Letter to the Editor: Joe Biden’s Failed Policies
Published at 1:43 p.m. on Tuesday January 23, 2024
For the editor:
Weak on the world stage, starting with its failed withdrawal from Afghanistan. He left 9,000 Americans and billions of weapons there.
Two wars started during his term while Trump had none.
Terrible inflation over the last two years, 8.7% and 3.4% giving us 12.1%. The average household grocery bill alone increased by $1,000. (Eggs were up 230% at one point and gas prices are still up 35%). Food is up 33%, housing is up 19% and energy is up 33%.
High interest rates with mortgages reaching 7.8%. People can’t afford to buy a house and are living on credit cards. (Exceeded over $1 trillion in credit card debt.)
Infant formula crisis.
A horrific border crisis that more than 4.7 million illegal migrants have crossed. Biden lied to us about border patrols whipping migrants.
Allowed a Chinese spy balloon to cross the entire country.
Trying to do away with our gas stoves and forcing electric vehicles on the public. Sales are down and automakers are losing billions. He agreed to spend $7.5 billion on charging stations, but none have been built in two years.
The Biden family is corrupt and has taken millions overseas since Biden’s time as vice president. Joe knew and also knew that his son Hunter was defying a congressional subpoena.
