“If I Wanted America to Fail” criticizes the Obama administration’s business and energy policies and reveals how the Biden administration is continuing Obama’s policies taking America down the same path of destruction.

“If I Wanted America to Fail” a video criticizing the the Obama administration’s business and energy policies, was launched on April 20, 2012 and immediately went viral, getting more than two million page views during the 2012 American election season.

Americans For Limited Government (ALG), a non-partisan group, launched ‘If I wanted America to fail’, inspired by Paul Harvey’s essay, If I Were The Devil, slamming President Obama’s policies on issues, from housing to mining.

“If I Wanted America to Fail” summaries how the policies of the Obama administration, and it’s extension, the Biden administration are destroying America.

If I wanted America to fail. To follow, not lead, to suffer, not prosper, to despair, not dream . . .

I’d start with energy. I’d cut off America’s supply of cheap, abundant energy. I couldn’t take it by force. So I’d make Americans feel guilty about using the energy that heats their homes, fuels their cars, runs their businesses, and powers their economy. I make cheap energy expensive, so that expensive energy would seem cheap. I would empower unelected bureaucrats to all but outlaw America’s most abundant sources of energy, after banning its use in America. I’d make it illegal for American companies to ship it overseas.

If I wanted America to fail. I’d use their schools to teach one generation of Americans that their factories and their cars will cause a new ice age. And I muster a straight face so I could teach the next generation that they’re causing global warming. When it’s cold out, I call it climate change. Instead, I’d imply that America’s cities and factories could run wind power and wishes. I teach children how to ignore the hypocrisy of condemning logging, mining and farming while having roofs over their heads, heat in their homes and food on their tables. I would never teach children that the free market is the only force in human history to uplift the poor, establish the middle class and create lasting prosperity. Instead, I demonize prosperity itself, so that they will not miss what they won’t never have.

If I wanted America to fail, I would create countless new regulations and seldom cancel old ones. That would be so complicated that only bureaucrats, lawyers, and lobbyists could understand them. That way. Small businesses with big ideas wouldn’t stand a chance, and I would never have to worry about another Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, or Steve Jobs.

I would ridicule as flat earthers those who urge them to lower energy costs by increasing supply. And when the evangelists of common sense try to remind people about the laws of supply and demand, I’d inlist the sympathetic media to drown them out.

If I wanted America to fail, I would empower unaccountable bureaucracy, seated in a distant Capitol, to bully Americans out of their dreams and their property rights.

I sent federal agents to raid guitar factories for using the wrong kind of wood. I’d force homeowners to tear down their own homes, built on their own land. I’d make it almost impossible for farmers to farm, miners to mine, loggers to log and builders to build. Because I don’t believe in free markets, I’d invent false ones. I devise fictitious products like carbon credits and trade them in imaginary markets. I convince people that this would create jobs and be good for the economy.

If I wanted America to fail, for every concern I’d invent a crisis, and for every crisis, I’d invent the cause, like shutting down entire industries and killing tens of thousands of jobs in the name of saving spotted owls. And when everyone learned the stunning irony that owls were victims of their larger cousins and not people, it would already be decades too late.

If I wanted America to fail, I’d make it easier to stop commerce than to start it. Easier to kill jobs than create them. More fashionable to resent success than to seek it. When industries seek to create jobs and file lawsuits to stop them, And then I’d make taxpayers pay for my lawyers.

If I wanted America to say I would transform the environmental agenda from a document of conservation to an economic suicide pact. I would concede entire industries to our economic rivals by imposing regulations that cost you trillions. I would celebrate those who preach environmental austerity in public, while indulging that lavish lifestyle in private. I convince Americans that Europe has it right and that America has it wrong.

If I wanted America to fail, I would prey on the goodness and the decency of ordinary Americans. I would only need to convince them that all of this is for the greater good.

If I wanted America to fail, I. I suppose I wouldn’t change a thing.

Americans for Limited Government is dedicated to fighting for the survival of America by restoring constitutionally limited government, allowing individuals to pursue life, liberty and happiness. Regarding the video, ALG stated:

“The Obama Administration’s record of environmental radicalism slowing down the American economy exposed in our ‘If I wanted America to fail’ video continues to resonate with a broad swath of the American public,” said Bill Wilson, president of ALG in a statement. “It is little wonder, as Obama’s EPA and other agencies pursue a conscious policy of making electricity and gasoline more expensive, so that solar, wind, and battery alternatives will seem cheap.”

“Do these regulators and Obama want America to fail? It is hard to say, but they do want to make it even more expensive to do business here in America — a problem that is already driving capital and jobs overseas. Even leaving the science aside, our standing of the world’s economic superpower is endangered by these regulations. For that reason alone, these policies must be defeated — before we really do fail as a nation.”
