Home Depot founder SLAMS Biden for 'BRINGING DOWN' America



Biden’s America is not the America that Bernie Marcus knows and loves. The co-founder of Home Depot spoke to Glenn Beck to lay out why.

Marcus is 93 years old, and he’s lived through it all. He grew up in a family who struggled to get food on the table, but never struggled to maintain a strong attitude centered around American values. He’s been through all the Republican and Democrat administrations and has never seen one like this.

He says, “I never thought that the world could change so quickly in two years. Biden got into office, and he is extreme in every way you could think of. And I’m a great believer in the capitalist system. I think capitalism built America, made us the strongest land in the world. That’s why people have come across the border … they want to have their own American dream.”

Glenn asks Marcus if he believes he could start Home Depot today.

He confidently says no, he doesn’t. The current administration seems to be conspiring to take down small businesses in every way, and they’ve made it nearly impossible to do what Marcus did so many years ago. This is why he started the Job Creators Network, to protect small businesses. They’re the backbone of America, and he won’t see them fail.

However, the Biden administration is doing a great job of making his goal of helping small businesses a hard one to reach. He says, “Democratic Congress, they want to pass laws that raise taxes. That’ll knock out half the Americans or half the small businesses in America. They’re not going to survive.”

He adds, “I mean, think about this, in America, you can’t find people who want to work.” Marcus laments that the American dream has started to fade, and it’s all on purpose.

Glenn agrees, saying, “So many people don’t understand. Don’t accept anything as a plan. They just think maybe this is incompetence. There’s too much that has happened for anybody’s batting average to be that bad unless it’s intentional and what they’re doing is resetting capitalism.”

He continues, “They’re directing us into this new system and destroying the value of our dollar to be able to reset into something that they’ll have more control over.”

Marcus agrees, saying this was done all on purpose. Inflation is through the roof and families can’t afford eggs. Cost of energy is rising. The administration won’t stop printing money that we don’t have. Banks are collapsing, and they now want to create a digital dollar.

It’s all been manufactured by the policies of Biden.

Marcus says ominously, “He wants to bring down this country … [and] he’s doing a hell of a good job of it.”

Home Depot founder stings Biden as 'worse than Jimmy Carter' as another inflation measurement hits a record high: 'This is a disgrace'



Home Depot founder Ken Langone tore into President Joe Biden this week over his mismanagement of the economy amid soaring inflation, emphatically calling the president "worse than Jimmy Carter."

Carter, the 39th president, is often cited as an unsuccessful Democratic president whose own inflationary crisis catapulted Republican President Ronald Reagan into the Oval Office.

Speaking with Fox News host Neil Cavuto on Wednesday, Langone decried the president's economic failures, specifically citing his refusal to acknowledge rising inflation as a lasting problem early in his presidency. Biden famously called inflation "transitory" last year.

"This was not transitory, this was a real, serious case of inflation," Langone charged. "We lost a whole year on addressing the issue. Only because, frankly, we have leadership today in America that isn't willing to admit when they're wrong. They made a terrible blunder here, and now the price has got to be paid."

The billionaire went on to suggest the only fix for the problem now is to tighten down the economy by raising interest rates.

He also slammed Biden's stance on American energy independence, saying, "The other thing is we’ve exacerbated the problem. For example, the energy issue in America, we didn’t have to be deficient like we are. Hell, by now, that pipeline would have been almost complete."

"And Biden’s now saying, he’s now blaming the oil companies. This is a disgrace," Langone continued. "The oil companies are reacting to supply and demand. You’re going to see it in their earnings when their earnings come out. If they’re making all this much money, where are they in the numbers? It’s wrong. It’s absolutely wrong,” he continued. “And nobody’s doing anything about it yet, in a way that going to address the issue."

"The steps we're taking right now will not help," he said, adding, "And who's going to get hurt? The little guy, the poor guy that's living from paycheck to paycheck."

Langone then predicted the brunt of a coming recession will likely hit sometime early next year, roughly nine or ten months from now.

Earlier this week, news broke that inflation hit a 40-year high in March, with consumer prices notching up 8.5% year over year.

But the numbers for producer prices were even worse, perhaps dispelling the notion that large businesses have been using the volatile economy to gouge consumers. The producer price index, which measures the prices paid by wholesalers, increased 11.2% from a year ago, CNBC reported.

What's worse, according to CNBC, is that the producer price index is considered a forward-looking inflation measurement, as it tracks prices in the pipeline for goods and services that eventually reach consumers.

When Cavuto asked Langone if he thinks the president is reaching Jimmy Carter territory, the billionaire entrepreneur responded bluntly: "Oh, he's worse than Jimmy Carter."
