Gov. Polis Says Biden Has ‘Every Opportunity’ To Turn Economy Around

  1. Democrats have the House, the Senate, and the President, and what have we gotten?

    40 year high inflation, record gas prices, supply chain issues still unresolved, stock market continued downward plunge, and many food products unavailable. Democrats will not be getting my vote in November. Trump's economy was great compared to this disaster.

  2. I thought all the woke people told us that money is infinite without cost to the taxpayers and law enforcement need not be funded. Also the U.S (4% of the population) can instantly remove oil production to save the environment. This is exactly what you voted for so I don't understand the apprehension.

  3. ⚠️ 2000 MULES ⚠️

  4. Empathy? What about empathy for your kids and grandkids that have to live with climate change caused from fossil fuels. You have empathy for some pocket change but not for the health of the planet that will effect your children's lives. Crazy. I'm convinced people really don't like their kids because of their actions.

  5. It is deceptive to portray Biden as a "passive victim" of global inflationary pressures. Biden refers to rising gas costs as "Putin's gas prices," but they were already rising before the Ukraine crisis. So, how did Biden respond to the situation? He added to the rise in costs by doing something as insignificant as barring Russian oil imports, which were already small. Prior to that, he mishandled pre-war diplomacy by not only dismissing Russia's main security concerns directly, but also failing to recognize the need of the Ukrainian government being a direct party to discussions. Biden, on the other hand, now maintains that the Ukrainian government decides what happens in diplomacy. These activities imply that Biden's decision-making is a direct cause of the war he blames for inflation.

    Biden's decisions have also played a role in the subsequent increases in food prices, both in terms of gasoline costs and the restrictions on agricultural exports from Ukraine and Russia. The supply chain disruptions that Biden frequently associates with covid-19 have been exaggerated by his administration's role in prolonging outbreaks internationally, including deporting migrants who became infected on U.S. soil via border agents and/or detention center personnel, as well as hoarding of vaccines or vaccine technology in both the United States and Europe.

    The so-called "global problem" of inflation, which Biden claims he has no control over, has been triggered by sanctions imposed by his own administration, NATO, and EU member countries, as well as their preoccupation with prolonging the Ukraine war by continuing to flow "western" weapons into Ukraine. Because of restrictions or outright bans on relatively cheap Russian fossil fuel exports to the rest of Europe, more customers are reliant on fewer suppliers, who now have more influence over world prices.

  6. Hey Polis. Republicans already supported MONTHS ago to suspend the Gas Tax and nothing, but crickets on the Democrat side. Don't pretend this is a Democrat idea now. smh 🤦‍♂

  7. Trump. Make America great again

    Biden. Make Taliban great again.

  8. This is no surprise at all,
    thanks to sleepy Joe's policies we have x2 gas and grocery prices, your 9.6% inflation and drop in annual real wages. My condolences to anyone like myself retiring this year. 30years of nonstop work just to have a crooked system swallow all your earnings.

  9. Recovering from the economic damage that covid caused is going to take time… it's not going to just fix itself over night. The last thing we should do is put the party back in charge that oversaw and mismanaged the pandemic to begin with.

    Repubs are probably happy that gas is $5 per gallon. They know that dimwits will direct their discontent at Democrats rather than Putin, and that their own re-election chances will be bolstered.

  10. Trump 2024. Make America great again.

  11. Another day in the national disaster known as Joe Biden

  12. Tell your banks to stop being greedy. total debt $147,000 home equity $550,000. Cannot get refinanced because my credit score is 620 and my bank of 25 years, CHASE cannot help me. Thye are the ones that helped bring my credit score from 796 before pandemic to 480 after they allowed us to put our mortgage and heloc loan in deferment saying it would not affect our credit and it did. At 56 I finally got full time employment last year and have busted my keister to get my credit up to 620, ALL for nothing!!!!!!! They see a number, a stupid credit score!! Not that I have made 89 on time payments, not that I am now fully employed …and to top it off FHA won't help if you were deferred and have not made payments again for a minimum of a year, and of course mine started in September of 2021 and it has not been a year! Does this country really want to bring their middle class to poverty levels???????

    DISGUSTING! I have no respect left I see this nation as capitalist bullies who only give a SH*T about themselves. Mr. Jaimie Dimon hope you are enjoying your big fat bonuses, you POS!

  13. 🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂😂😂🤣😂😂😂

  14. I believe Biden can , but he and Congress have to do right by American people to send out stimulus checks one way or the other . The American people need and want help , his American people . Help us president you did everyone of the other countries , how about your own .

  15. This guy is smokin something! Lifting the China tariffs doesn’t put money in our pockets it strengthens China- he is still flooding his state with money when the free government money started this problem, lift the gas tax?? So how are you going to fix your roads? This guy is ridiculous!! Misinformation at its worst, his “ answers” will increase the problem!!

  16. The Democrats have breached the Capital building in Washington D.C. So far seven of the insurrectionists have been arrested and are in jail awaiting their criminal trial.

  17. I would sure like to hear one democrat commend any Republican or any Republican commend any democrat, then I might try believing any politician.

  18. Despite the economic crisis this is the right time to start up investment

  19. Build back better….amazing results!!
