Exclusive — Ship of Fools: 62 Percent of Biden Officials Who Handle Economic Policy Have Zero Years Business Experience Per Report

Matthew Boyle 13 Jul 2022

An explosive new analysis published by the Committee to Unleash Prosperity reveals that Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration has very few business-oriented officials in the administration and that the vast majority of people handling economic policy for the United States government under Biden have no business experience whatsoever.

The 15-page report, authored by economist Steve Moore and the Committee to Unleash Prosperity‘s executive director Jon Decker, was provided to Breitbart News exclusively ahead of its public release. The headline of the report is: “Not Ready for Prime Time Players: Majority of Biden Appointees have Zero Years of Business Experience.” The report analyzes the backgrounds of the “top 68 officials in the Biden administration, starting with the president himself, and including cabinet members, regulatory officials, and White House advisers.”

In the executive summary, the authors detail some key findings in the report. First and foremost, 62 percent of Biden’s top political appointees and staffers “who deal with economic policy, regulation, commerce, energy and finance have virtually no business experience.”

What’s more, only one out of eight Biden officials has what the authors deem “extensive business experience,” and the average level of business experience across the Biden administration is about 2.4 years. The median years of business experience among Biden’s top appointees is zero, since so few have any experience in the private sector, and the “vast majority of the Biden economic/commerce team members are professional politicians, lawyers, community organizers, lobbyists, or government employees.”............To Read More.....

They're Beyond the Peter Principle: They're Criminals

The Peter Principle: People are promoted to their level of incompetence. 

By Rich Kozlovich

Since Biden became President of the United States I've tried in some small way to track Biden's picks to important positions in the federal government.  From the cabinet, to the judiciary, the military, and to the various agencies, there are two things that stand out to those who've paid attention: They're weird and they hate America, and we're seeing the madness of King Brandon on display. 

On June 29, 2022 it was reported that Energy Secretary Granholm violated the Hatch Act by encouraging votes for Democrats during interview, and that conclusion was the result of an investigation by the U.S. Office of Special Counsel.  Clearly an independent federal agency.  And she "received appropriate training and the office has advised her that any future violations will be considered a "willful and knowing violation of the law, which could result in further action."  Wow!  They were really tough on her!  Just a little snark.

 

But anyone whose paid any amount of attention to these people and watched the Senate hearings where they were questioned there's only one conclusion.  They were already at the peak of the Peter Principle before they were appointed.  But the quality of their competence is only part of the problem.

 

Secretary of Home Land Security Mayorkas has been in the news a lot these days regarding his

• Ministry of Misinformation: Freedom is Slavery!
• Ministry of Misinformation: Freedom is Slavery! Part II
• Ministry of Misinformation: Freedom is Slavery! Part III

Did he lie?  There's been a pattern of lies to Congress by Mayorkas, as the Washington Post Says Mayorkas’s ‘Prompt Deportation’ Claim Is ‘Mostly False’.  Immigration at the border has been in reality open treason by Mayorkas and the Biden administration.  That breeds the obvious conclusion expressed by Sen. Rick Scott: Mayorkas Has Lied to Congress & the American People – He Must Resign. 

 

Silvio Canto, Jr. says there are 51 reasons for Mayorkas to resign because he's in charge of this immigration mess and recently 51 people were found dead in a trailer roasted to death, and its all on Mayorkas, but especially Joe Biden.  Their blood is on their hands. 

Then there's the energy crisis.  No advanced society can exist and prosper without sufficient energy.  America was a nation that was not only energy independent but an energy exporter less than two years ago, is now facing an energy crisis and even black outs.  Why?  America has more oil than all the Middle East combined, but we have to drill for it.  

 

We have energy issues because Biden and his crew are nuts over something that's not occurring, , and blaming something that has absolutely no impact on the world's climate, manmade and claim we need to end use and become totally green.

Kelly Haughton posted this piece, Fire Kerry, fire McCarthy, fire Granholm "Ending the "energy crisis" requires serious housecleaning."

 

“Joe Biden can end the global energy crisis in 3 easy steps: 1. Promise to stop his anti-fossil fuel-fuel agenda for the remainder of his administration. 2. Withdraw from the Paris Agreement. 3. Encourage other countries to do 1 and 2. Production will surge, prices will plummet.”

She outlines three steps in fixing that problem, First fire John Kerry for his opposition to fossil fuels, and his efforts to destroy oil producing companies.  Second, fire Gina McCarthy, Biden’s National Climate Advisor. McCarthy, a one time EPA administrator who was a disaster then and still is, is part of this insane green cabal.  She and the position she holds should be assigned to the ash heap of  history and finally, fire Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm. 

 

All of these people are in opposition to America's energy production and independence.  All of these people are demanding America totally transition into alternative energy production and "go green" in our use of energy, which is scientifically and factually  impossible, and they have to know it. No amount of incremental wind and solar power can ever provide energy independence.

• Biden’s electric caravan to Green utopia runs out of gas
• Which Country Or U.S. State Will Be The First To Hit The Renewable Energy Wall?
• And The Winner Is, Germany! 

Conclusion? If what I've said about energy production is true, and it is, and if their policies and actions are in direct opposition to that, and they are, then we must conclude they're consciously and deliberately working to destroy America. 

 

Why should they be allowed to continue?

Thought For the Day

By Rich Kozlovich

 

The U.S. Government has finally reached peak "Peter Principle" "...every position in a given hierarchy will eventually be filled by employees who are incompetent to fulfill the job duties of their respective positions."  This leads to Peter's corollary: "In time, every post tends to be occupied by an employee who is incompetent to carry out its duties."  Here's a list of Biden's cabinet members, appointees and Members of Congress, who by their actions and thoughts, demonstrate they qualify for that definition to be applied to them.  

 

Yellen, Powell, Mayorkas, Granholm, Buttigieg, Milley, Austin, Blinken,  Pelosi, Schumer,  Cardona, Granholm, Fudge, Becerra, Harris and Biden.   The rest are most likely just as bad, I just haven't followed them. 

 

The question is:  Are their actions criminal?  And clearly in some cases, they are.

 

The Perez Principle

The Democrats’ national chairman has been promoted far beyond his talents, and it shows. Plus, various items from hither and yon.

byScott McKay April 29, 2019

You’ve no doubt heard of the Peter Principle, which holds that in any large organization individuals will rise in the hierarchy until they ultimately reach a level beyond their competence to adequately perform their jobs.   The theory, first put forth in a 1969 book by Laurence J. Peter, was intended chiefly to describe corporate structure — but it surely also applies to politics.   And particularly in the Democrat Party, which puts the principle on steroids by turbocharging it with identity politics.

Consider the case of that party’s current chairman Tom Perez, a former hardcore leftist lawyer from the Department of Justice who ended up as the Labor Secretary in the second term of the Obama administration — you remember that time, right? That was when the president assured us that manufacturing jobs and rising wages were a thing of the past and we had to accept the New Normal of sclerotic economic growth and increasing welfare dependency........To Read More.....
