Previous analyses of “by the numbers” can be accessed by entering the phrase in the search box above. This is the third and final post this month where we look at the numbers to truly find out how good, not likely, or bad, most likely, the American political class is doing in managing our tax dollars, protecting our freedoms, and resolving major issues that affect all of us.
1) Well over 5 million illegal immigrants have come into the country since Biden became President. Along with ordinary people just looking for a better life, there were drug cartel, human trafficking, criminals, and terrorist elements also coming over the border, This has resulted in higher and higher crime across the country and higher and higher drug addiction deaths as the country is flooded with ever increasing tonnage of illegal drugs coming into the country.
All of this is an affront to law abiding and tax paying Americans. On top of this, the Biden administration has added the following insult to American citizens:
- The Biden administration has handed out, for free, over 255,000 free smartphones to illegal immigrants, people that are breaking our country's laws.
- This is costing the Federal government about $89.5 million a year.
- This means that the Federal government is spending almost $250,000 a DAY to support this smartphone giveaway to illegal immigrants.
- Biden administration spokespeople have said that the number of phones and the resulting cost is likely to increase as more and more illegal immigrants enter the country.
Talk about bad priorities. We have spoken often that at any time in this country there are 500,000 - 600,000 homeless Americans. We have also discussed the national average cost of feeding a homeless American was about $2.90.
If we divide the $2.90 into the $89.5 million being spent on free smartphones for illegal immigrants, we see that this $89.5 million could provide American homeless folks about 30,000,000 legitimate meals. This could give each of those homeless Americans 50 - 60 meals.
Another example where American politicians care more about illegal
immigrants than they do about needy Americans. Insanity.
2) How badly has the Biden administration handled the economy? Consider the following numbers:
- Year over year inflation every month is at about a 40 year high, over 8% on a year over year basis..
- Mortgage rates are at about 20 year high.
- The labor force participation rate has stalled at about 62%, still lagging the rate in the Trump administration the month before covid really took hold (63.4%.)
- The monthly month over month change in jobs generated over the past year has been strongly trending downwards.
- Since Biden took over, the growth in hourly wages for American workers has never been higher than the inflation rate in any month.
- Food prices are up about 11% vs. the same time last year.
- Rental housing prices are up 6.7% vs. the same time last year.
Food prices up, gas prices up, mortgage prices up, rental prices up, and wages losing ground on overall inflation. Does not seem Biden could be any more economically incompetent if he tried. The numbers do not lie.
3)The upper management of the FBI now appears to have actively worked towards undercutting the Trump Presidency or even getting him removed from office. The examples of their misbehavior is too long to go into here.
However, from a number perspective, there is a new number that has been discovered relative to the FBI's plan to sabotage Trump. The so-called Steele Dossier was supposed to contain a bunch of negative Trump stories and incidents that were meant to embarrass Trump and possibly get him out of office. The dossier was used to illegally get permission to spy on Americans associated with Trump and was planted in the media to help embarrass Trump.
The problem is we now know that everything in the dossier was fiction. However, the FBI has already leaked the dossier's contents to the media, used it in court proceedings, and needed to cover its tracks. As a result, it offered a reward of $1,000,000 if anyone could provide verification that anything in the dossier was true, something they probably should have done before running with it.
Since nothing in the dossier was true, no one could provide verifiable proof that any part of it was true. But think about the reality: the FBI was trying to embarrass and unseat a President, they had been given a dossier with untrue stories about Trump, they had intentionally leaked the contents of the dossier before checking out the truth, and then wanted to use $1,000,000 of taxpayer money to cover up their incompetence.
Enough numbers today: illegal immigrants get smartphones while unfortunate Americans go hungry, Biden has no economic savvy at all, and the FBI screws up and tries to spend $1,000,000 to cover their mistake. The numbers do not lie.
