President Biden shares one attribute with his political hero, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. 

 Unlike FDR, lunch-bucket Joe came from far more humble beginnings, if we are to believe his self-written biography. He is a kid from Scranton, Pa., whose family worked in the coal mines, an Irish Catholic from the wrong side of the street, a former lifeguard who hung out with the Black kids in his neighborhood.

But like FDR, Biden as president has become a traitor to his class. 

His family might have worked in the steel mills and the coal mines, but to Joe Biden and his elitist administration, goal one is to get rid of fossil fuels, especially coal mining. If there is one thing that the other famous Joe, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), understands, it is the precarious situation of the coal miners in West Virginia, which is one of the reasons he opposed the Build Back Better imbroglio. Manchin knows that Biden is a traitor to the coal mining class, and he has adjusted accordingly. 

The Biden administration's attitude to rising gas prices is akin to Marie Antoinette's attitude towards starving peasants in Revolutionary-era France. Instead of saying let them eat cake, That's not an exact quote, but the French Pete Buttigieg, the Transportation secretary, said let them drive Teslas. Queen was misquoted too, and look what happened to her. Just a thought.
