Most of us are not fans of one person making authoritarian decisions like a President issuing Executive Orders (EOs) affecting all of us. It echoes the actions of a dictator or a king.
Since Congress is supposed to hold the taxpayer’s purse, then the Executive should not be able to take that purse and spend tax dollars any way he wants, right? That would be true if we followed the Constitution, even as flawed as it was. But, as we all know, the Constitution is about as good as covid era toilet paper.
And while Autopen Joe’s 167 EOs took the purse out of Congress’s hands to spend a lot more money that we do not have (36+ trillion dollars + interest of NATIONAL DEBT), President Trump’s 124 (and counting) EOs are saving us a lot of tax money, (67 EOs overturned Biden’s big spending EOs). So, in theory, President Trump is giving the purse back to Congress through his Executive Orders.
The same can be said of Barack Obama’s eight-year spending spree to increase dependency on the government.
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) cost Americans approximately 3.4 billion annually. Obama snatched that purse away from Congress and of course, Congress did nothing.
Ok, they did do something; they allowed unelected bureaucrats to tighten the noose around our necks.
When searching for the DACA EO under President Obama’s 2012 Executive Orders, it does not come up. DACA was not even an EO; it was a policy!
Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano created this policy on June 15, 2012 with an agency memorandum titled, “Exercising Prosecutorial Discretion with Respect to Individuals Who Came to the United States as Children.” A lot of discussion would come of the DACA policy, but none of the discussion included how much it cost taxpayers.
All children need to be protected and their innocence should pull at our heartstrings, but when the birthright citizenship of illegal aliens becomes cradle to grave dependency, as detailed in the affidavits for the plaintiffs in Doe v. Trump, we all should take notice because we are 36+ trillion dollars in debt and we simply cannot afford to redistribute the wealth anymore. Besides, redistributing the wealth has always been one of history’s biggest repeated FAILURES, every single time it has been attempted.
(Not to mention what dependency does for mind, body and spirit in an already spiritually vacuous society.)
Below is the list of Autopen Joe's January 2025 Executive Orders. Although the majority of Biden’s 2025 EOs were succession documents (but keep the federal government big), EOs like “Helping Left-Behind Communities Make a Comeback” are intended to redistribute the wealth that we no longer have.

Perhaps Autopen Joe is reflecting on how much money he squandered from the American taxpayers throughout his 53+ years in politics?
Or maybe he is just a big poser?
Too many fail to see the actual damage government does to recipients of welfare. Largess without controlling for laziness harms both the giver and receiver. And distributing other people's money lacks the discipline of pain infliction on one's self when distributing one's own money.
Biden and Obama represent the worst possibilities in American leadership.... Career politicians intent on subverting the Constitution to serve their interests. Biden was apparently born that way, a natural liar. Obama was a quick learner.
