| In President Biden’s address before Congress Wednesday evening, the American people heard a lot of proposals and promises, but all were based around the same old, exhausted idea — that giving government more power to issue mandates and to move around untold trillions more dollars of our money is the answer to the problems that government has created.
From educational freedom to health care, President Biden’s overarching theme was government control. His message to Americans was that they cannot be trusted to make the best choices for themselves and for their families. We know this is not what Americans want nor is it what they deserve.
Americans want a strong economy that creates not just jobs, but careers. Many millions of Americans are unemployed and many tens of millions more struggle to make ends meet. Entire communities face bleak economic futures, and young people, in particular, have been promised a bright future dashed by student loan burdens driven by badly-designed subsidy programs, out-of-reach housing prices driven by government restrictions on building, and the slowest economic growth of our recent history. Imagine if a President or Governor had the courage to say that anyone who wants to start a new business will be able to do so tomorrow, all licenses and regulations and permits sorted out in 24 hours. Imagine if a President or Governor had the courage to say let’s end the destructive and counterproductive trade wars with other nations, now and unconditionally. Imagine if a President or a member of Congress had the courage to end all tax and subsidy and protection programs that give advantages to politically-connected businesses at the expense of small businesses. America has always been the place where all it takes to succeed is to have an idea. It’s getting harder and harder, and nothing President Biden offered will make it any easier.
