In March 2021, I wrote an article reporting on some of the actions Biden was initiating that would be harmful to America. Let\u2019s update his actions as of November 2022 and see how things stand after almost two years of his administration. I write this on Halloween night, but it is scarier than ghosts and goblins.<\/p>\n
The Border<\/span><\/strong>: We no longer have a Southern border. Well over 5 million illegals have been welcomed across the border in less than two years. Illegal drugs are coming in unchecked, including fentanyl which has killed close to 100,000 Americans in the last year. Estimates are that illegals will cost each tax payer $2,600\/year.<\/p>\n Inflation<\/span><\/strong>: The prices of consumer goods are rising dramatically; especially on essential items. Inflation under President Trump was about 2 %. Now at a forty year high of 8.6% and much higher for food.<\/p>\n Energy<\/span><\/strong>: On Election Day 2020, the price of a gallon of gas was $ 1.87, it now averages $3.49 and much higher in some areas. We have gone from energy abundance\/independence to energy shortages. Recent report shows that there is only sufficient diesel oil for 25 days to meet our usual consumption. Home heating oil, commonly used in the northern states, has gone from $1.45 to $5.72 per gallon. The cost of electricity has gone up 16% in the last year and is expected to go higher. Energy is costing the average family $6,200 more per year. Biden\u2019s depleting our strategic oil reserves and selling this oil to China is treasonous.<\/p>\n Personal Wealth<\/span><\/strong>: The stock market is down about 30 % and inflation reduces the value of bank accounts by about 10% per year. People on fixed income are especially hard hit. We are getting poorer.<\/p>\n Cost of Housing<\/span><\/strong>: Mortgage rates have gone from less than 3% to 7%. A $300,000 house will cost $878 more per month, $10,536 more per year and a whopping $316,000 more over the life of a 30 year loan. Rents are going up similarly.<\/p>\n Unconstitutional Spending<\/span><\/strong>: You will be paying off the loans of college students estimated to cost over $300 billion dollars over the next ten years and will continue going higher; even though you may have paid your own way through college or not gone to college at all. Presidents have no authority to do this.<\/p>\n Second Amendment<\/span><\/strong>: The Biden administration is requiring all credit card companies to report all sales of firearms and ammunition to the Federal government thereby tracking your purchases.<\/p>\n IRS\/FBI<\/span><\/strong>: These agencies are now enforcement arms of the Biden administration. Hiring 87,000 armed IRS agents is aimed directly at the middle class and small business owners.<\/p>\n Crime<\/span><\/strong>: Has been increasing dramatically, especially in urban areas, as a direct result of defunding the police and liberal prisoner release policies.<\/p>\n International Relations<\/span><\/strong>: War in Ukraine, North Korea firing missiles, conflicts with Saudi Arabia, China emboldened and threatening Taiwan, are all examples of deteriorating relations with other countries.<\/p>\n No doubt there are other destructive actions by Biden and the radical Democrats. No rational person can look at where America is now and say we are better off after the last two years. YOU MUST GET OUT AND VOTE, if you love this country.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Author: R.
