Bloomberg: Biden Says the Union Is Strong. Back Home in Scranton, the Mood Is Sour

As Joe Biden and Matt Cartwright would tell it, “the state of the union is strong” – but Bloomberg reports that in “Scranton, Pennsylvania, the view is gloomier.”

Residents say “inflation is soaring, wages aren’t keeping up, labor shortages appear everywhere, government is dysfunctional and the American dream seems just out of reach.”

Rising prices – caused by Democrats’ socialist stimulus – are “killing all of us,” according to one Scranton businessman, but Cartwright is advocating for MORE government spending.
