Failure of ‘Bidenomics’ is Rankling Americans
- Polls show Americans reject President Biden’s handling of the economy, and it’s not hard to see why. By just about any metric, people are worse off today than they were when Mr. Biden took office. Survey after survey shows voters voicing their dissatisfaction, but the Biden administration remains defiant.
- Early this month, The New York Times released a poll finding that former President Donald Trump is thoroughly beating Mr. Biden, including in key swing states. According to the poll, if the next presidential election were held today, Mr. Trump would win with over 300 electoral votes.
- Under Mr. Biden, people are demonstrably worse off, and the Biden administration’s own figures on inflation, jobs and falling household incomes prove it. Yet instead of acknowledging reality, the administration makes excuses while its media sycophants try and fail to gaslight Americans.

H.R. 2 Is the Only Solution to Securing the Border
- President Biden’s border chaos is a national security nightmare, putting all Americans at risk.
- Since Biden took office, over 7.9 million inadmissible aliens have entered the U.S. through our borders, and an additional 1.7 million illegal aliens ‘got away’ or evaded the U.S. Border Patrol.
- Republicans in Congress united behind the Secure the Border Act, H.R. 2, to force an unwilling administration to accept and implement the minimum required to secure the border. In June, all present Senate Republicans except one voted for H.R. 2, but now, a group of senators is undermining Republican unity and effective policy solutions by negotiating with Democrats who support open border policy.
- The proposal coming out of these ‘negotiations’ will likely be used as leverage to advance President Biden’s request for $106 billion in fiscally irresponsible spending, including an additional $60 billion for Ukraine that fails to meet conservative standards and $13.6 billion for fake ‘border security’ that would accelerate Biden’s open border operations.
- Conservatives in both chambers of Congress should unite behind aggressive purse-string control by requiring inclusion of H.R. 2 in its entirety as part of any spending agreement.
- Congress cannot continue to fund the flood of illegal aliens—including potential terrorists—that the Biden administration is ushering into America every day.
