Similar to today’s gloomy headlines about the Consumer Price Index jumping 6.2% over the past year – its highest point in 30 years – and reports that a record 4.4 million Americans quit their jobs in September, it’s just a sliver of the entire story.
Due to supply chain disruptions, unconstitutional vaccine mandates and the fear of prolonged hyperinflation, Americans are being told to lower expectations for the future. The radicals on the left who are hellbent on bringing socialism to our shores want us to just get used to the bumpy transition to Marxism-Leninism.
In addition to our anemic economy and the return of a debilitating culture of government dependency, our streets are far less safe, our heroic police are less respected, our border is wide open for any violent criminal or deadly drug runner seeking entry, entitlement programs are on the brink of insolvency, Americans are stranded in Afghanistan, and instead of addressing these problems, Joe Biden doesn’t seem the least bit concerned.
Indeed, President Biden is threatening to raise taxes, dramatically increase wasteful spending, expand the welfare state, fire doctors, nurses, police officers and firefighters who refuse the vaccine, pay illegal immigrants hundreds of thousands of dollars for breaking the law, and make America dependent on foreign energy again.
This is the Biden misery index and it makes the Carter years feel like the good old days.
