Has Anyone Fared Better Financially With Democrats in Charge?

Many Democrats are gleeful that Joe Biden was able to deliver a State of the Union presentation, perhaps because he didn’t keel over. Biden is now approaching 38 months in the White House and his administration, dominated by the far Left, has fundamentally, negatively changed America at a frightening pace.

Battering the Middle Class

Has anyone benefitted from Biden and the company in charge? It would be hard to find many who say yes. Inflation has racked the U.S. The annual rate of inflation might be down a bit from 2021 or 2022 but added to what has already transpired, prices are notably higher everywhere. 

Joe Biden, who virtually never walks through a supermarket, has no clue about managing the economy. Neither does Kamala Harris, Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen, Jared Bernstein, Tyler Goodspeed, Lael Brainard, Joelle Gamble, or any other of the Biden administration economic elites.

In his mental stupor, Biden proclaimed that the economy is doing great, inflation is subsiding, and good times are ahead. Only MAGA Republicans concern him. Karine Jean-Pierre, Biden’s spokesperson, will say that inflation is dropping, the economy is strong, and most Americans agree that Biden is doing a good job. Yeah, right.

The typical working-class family is not better off financially since Biden has occupied the White House. If anything, they are much worse. As our nation's debt has roared past $34 trillion, families are in debt as well. Average credit card debt has climbed since Biden took office. Savings are down. People's confidence in the economy is shattered. 

Border Disorder

One cannot ignore the impact of Biden's lax border policy. With seven to possibly nine million illegals having already flooded our gates, and another four to six million predicted to do so by the end of 2024, the impact on every American citizen, in every county, if it hasn't already occurred, will become evident.

Having hordes of people being handed all kinds of benefits the moment they step over our border has a distinctly negative impact on our nation's wealth and our economic prospects. Images of Feds removing Texas barbed wire enhance our understanding of what citizens already know: Biden is openly against them.

When border state governors bus illegals to sanctuary cities, those sanctuary city mayors inevitably cry out about the “injustice.” Do they blame Biden, however? No, they blame the governors doing the bussing. Let them stand in those governors’ shoes for even a few minutes. Meanwhile, city budgets are bursting. Schools are overcrowded in many districts. Hospitals sometimes cannot handle the array of new patients, nearly all of whom will never pay a dime despite needing extensive attention.

Bursting Budgets, Drained Reserves

Now add in the multi-billions of dollars that the Biden administration is funneling to the corrupt regime in Ukraine to fight a hopeless war against Russia, a nation with at least four times the military might and capability of its former satellite. 

Then add multibillions more that the Biden administration is shuffling to regimes around the world via the stiff fees that we need to pay for energy – since Biden made us an energy-dependent country once again – and you have the prescription for complete and utter financial disaster. 

The Biden administration had already drained U.S. energy reserves at an alarming rate. Those reserves were needed for domestic, military, and emergency requirements. If anything out of the ordinary should occur, we are in peril.

What Could Go Wrong?

At the border, among the hordes, tens of thousands of military-age men have streamed over and, unvetted, are scattered around the nation. Alejandro Mayorkas at the Department of Homeland Security, who embodies the perfect blend of ignorance and arrogance, has no idea who is in our country. Meanwhile, he exhibits defiance in the face of impending impeachment. 

Mayorkas is an evil man, on par with Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, George Soros, Alex Soros, Reid Hoffman, and all those who want to weaken our country as rapidly as possible. 

The number of deluded people who think that Biden is doing a good job is dwindling each day. In a society with free and fair elections, Biden would lose the 2024 election in a landslide, a la Ronald Reagan versus Walter Mondale. With Leftists in charge, count on massive cheating in November to make the 2020 cheating look like child's play. 

Now for the Answer

The short answer to the question, “Is anyone benefitting with Leftists in charge?” is yes, a minuscule percentage of Leftist elites. No one else.
