‘Out of Touch With America’: Biden’s Small Business Budget Makes No Mention of Inflation
Budget proposal requests millions for 'climate crisis'
While the Biden administration's small business budget references environmental initiatives more than 20 times, it makes no mention of inflation's impact on businesses—a contrast that Republican lawmakers say shows a disconnect between the White House and American voters.
The Small Business Administration's 2023 budget proposal, which the White House in March submitted to Congress for approval, lists the "climate crisis" as an agency priority, requesting $10 million toward environmental initiatives such as the replacement of federal government vehicles with zero-emission cars. The request, meanwhile, makes no mention of rising consumer prices, which in March hit a four-decade high of 8.5 percent—even as recent polling shows inflation is a top concern for business owners. Four out of five small business owners say their companies have "suffered" from inflation, according to an April Goldman Sachs report.
Sen. Joni Ernst (R., Iowa), a member of the Senate Small Business Committee, said the budget is "out of touch with America and reality."
"The president and his SBA administrator are more focused on appeasing climate activists than helping Americans on Main Street," Ernst told the Free Beacon. "They need to get a clue."
The Small Business Administration told the Free Beacon that while inflation is not explicitly mentioned in the budget, the agency's proposed funding for domestic production and global supply chain programs will...
A snake in President Trump's cabinet: Mark Esper tells all to 60 Minutes
Rather than slink off into obscurity after such a performance, if not back to the big-bucks war-machine defense-contractor lobby whence he sprang, he's out shilling a tell-all book and promoting it on 60 Minutes in a bid to discredit the man he purportedly "served," President Trump.
According to 60 Minutes interviewer Norah O'Donnell, he now calls Trump "a threat to American democracy."
But his interview with 60 Minutes didn't come out the heroic way he probably thought it would.
Unbeknownst to him, he demonstrated what a coward's coward and slithering snake he was while in office. Everything he did involved some new means of undercutting President Trump, or, as O'Donnell summed up, "subverted many of the president's wishes."
The interview can also be viewed on CBS's site here.
There were multiple bad things he described doing in that interview, but the summary line that stands out comes near the end, when he tells O'Donnell why he stayed in office instead of resign on principle, which is what decent people do:
O'Donnell: "Critics will say, 'Why now in a book? Why didn't you speak out during the Trump administration?'"Why shouldn't someone who's busy disagreeing with and working to undercut the president not get fired? Did he tolerate that kind of behavior when he was in the Army himself, or as a top lobbyist for Raytheon? What a hypocrite right there.
Esper: "It's very simple. If I spoke out at the time, I would be fired, number one. And secondly, I had no confidence that anybody that came in behind me would not be a real Trump loyalist. And Lord knows what would have happened then."
Worse still was his reason for not resigning after he decided he disagreed with President Trump on everything -- his fear that Trump might get someone loyal to his aims as his replacement, "a real Trump loyalist" as he put it. So the only reason he sat there warming his seat at the Pentagon was to prevent Trump from hiring someone else who was interested in advancing President Trump's policy aims. What a guy.
The arrogance of his logic comes in the part of his statement that came just before it in the video:
