Biden Pitches Manufacturing Boom on Southwest Tour

Biden signals support to compensate downwinders

BELEN — President Joe Biden expressed support Wednesday for extending federal radiation exposure compensation to New Mexicans who suffered adverse health effects because of fallout from nuclear testing.

“I’m prepared to help in terms of making sure that those folks are taken care of,” the president said after U.S. Sen. Ben Ray Luján, in his speech before Biden’s, made a push for compensation for the so-called downwinders, or people who were affected by nuclear fallout from the Trinity test.

The New Mexicans in the Tularosa area who were affected by the first atomic bomb test in 1945 — many of them say they suffer from cancers generations later — have so far not been eligible for federal compensation.

President Biden on Wednesday entered a wind tower manufacturing plant surrounded by desert boasting of declining unemployment, waning inflation and a manufacturing boom — all metrics that should make his three-state Southwest tour a victory lap.

“Our plan is working,” Mr. Biden said, referring to his economic agenda. “When I think climate, I think jobs.”

Yet more BullShit....manufacturing has been in decline for over 2 years:

US ISM Manufacturing PMI is at a current level of 46.40, up from 46.00 last month and down from 52.80 one year ago. This is a change of 0.87% from last month and -12.12% from one year ago.

The Purchasing Managers Index is a diffusion index summarizing economic activity in the manufacturing sector in the US. The index is based on a survey of manufacturing supply executives conducted by the Institute of Supply Management. Participants are asked to gauge activity in a number of categories like new orders, inventories, and production and these sub-indices are then combined to create the PMI. A PMI above 50 would designates an overall expansion of the manufacturing economy whereas a PMI below 50 signifies a shrinking of the manufacturing economy.
