Reparations are an insane proposal, and Joe Biden and the White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre are dodging the question of whether or not Biden supports them. Despite Biden publicly saying he supports a commission on reparations during his 2020 presidential campaign, he’s stayed silent when it comes to Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee’s bill that was voted on by the House Judiciary Committee.
Furthermore, Democrats are pushing for reparations as a means of buying votes. San Francisco recently approved a plan to provide $5 million payments to black residents who met certain criteria as a means of providing reparations for slavery. The criteria in the proposal included those who had served time for drug crimes or those affected by urban renewal plans from 1954-1973.
This is an irresponsible use of taxpayer money and it’s an obvious attempt to buy votes. Reparations are an extreme measure and just more political posturing from the left. A pathetic attempt to win over voters.
Redistributing wealth from one group to another won’t solve the issue of disparity, and it will only create more inequality.
Joe Biden and Karine Jean-Pierre need to stop dodging the question of whether or not Biden supports reparations. They need to come out and make a statement about the issue, either they back their nutty Democrat friends or they have to speak on the side of reason and shoot them down. If they’re going to stay silent, then they’re supporting the Democrats’ insane spending plans.
The American people deserve to know where they stand on this issue, and they should be held accountable if they refuse to answer.
Issuing reparations is not the answer. It’s an irresponsible use of taxpayer money. Joe Biden and Karine Jean-Pierre need to come out and make a statement about the issue, and the American people deserve to know where they stand.
