Biden says Green New Deal, free college, rather than an increased defense budget, will end China threat
President Joe Biden is citing the growing threat from China as justification for his expansive multitrillion-dollar domestic agenda.
Biden said in a Wednesday congressional address that China is “closing in fast” on the United States. He proposed universal pre-K, free college, and green infrastructure as remedies to the threat posed by the communist regime, adding that “there’s no reason the blades for wind turbines can’t be built in Pittsburgh instead of Beijing.” One solution that went unmentioned was increasing the defense budget, which is slated to shrink under the Democratic administration.
The Biden speech drew criticism from Sen. Tom Cotton (R., Ark.), who said the president did not adequately explain China’s threat to Americans.
“President Biden’s remarks on China did not meet the moment,” Cotton said. “He missed an important opportunity to rally our nation against the greatest foreign threat to the United States.”
The president’s speech elicited renewed Republican concerns about his budget priorities. Just as the president was reading his speech, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R., Ky.) press office noted Biden’s budget proposal expands spending in “every corner of government with one big exception: national defense.” The Biden defense budget first introduced in March comes in at $715 billion, which marks a slight decrease from the Trump administration’s last defense plan when accounting for inflation. The budget proposal fell far short of the proposed 3 to 5 percent increase in defense dollars demanded by congressional defense hawks.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
