OPINION:
We are on a runaway path toward a failed economy. Here are some of the reasons:
The Biden administration is on a $7-trillion spending spree, and will soon raise our national debt to $30 trillion (it is already at $28.3 trillion). There is no way we can sustain that.
Many governors and state leaders are still dragging their feet on reopening businesses and schools, and are placing unnecessary burdens on both. Some formerly good businesses have already been lost forever.
Where jobs are open, businesses are having trouble hiring people. Many people do not want to work; they are conditioned by the federal and some state governments into thinking they will get government money/free stuff if they don’t.
The Colonial Pipeline, carrying half of the East Coast’s gasoline, has been cyberattacked and shut down. Gasoline cost, already on its way up, will keep increasing significantly, and will even cause shortages. It is very disturbing that the government still does not know how the attack was done.
We are beginning to enter a period of inflation; the cost of everything will increase — slowly at first, then significantly.
Other nations, friend and foe alike, are beginning to test the weakness of the Biden administration. This includes China, which becomes more aggressive every day. Our debt is becoming so massive, it will hinder our ability to respond.
Israel is now under attack, with terrorist rockets being fired into civilian Israeli populations. Progressives in the United States favor “Palestine” and Hamas, not our ally, Israel.
Our southern border is being overrun. Leftists refuse to accept that compassion and controlled/legal immigration can coexist, yet many of our parents and grandparents came to America this way. By allowing anarchy at our border, the government is also allowing an immense burden to sit on our economy. This is a threat to the safety, security and health of our citizens.
There will be more. Get ready.
