I know, I tell my little kids all the time, it's frustrating when your opponents take your own very tactics and spit them right back into your face at a later date, but what's good for the goose...

Is illegal immigration skyrocketing worldwide?

I've said 100 times, it's nowhere near true to say this is all Biden's fault. But it's all his problem.
Excess death rates from COVID were 153% higher among Republicans than Democrats in Florida and Ohio AFTER THE VACCINE WAS READILY AVAILABLE. Republicans literally killed off tens of thousands of their own voters to “own the libs.”

The ones that are left are claiming to be victimized by Biden.

There are now 100 million forcibly displaced people around the world—more than at any time in modern history. These are people who have fled extreme dangers, whether to escape relentless bombing, an invading army, gang violence, or other life-threatening circumstances.

It's amazing how the U.S., and only the U.S., is dealing with inflation right now.

No other country. Just us. The rest of the world is not struggling with this same thing.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

But the U.S. is hardly the only place where people are experiencing inflationary whiplash. A Pew Research Center analysis of data from 44 advanced economies finds that, in nearly all of them, consumer prices have risen substantially since pre-pandemic times.

It's not only a US problem. Nobody is denying that.

However, the last 2 administrations pumped trillions and trillions of dollars into the economy. I don't know how much you know about the effects of supply and demand on the value of goods. But chapter 1 of every economics text ever published, says that if you drastically increase the supply of something, the value of that something is going to decrease.

Biden caused some of this with his spending. So did Trump, Obama, and Bush. But only 1 of them is the president now, and when Biden campaigned, he specifically promised not top blame others for his results, and Americans see he lied on that promise, because he's blaming everyone but himself.

Bush didn't cause the subprime mortgage crisis, but it happened on his watch, and the left gleefully pinned it on him for political benefit.

Now it's the democrats turn to catch heat for what happened on their watch.
