In his speech to the nation tonight, President Joe Biden had little to say about real problems, such as skyrocketing gas prices and the humanitarian crisis he has caused at our border through poor diplomacy. But he was full of solutions to problems that don’t really exist.

Nowhere was this clearer in what he had to say about the economy. Biden was smart to brag about the economic recovery, even though it began without him, and he probably doesn’t deserve much credit for it. But he can hardly brag about it while simultaneously asserting an urgent need to reshape or otherwise fix the economy with all these futile “jobs plans” he keeps talking about.
