Biden Accidentally Admits the Truth “There is No Federal Solution”

President Biden Joins the White House COVID-19 Response Team’s Regular Call with the National Governors Association to Discuss his Administration’s Response to the Omicron Variant and to Hear from the Governors on the Needs in Their States.

Twenty-one minutes into a long-winded briefing, president Biden made a startlingly accurate as well as ironic statement.

Look, there is no Federal solution. This gets solved at the state level.

The Irony

If only Biden realized what he just said and compared those two sentences to what he is actually doing.

Biden’s Vaccine Mandate 

In November, OSHA, under prodding from Biden, issued a vaccine mandate for all companies with 100 or more employees.

On November 15, I noted Appeals Court Blocks Biden’s Vaccine Mandate in a Blistering Rebuke

Summation of Key Terms Used by the Court

  • “Fatally flawed”
  • “One-size-fits-all sledgehammer”
  • The “one-size-fits-all Mandate” is simultaneously overinclusive and “underinclusive”
  • “Immense complexity”
  • It regulates noneconomic inactivity that falls squarely within the States’ police power
  • True purpose is not to enhance workplace safety, but instead to ramp up vaccine uptake by any means necessary.”

That was the unanimous ruling by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals.

There were so many cases the jurisdiction was moved to the 6th Circuit. Biden could have dropped the mandate, but didn’t.

The Supreme Court will rule next week. 

No matter how the Court rules, Biden is not willing to let states make the call.

2020 Presidential Campaign

The WSJ note that during the 2020 presidential campaign, Mr. Biden pledged “to shut down the virus, not the country.” 

He also slammed President Trump in a debate, saying: “Anyone who is responsible for that many deaths should not remain as President of the United States of America.” 

Trump was not “responsible” for those deaths, but if he was, what about Biden?

Lose, Lose, Lose Setup

Unfortunately, if Biden resigned, Kamala Harris would be president.

Then again, why would it matter?

After all, Elizabeth Warren May as Well Be President, She Makes All Biden’s Calls.

Even if Biden resigned, nothing would change.

Fortunately, the legislative process will grind to a halt after the Democrats get blown away in the 2022 Midterms.

However, it’s still a lose, lose, lose setup with three more years of inept rule by executive order. 

Thanks for Tuning In!

“”Look, there is no Federal solution. This gets solved at the state level.“”
==========
Most here would be surprised at the DEMAND for a nationwide vax mandate and the vehemence against the unvaxxed shown on reader comment boards from the NYT, LAT, WaPo, SFGate and more.
Few people understand civics or government in the USA and how the divisions of power work. 
This is why when voting season comes around, I always try to suggest that instead of having to perhaps show a drivers licence to vote, one should have to take and pass a basic civics and current affairs test.

The irony is heightened by the fact the Trump was censured for not seizing on a federal approach.

Yes but the rule by executive order will last much longer than 3 years.
More and more, it will become the default go to option for everything …

Yes, the inept rule that brought 28% 1 year stock market gains, unemployment from 6.8% to 4.2%, and real GDP to 5-6%.  If Trump had those kind of numbers you know he would never shut up about it, not that he ever shuts up about anything.

I suspect the US gov has suckerpunched the publick.  Till Thanksgiving, Omicron was prob kept under wraps.  To allow holiday preparations and ticket sales to go 100%.  Then, WHAM!   The torture of the publicks began.  Flight cancellations, testing site hell, stranded plans.  Good ole fashion fun.  But the money wins.  Just like inflation is leading to record profit margins!

One of his most lucid moments as president.
It’s clear that local policies are needed at the state and even county/city level. What’s needed for NY City is not what’s needed for rural nowhereville USA. That’s why the responses should always have been left to Governors and then delegated to more local levels of leadership. The only response needed at the Federal level was funding for a vaccine+testing and control of our borders (by air, land and sea).

Is anyone surprised? All of this was predictable in 2020.  Biden was never a leader. However, he had a ‘plan’, and morons believed him.

We have “democracy” backwards.  Local rule is the only true democracy.  Local decisions should take precedence over State or Federal, instead of the other way around. If the local community makes a decision, but the State or the Federal government can override that decision, that’s not democracy, it’s tyranny.  I believe that’s what the Founders intended, but Lincoln changed all that.  We are now an empire with a corporate/fascist central government that can and does run roughshod over any State or local community it wants to.

pax amerika was always and still is all about the money.   when folks in power tell you it’s not about the money,  it’s certain, it’s about the money.   the peasants were fed a fantasy world of where they live.   hell in late 1800s and early 1900s our ruling class of pols and businessmen at least used the proper term for us.   empire.    for past 75 years that truth has been verboten in decent company.     glad some of us figured this out as teens.   makes life much easier.   i feel sorry for the chumps who never get it, or figure it out in adulthood and middle age.     it’s corporatism.   mussolini called that socialism turned on it’s head.      anyone still caught up in D v R game beyond punting fun,  has been played.

Sometimes you have to go up a level.
For example, my county (Denver) mandates masks and most people living in Denver are OK with that. But, neighboring Douglas County does not and it drives DougCO residents batshit crazy when they visit Denver and are told to mask up. And, they are very unpleasant about it.
Our Governor has a strong libertarian streak and refuses to have a state rule.

Governor Polis is correct to keeps his hands off.  It is a local issue.  All three counties withdrew from Tri-County Health because of the tyranny of these public health czars.

I’m not the only one who is reading this as Biden wants the states to mandate vaccines. That is the “solution”. Godfather Fauci has said the pandemic will not end until everyone is vaccinated. “But the one thing that is clear is that the mandates, I believe, would
have less push-back on a broad sense if they are done at the local
level.”
New York is coming close to that. The states that are going the other way (Texas, Florida, etc) will be coerced into instituting mandates. This insane push for mandates is a worldwide phenomenon.
90% of France has been vaccinated but that is not good enough. They are now eliminating the “test” option for the unvaccinated to coerce the holdouts into getting vaccinated.
The city of Boston just eliminated the test option as well. You WILL get vaccinated and you WILL get your booster every 6 months.

Any government leader knows that if they do what Biden has done, their careers will be over. Biden has played pass the buck to avoid looking REALLY bad reversing course on vaccinations. FL Gov Desantis is showing good results; spiking cases but few deaths. The country wants good results, so leaders will quietly follow Florida’s lead.

OK.  We’ll take our chances, but don’t forget that when there is no federal government calling the shots, a lot of things will change.  The massive cuts to welfare in the new red nations will send millions scurrying over the OPEN borders to blue states where you get paid just for being there and having children.  Republic of Texas will finish our wall(s) and resume drilling.  Open trade with other republics will help things shake out.

I’ve had enough of your “left-bash in search of a question”. I’m sure you’d rather banks could pyramid late fees and other unethical practices Warren helped END. And you’d rather have never had JCPoA and other global peace projects.
So carry on the reductionist fallacy and nihilism without me. I’ll skip your columns and unsubscribe.

We have a serious problem of uneducated people in government.  I guess that’s because the most vocal of them have no knowledge of American history, having gone to school elsewhere.  The congress is determined to put in place a new version of Roosevelt’s New Deal.  If they had studied American history they’d know the New Deal was an absolute failure.  More regulation and taxation of corporations only made unemployment worse.  It was only when Roosevelt came to realize that war was coming and only American industry could produce what we would desperately need, that the crippling New Deal was largely abandoned and replaced with hundreds of thousands of new government contracts for U.S. manufacturers to save our nation–which they did from Ford, to GM to Sears to Singer Sewing Machine and more manufacturers than you can count today.  The “Green New Deal” is essentially the same as the old failed new deal, except with the added idiocy of the greenies who think they can reverse 20,000 years of earth warming by destroying our economy.

I suspect most government employees were educated in the USA. This is probably why they don’t understand American history in a meaningful way. Few public school teacher would be capable of discussing the New Deal in any terms beside ‘social justice’, with universities not far behind. They are incapable of thinking critically, so the New Deal failures never come up.

If I recall correctly Mish, you bashed Trump for backing out of the JCPoA and it was one of the few policies you agreed with the Obama administration on.  I’m guessing One-armed Economist hasn’t been reading very long, or at least hasn’t been paying attention.
