President Biden took a very natural posture today when he joined the picket line with the UAW.
No one running for any office in the USA can match his credentials when it comes to unions and the economic stability of the greatest Middle Class in the world.
He has been a friend to unions all his adult life, especially his political life. He understands all to well the meaning of Middle Class. He knows how vital unions are in maintaining not only the USA Middle Class, but, the very economic viability of this country.
Every company in the Free World wants to compete for profits in the USA. Even China understands the importance of the Middle Class and wants to maintain its interests here, “TikTok,” etc. But, the American consumer is a commodity all of itself and it is due to Middle Class wages.
President Biden said a great thing in the early times of his administration. It went something like this, “Unfair consumer prices need to be met with competition in order to bring about better prices in this country.” I think it was something about $5 per pound hamburger meat. If I remember correctly President Biden provided subsidies to small farmers to increase their production and provide competition to Big Agriculture.
That is Joe Biden and decades of knowledge that improves the lives of all Americans. It is fitting Joe was on the picket line with the UAW, a history making event for a USA President. In a way, that also makes a huge statement about other Presidents in they frequently were anti-union or held them at arms length for the sake of their politics. By Joe wading into these strikes he removed ambiguity about his support for “The Average Joe” and their love of family and what it takes to raise a happy, healthy, and well educated American child(ren).
Thanks, Joe. Today was hugely important and in true Biden spirit, you did it well.
