Senator Eric Schmitt of Missouri recently voiced his concerns about the negative impacts of President Biden’s economic policies, which he referred to as “Bidenomics.” In a digital interview, the Republican senator criticized the Biden administration, calling it a “total disaster” and labeling Biden as one of the worst presidents in American history.
Schmitt accused President Biden of “weaponizing the administrative state” in a way that has never been seen before, stating that his actions have been detrimental to the American people. He expressed his disbelief that an American president would not prioritize securing the southern border, considering the issues of drugs, violence, and potential terrorists.
The term “Bidenomics,” which President Biden often uses to promote his economic efforts, has become increasingly unpopular as voters struggle with the current state of the economy. Even Biden himself has expressed confusion about the term, stating that he doesn’t know what it means but believes it is “working.” However, reports suggest that even Democratic supporters are critical of the messaging, with one strategist calling it the “worst messaging you could ever imagine.”
Senator Schmitt highlighted the negative effects of Bidenomics on his constituents, stating that average Americans are experiencing “sticker shock” due to higher costs under Biden’s policies. He attributed this to the excessive spending and the declaration of a war on domestic energy production, causing inflation and increased supply costs. Despite Biden’s attempts to downplay the situation, Schmitt emphasized that the impact is real and that people are feeling the financial strain.
In addition to criticizing President Biden’s economic policies, Senator Schmitt also expressed concerns about Hunter Biden, the president’s son, who is facing charges related to unpaid taxes and possession of a firearm as an unlawful user of controlled substances. Schmitt questioned the lack of accountability for the Bidens and raised concerns about the potential compromise of the president’s position.
House Republicans are currently investigating whether President Biden was involved in his son’s foreign business dealings during his time as vice president. Senator Schmitt highlighted the concerning connections between the father and son and criticized Hunter Biden for “showboating” during a press conference outside the House instead of attending his deposition.
Furthermore, Senator Schmitt recently sent a letter to the secretary of the Army demanding answers regarding service members who were discharged for not receiving the COVID vaccine. He called for their reinstatement, back pay, and an apology from Secretary Lloyd Austin, stating that their treatment was disrespectful.
Reflecting on his first year in the Senate, Senator Schmitt spoke about his commitment to fighting for the agenda that the people of Missouri elected him to pursue. This includes taking on the administrative state, protecting free speech, and addressing divisive indoctrination programs within the CIA.
As we enter the new year, Senator Schmitt’s criticisms of President Biden’s economic policies and concerns about accountability and freedom continue to resonate among Republicans and conservative voters. The impact of these issues on the American people, particularly in Missouri, remains a topic of debate and discussion within political circles.
