While it may contradict his promise to not raise taxes, Biden's inflation is a significant hidden tax on American's, especially poor and middle class.
Black lives matter - I support the words but cannot support the organization because it propagates the false narrative that systemic racism is the primary cause of the disparities(murders, incarceration, teen mothers, fatherless households, income, wealth, etc.) between blacks and whites.
Racism exists (though not widespread), it’s bad, and we should continue to work to reduce it. Excess police force exists (though rare), it's bad and we should continue to work to reduce it.
BLM organization’s positions and policies do not address the problems (murders, fatherless households, teen pregnancy, lack of agency) and do not address the key root causes (it’s not excessive police force or systemic racism.)

How can almost 1/2 of America believe this person?
Rep. (D-N.Y.) Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez BA Economics, member of Democratic Socialists of America:“Capitalism not a redeemable system.”
But, Capitalism/Free Markets are the most efficient way to allocate limited resources to meet unlimited demands. Socialism doesn’t work
Milton Friedman, PhD Economics, Nobel Prize Economics: “Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself. A society that puts equality before freedom will get neither. A society that puts freedom before equality will get a high degree of both.”
Friedrich Hayek, PhD Economics, Nobel Prize Economics: “A claim for equality of material position can be met only by a government with totalitarian powers.”
Adam Smith, Father of Economics/Capitalism: “In general, if any branch of trade, or any division of labour, be advantageous to the public, the freer and more general the competition, it will always be the more so.”
People still aren't working
Biden's claims are meaningless and intellectually dishonest as his job creation comes after a shutdown when you'd expect record growth AND his jobs creation post pandemic are still just a fraction of Trumps job creation post pandemic as meaningless as this comparison is.

Biden claims he has had record GDP growth. That is only true if you look at it from an intellectually dishonest context.
Biden's first months in office are following the pandemic shutdown, one of the largest economic drops in US history, and one where you would expect larger than average growth. This is illustrated if you compare Trump after shutdown with Biden after shutdown. This comparison shows that growth under Trump was dramatically higher than growth under Biden.
I'm not claiming growth under Trump reflects anything more than what might be expected after the large downturn.
I'm just claiming that I am tired of the intellectual dishonesty of the Biden administration's braggadocious claims when, in fact, they are nothing special.
According to CDC data (Death data through Novermber 2021, vaccination data through January 22, 2022, hospitalization data through January 25,2022):
Covid is still, by far, the greatest risk to people 65 and older;
Vaccines are very effective in preventing death;
Boosters improve vaccine efficacy in preventing death and this is even more so for the high risk age group 65 and over;
The US was highly vaccinated, especially throughout the higher risk (age) groups;
There is a significant lag in US death data and as a result the affect of the omicron variant on these results is still not available; and,
It appears that current hospitalization, which does include the omicron effect, has peaked and it is expected that deaths will correspondingly start to drop in a week or two.
Biden’s policies are a mess AND put many innocents at risk and allow Mexican cartels to get rich.
I support immigration. A lot of immigration. But legal immigration, with a mix of merit based (engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs, doctors, mathematicians, etc.) and opportunity-based (poor people who want to work hard, adopt American values, and get ahead).
(Note-The numbers are the apprehensions. We do not know how many people get through without being apprehended)
US President Joe Biden told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the US will not aid any Israeli counterattack on Iran , US media report,...
