Biden's Long Record Of Failure

Only rarely has the first year of a presidency been as characterized by failure as has Biden's. Only the administrations of Andrew Johnson, Warren Harding, and John F Kennedy (Bay of Pigs) have seen as much failure in their first year as has Joe Biden.

Domestically, inflation, illegal immigration, crime, and COVID have consumed his opening year. Only an emergency stimulus package — largely crafted by the Trump Administration — and an infrastructure measure — rescued from oblivion by nineteen Republican Senators — have survived to make it into the history books. Despite control of both houses, Biden has failed to pass:

• Voting rights

• Climate change

• Competition for prescription drugs

• Capital gains tax changes

• Trans-gender sports

• CRT instruction in schools

• The Build Back Better program

• Raising the minimum wage

• Expanding Obamacare

• The PRO program on unionization

• Filibuster reform

• Ending Remain in Mexico

• Supreme Court reform

• Expanding the child tax credit

• Amnesty for DACAs

• Diverting Police Funding

• Bail reform

• Repeal of federal minimum sentencing

• Ending catch and release at the border

• Packing the National Labor Relations Board

• Packing the Federal Elections Commission

• Expanding Medicare

• Expanding gun control

• Extension of Higher Unemployment Benefits

• Expanding IRS Access to bank account data

Beyond this graveyard of hopes, fantasies, and dreams lies his failures in foreign affairs.

From his botched withdrawal from Afghanistan to his failure to contain Iran's nuclear ambitions to his current ineffectiveness in deterring Moscow and Beijing from invading Ukraine and Taiwan, to his begging OPEC and Russia to raise fossil fuel production, to his opening up the floodgates for aid to the Palestinians, his foreign record has been as dismally unsuccessful as his domestic output

What a catalogue of failure and incompetence, a record about to be capped by massive reversals in the 2022 elections.
