Joe Biden has been in office for nearly 60 days. Here’s a short list of what most in the press are calling his “accomplishments”:
He has issued over 50 executive orders, more than any president in history for his time in office. The press often claimed Trump’s use of executive orders was “dictatorial.”
He has decided to keep Trump’s trade tariffs and has added to them. To quote the Journal Star concerning tariffs under Trump, “as destructive as trade wars and tariffs are, they’ve been used to great harm to Nebraska’s ag producers,” (“Editorial: Listen to Nebraskans on trade, immigration,” June 7) The Journal Star endorsed Biden, and now they’re Biden’s tariffs.
He has added $2 trillion to the national debt. That action puts every man woman and child in this country $6,000 deeper in debt, while giving only some of them $1,400 in exchange. He has spent nearly $100 billion alone transferring the debt of mismanaged private union pension funds to our public debt. That’s right, you’re now responsible for union debt.
He has destroyed our hard-won energy independence from despotic regimes around the world and has driven energy prices up dramatically.
He has created a humanitarian crisis on our rapidly collapsing southern border. He currently holds a record number of children in detention centers.
Through all of this he has not held a single press conference, yet most of press continues to cheerlead his actions. Remember when the press was the watchdog of the people, and not just the propaganda arm of the Democratic Party? Yeah, it’s been a while.
