Biden knocks 'fiscally demented' Republicans in MLK Day speech

Source: The Hill

President Biden on Monday called Republicans “fiscally demented” and knocked GOP priorities during the keynote speech at the National Action Network’s (NAN) annual breakfast to mark Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

“They’re gonna talk about big-spending Democrats again. Guess what? I reduced the deficit last year $350 billion. This year, federal deficit is down $1 trillion-plus. That’s a fact. And there’s gonna be hundreds of billions reduced over the next decade. But so what? These guys are the fiscally demented, I think. They don’t quite get it,” Biden said of Republicans, prompting laughter from the crowd.

Biden in his speech offered sweeping remarks on his administration’s work on civil rights and called out Republicans for their economic stances in light of disparities faced by minority communities.

“I think the economy — the way it should grow in America — is from the bottom up and the middle out. That way poor folks have a shot, middle-class people do well and the wealthy still do very well. They still do very well. But they start to pay their fair share,” Biden said.

Over and Over Again. Attack the Democrats. The Democrats are doing this and doing that. They are spending too
much and destroying our economy.

It ain't complicated. That is their plan and they have had that plan for 100 years. Same plan different players.

The Republican Party doesn't care about all the people in our country: it only cares about ONE GROUP--"REPUBLICANS"

Now some people think that this show is very complicated. It ain't complicated. It is the above sentence with 19 words.
