Biden has been in office almost three years so it is fair game to objectively review what his Presidency has or has not accomplished since he came into office in January 2021. It is not a pretty picture. His failures along many perspectives, including the economy, the Federal budget, immigration, foreign affairs, and personal behavior has been abysmal. Many failures, no victories or successes, as we documented in the following recent post:
https://loathemygovernment.blogspot.com/2023/11/the-failure-that-is-biden-presidency.html
But since that recent post, which documented almost 50 failures of the Biden administration, another set of 16 failures have been identified:
Economics
A recent NBC poll showed that only 19% of Americans believe their children have brighter economic prospects than themselves, the lowest levels since the poll started in 1990.
A New York Times poll shows only 2% of voters said that the economy under Biden is excellent.
A recent Wall Street Journal poll found that only 36% of Americans said the American dream still holds true, 50% said the country is worse off than it was 50 years ago, and 50% said the economic and political system is "stacked against people like me" while 39% disagreed that the system was stacked.
Only 38% of Americans approve of the way Biden is handling the economy.
Airline tickets are 13% lower than they were last year…but they are still 21% higher than they were when Biden took office.
Rental car rates are down 9.6% on average than they were last year…but they are still 55% higher than they were when Biden took office.
Egg prices are down 22% from last year…but are still 40% higher than they were when Biden took office.
Milk prices are down 16% from last year…but they are still 11% higher than they were when Biden took office.
Bacon prices are down 5.1% from last year…but they are still 24% higher than they were when Biden took office.
Used car and truck prices are down 7% from last year…but they are still 23% higher than they were when Biden took office.
Much like previous Presidents, Biden has made no effort to resolve the major fiscal problems facing the country including the impending bankruptcy of Social Security and Medicare and the reality that the Pentagon recently failed its sixth annual audit with auditors not able to accurately catalog and track an estimated $3.8 trillion of Pentagon assets.
Immigration
Cardoso Ferreira is an illegal immigrant from Brazil who was convicted of raping a 5 year old child in his home country but escaped justice only to be arrested in Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts.
According to Federal government immigration officials, over 46,000 illegal immigrants with criminal histories were arrested in 2022.
As a result of Biden’s failed immigration and border security policies, in 2022, 73,654 Americans died from a fentanyl overdose, more than double the amount of deaths from three years prior in 2019.
The flood of illegal immigrants into New York City has caused mayor Eric Adams to reduce the city budget for schools, sanitation, the police, and other city departments, with the police force being reduced from over 33,500 officers to 29,000, the lowest police staff size since the 1990s, about 30 years go.
Foreign Policy
The Hamas and Israel warfare has no diplomatic solution in sight and no American citizens being held hostage by Hamas have been released.
Besides getting nothing accomplished in a recent summit with Chinese president Xi, he made matters worse when in a summit press conference he referred to the Chinese president as a dictator, a major diplomatic no-no.
We almost forgot Biden's biggest and earliest foreign policy failure when he completely botched the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan, resulting in unnecessary American service personnel and Afghanistan citizen deaths and leaving behind untold billions of dollars of US military equipment that could be used by terrorists around the world.
Personal Freedom
Biden continues to use, and waste, the valuable resources of the Justice Department and FBI to harass and track innocent American citizens who are simply exercising their Constitutional rights, be it holding a pro-life abortion position, Second Amendment supporters, or Catholic churchgoers, while American cities are overrun with crime and violence (nationally, homicides are up 25% vs. 2019) but which get virtually no Justice Department or FBI support to combat the crime and violence.
Quite a record of failure. Between this post and the post referenced above, we have cited over 60 major failures of the Biden administration. A weak President, a weak Cabinet, no plans, no strategy, no energy, and no successes. The only person who should be happy about this dismal Presidency is Jimmy Carter who, until Biden came around, was generally recognized as the most ineffective President over the past 75 years, a title he probably gladly ceded to Biden.
Biden had an over 40 year, undistinguished history as a member of Congress with really no accomplishments over that time period. And he has extended that record of futility into the Presidency.
