There never was a Lunch Bucket Joe: Biden kills jobs

C'mon, you know the thing. "Lunch Bucket Joe," the blue collar guy from Scranton, Pennsylvania. Except Joe Biden hasn't lived in Pennsylavnia in seven decades he never was a blue collar person. 

Sleepy Joe is killing good blue collar jobs. 

From the New York Post:

Further dashing hopes that he’d govern as any kind of moderate, President Biden on Wednesday announced plans for what amounts to the Green New Deal by another name, at a cost of roughly $2 trillion and millions of jobs. 

The left pretends its dreams will boost employment, but the reality is already on display. Biden’s Day One canceling of the Keystone XL pipeline put thousands out of work immediately; longer-term, it aborted some 11,000 jobs, mostly for union workers.

Also in his first day, the new prez ordered a 60-day suspension of new drilling permits for US lands and water, supposedly to allow for review of the impact. 

But on Wednesday he made much of that ban permanent, so plainly the science doesn’t really matter. Then again, science isn’t mattering a lot to Joe: In the absence of Keystone, Canada will still export its oil — transporting it by less-environmentally friendly rail. What’s green about that?
