All the blame for the high gas prices, the high groceries, the high insurance, open borders and the wars in Europe and the Middle East can be placed directly on Joe Biden.
Joe Biden took an oath as president of the United States to uphold the laws and Constitution of the United States. He has done neither. Joe Biden does not need Congress to change anything, which he proved his first day in office by signing 90-plus executive orders. The first day in office, Joe Biden reversed, by executive order, all the border control policies put in place by the Trump administration, policies that were working. Since the Biden executive order, we have had an invasion of 10 million illegal immigrants into the United States. U.S. taxpayers foot the bill for their transportation, housing, food, medical care, education, cellphones, debit cards, and the list goes on. This is all at the expense of our homeless population and veterans.
The same day, the Keystone pipeline was canceled, and restrictions were put on drilling for oil and natural gas in this country through Joe Biden’s executive orders. This enabled our enemies — Russia, Iran and Venezuela — to be enriched by selling oil to the U.S., plus all throughout the world. This money financed the wars in Ukraine and Israel.
When gas goes up, transportation costs go up. This increases the price of every good and service that is transported by truck, rail or plane. This, plus the trillions of dollars Biden has spent on COVID-19 and the infrastructure bill (which is nothing but a climate change bill), has fueled inflation and added to the national debt dramatically.
Car and home insurance is going up because the price of every part and piece of wood has skyrocketed. Electric vehicles that are being pushed down our throats cost more to make, thus to sell. The batteries and rare earth metals to make them come from China. The rare earth metals are mined by children. Electric vehicles are heavier vehicles, thus more damage is done in a crash. Batteries cost $15,000 to replace, and the tires are more expensive. Plus, it takes hundreds of gallons of water to put out fires in those cars. And they’re more expensive to tow for this reason.
As far as the pandemic lockdowns are concerned, if you look at Florida and many other red states, they were open within six months, and children were back to school, with no higher rates of infection than New York or California. And you saw what happened to Gov. Andrew Cuomo in New York.
Interest rates on mortgages, cars and credit cards have skyrocketed because of the Biden spending, causing inflation and the rates to go up. Sixty percent of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and are putting necessities on credit cards.
Joe Biden is totally to blame for all the problems in the United States, both monetarily and securitywise. The head of the FBI just testified before Congress that the U.S. is at the highest terror threat ever. This was also on the front page of USA Today on April 2, which also reported that ISIS-K is targeting the U.S.
Joe Biden could stop or control all these problems with a stroke of a pen, but he will not because he is pandering to his base of support to get reelected.
Joe Biden puts himself over country, which is painfully evident by the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into the Biden family business and the money given to the Bidens by China, Russia, Ukraine, and the list goes on.
Joe Biden’s administration has been a wrecking ball to the United States of America.
