Biden

The Biden administration has suffered from unforced errors from the start. Early on he dismantled Trumps immigration policies using executive orders saying I'm not making new law, I'm eliminating bad policy. Next he declared that he would end fossil fuel production. He signed the American Rescue Plan by sending $1.9 trillion to American families which included $1,400 to 90% of the people, added $300 federal money to unemployment compensation, increased the child tax credit to $3,600. He signed the $800 billion dollar Paycheck Protection Program which cost $200,000 per job saved. He signed the $1.2 trillion dollar Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. He passed the $1.85 trillion dollar Build Back Better plan. This massive spending led to inflation. Then in April he announced he would withdraw all troops from Afghanistan by 9-11 which would be the 20th anniversary of the War. This was done despite advice from his generals to leave 2,500 troops there and an additional 20,000 at Bagram Airfield. Instead Biden pulled out all the troops leaving behind the people and equipment. Biden planned to do a victory march on 9-11 but his withdrawal turned into a disaster. This was the start of Biden's decline in the approval polls going from 62% to the thirties where it stands today. Thus the big issues today are the border and the economy.
