Having been in office a little over a year, President Joe Biden has racked up some pretty significant accomplishments throughout his short tenure in the Oval Office.
Although unsuccessful in using the federal government to coerce employers to force their workers to receive the COVID jab, Biden's numerous achievements include:
- Crippling domestic production of oil and natural gas, which has contributed to higher gas prices
- Further dividing the country by blaming a global pandemic on "the unvaccinated"
- Forcing federal employees to get the COVID jab against their will
- Weaponizing his Department of Justice to target parents at school board meetings and label them as "domestic terrorists"
- Restricting Americans' breathing on federal transportation through unscientific mask mandates
- Signing several multi-trillion-dollar spending packages that have led to a four decade high in inflation and increased the national debt to over $30 trillion
Now, some of you may be scratching your heads and wondering how any of these disastrous policies and outcomes could be considered beneficial, let alone "achievements." But the reality is that for Biden and his administration, these are accomplishments to be celebrated.
The entire goal of the American Marxist isn't to implement policies that promote individualism and self-sufficiency (or prosperity, for that matter), but ones that encourage government dependency and collectivization.
As more Americans begin to suffer under rising gas prices and inflation, the likelihood that they will need some form of government assistance will dramatically increase, thus creating a situation where citizens need their federal government for basic necessities.
As the number of people needing government assistance grows, so too will the size and scope of the federal leviathan in Washington, D.C. Such a situation is exactly the outcome statists like Biden are hoping for, as it gives them more power and control over the people and their daily lives.
Luckily, however, our Founding Fathers provided us with the perfect tool to rectify such dilemma. In Article V of the Constitution, the power to call a Convention of States will permit the states to propose amendments to limit the power and scope of the federal government, place term limits on federal officials, and place fiscal restraints on the federal government.
Doing so will not only help return to the power to the people where it belongs, but it will also restore America to the union our Founding Fathers envisioned for us all.
