close historically is Louis XVI. The suffering is real. The penalty will be just.
George F. Will, are you ashamed of yourself yet?
“If reasonable people do not intervene quickly, the executive branch and legislative branch will move to….”
Petey is the one that likes to take it in the ass so why are we the ones bending over ?
These people have no honesty or integrity, they stole an election, after all. They simply make up a lie to fit their narrative and and have no concerns that one lie contradicts another.
The democRAT party is NOT SOCIALIST! This is COMMUNISM…call it what it is. They want to ENSLAVE America to their CORRUPT ideology for POWER and CONTROL. They don’t care about YOU or your CHILDREN. They LOVE SLAVERY. It’s all about THEM! PURGE them ALL by any means necessary!
That guy is pure homosexual evil.
What is occurring is a facist model. Businesses continue to operate as normal BUT they are under control of the government.
Unfortunately it won’t work any better than the Chavez inflation plan which ended in mass hunger. But the Chavez plan worked great for the communists. They are firmly entrenched in power & are doing quite well. Hugo Chavez died a billionaire his daughter has a 3 billion dollar net worth. The starving Venezuelan masses not so well they are fleeing to narcoterror state Columbia which is a step up many are huddled at the us border
Stolen elections have consequences!
If people would spend as much time and energy on Wickard vs Filburn as they wasted on Roe we wouldn’t have these issues.
Unfortunately conservativism has largely been turned into arguing for social political democracy.
Essentially, give multi-national corps their super profits at the expense of more government subsidies and debt? These people have gone completely off the rails. And this gov debt magnifier will increase inflation. Inflation fueled by more debt and more inflation. These people are crazy. I think this massive handout plan is a democrat bribe for votes for the coming midterms.
The Biden presidency is a Communist regime.
Biden and Harris told everybody exactly what they were gonna do before the election but now the idiots who voted for them are surprised that they’re doing exactly what they said they would do. Yeah, Democrats are towers of wisdom…
He’s a special kind of evil. And there is no doubt he prepped for this interview as an actor would memorize his lines.
This is their plan to turn citizens into slaves of he state.
All of this from the idiot ex Mayor of small town South Bend IN. The incompetent fool who couldn’t fix potholes will now provide everything your family needs to survive. How big of a fool do you have to be to believe this nonsense. This moron needs to get back breast feeding his child. He fills the dual roll of Mom and Dad. That’s per the idiot Democrats at least.
Socialism is communism. USSR. Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics. Socialism is politically correct word for communism. People can say they believe socialism but they will not say they believe in communism.
While Normies see and understand the impossible mental gymnastics required to be able to agree with the government shutting down the oil supply and at the same time Blame oil companies For the lack of supply, Duude, the number of people who just sit and nod in agreement is high.
It’s really not possible to offer logical, reasonable, on a whiteboard, step by step explanations that show that what they believe is impossible, they simply will not change.
Now it is out, most of us knew it.
Biden will resign before he is impeached on Jan. 7 because his wife is not as stupid as he is. And for those wondering about whether we will have the 2/3 Senate votes for Conviction of Impeachment?
If any of these Guru’s from the RINO party think there won’t be 2/3 of the Senate ( 67 votes) to convict you may want to ask yourself which Senator will vote for non-conviction when there is NO HOME HEATING FUEL in the Winter of 2022-23. All of the #3 fuel supply will be distilled for trucks because in the months leading up to the winter it is too expensive to deliver goods and they need to reduce that cost..
Those Senators who vote for non-conviction of Biden’s impeachment will get to see their neighbors tear them from their homes and throw them in the street – like is done at a Bolivian Carnival. This winter it will get very real.
Don’t these idiots remember how this same policy played out last time?? The CCCP (SovietUnion) used this exact same formula, it impoverished their nation, I remember a quote from one worker. He said “they pretended to pay us so we pretended to work”
So Dangerous. Cooler heads have to prevail.
Pete Buttigieg is an entitled empty suit….IN the middle of a supply chain disaster he took a two month paternity leave- and he hasn’t done ANYTHING that I can see in 18 months to change things for the better…You can tell that he has Presidential plans, but I can’t imagine that even the Dumb Democrats would think that’s a good plan
