July 29, 2022, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today issued the following statement in response to President Joe Biden’s July 28 statement, “Statement by President Biden on Second Quarter GDP Report,” that “we will come through this transition stronger and more secure”:
“President Biden is trying to cast the current recession as little more than a ‘transition’ as if this word makes it better in some way. Thesaurus.com has some handy synonyms for the White House’s new favorite word, transition. Transformation is one – as in fundamental transformation. Upheaval, turning point, evolution, conversion, changeover are all other synonyms. So when you hear the left using transition to describe the economic results and pain of their policies, feel free to insert any of the above synonyms to really hear what they mean.
“Of course, when I, and anyone familiar with what the ‘Big Guy’ is up to think of Joe Biden, another ‘trans’ word comes to mind – ‘transactional.’ I’m sure they don’t want you to hear that when they attempt to gloss over the deliberate destruction of the United States economy as a ‘transition.’”
