Dissatisfied with the new arrangement of the deck chairs, Janet and Brian prepare to disembark
Nick Aramas, Red State: Biden’s handlers reported to be planning a major administration shake-up
There’s a new report about the coming Cabinet shake-up being eyed by the White House after the November midterms.
According to Axios, White House officials (notice they say White House officials, not Biden) are considering a “broad reorganization of President Biden’s economic team.” This is part of a shake-up being done by White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain, who has former administration officials Jeff Zients and Natalie Quillian making up lists of people for Cabinet and senior administrative positions.
Among the people who the report is pointing to as likely to get the boot are Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Brian Deese, the director of the National Economic Council.
…
I don’t think I’ll ever forget Brian Deese saying if you didn’t include meat, the prices wouldn’t be that bad. He also said that the high inflation was the reason that they needed to pass more spending bills. But perhaps one of his most famous comments was how we all just had to accept the higher gas prices which they blamed on the war in Ukraine because “This is about the future of the liberal world order and we have to stand firm.”
Ask yourself, is there a single Democrat who isn’t in favor of higher gasoline and heating fuel costs, except during the two months leading up to an election? Of course not; that’s their official policy and goal, as was declared by then-candidate Obama in 2008.
So Aramas is correct in concluding that
[W]hile Deese and Yellen are awful, the problem is more than just the people — it’s the policies.
So they can dump Yellen and Deese, but unless they do a complete 180 on all their failed policies, it’s not going to help anything. The problem too is it all flows down from the top, and whoever is truly in charge here needs to go, to have any real change.
