BIDEN 100 DAY COUNTDOWN John,
We’re approaching the Biden Administration’s 100th day on April 30th –– and to highlight all of the promises being broken at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, we’ll be in your inbox every week this month with facts and figures to set the record straight.
Today we’re addressing President Biden’s broken job promises.
President Biden made major promises on the campaign trail to create millions of jobs (18.6 million jobs to be exact) and to grow the economy by $1 trillion more than President Trump did.
So, how’s that promise holding up?
Not so great. Here’s why:
Just hours after taking the oath of office, Biden got to work using all the ink in his pen to sign executive orders at a record pace, including an order to immediately revoke permits for the Keystone XL Pipeline.
Years of progress and close to 11,000 jobs were eliminated with the stroke of a pen, including 2,000 good-paying jobs right here in Wisconsin. Every one of those workers were told by Biden’s climate czar that they could “be the people to go to work to make the solar panels” under the administration’s green energy plan, but those solar panel plants are nowhere to be found and many of those workers are now unemployed.
To make matters worse, the major tax hikes, regulations, and minimum wage increase would stall economic growth and halt any type of meaningful job creation.
Biden’s recently-unveiled $2 trillion boondoggle infrastructure plan alone would raise corporate taxes from 21% to 28% and eliminate 159,000 jobs in the process.
Businesses all over the country are tightening their belts and taking proactive steps to avoid the consequences of these decisions –– including a Ford plant in Ohio that recently announced plans to move electric vehicle production to Mexico.
These empty promises are exactly why Mike has introduced legislation in Congress to protect American workers, rebuild our economy, and push back on future job-killing policies like the Green New Deal.
Thank you, Team Gallagher
