Letter to the editor: Biden's year of bad decisions

President Biden stopped construction on the Mexico border wall the day after he became president. Fentanyl deaths have increased, and nearly doubled in the past two years for people ages 18-45. Drugs, covid, criminals — everything is coming over our borders now.

In the spring of 2021, Biden passed the $2 trillion rescue plan. Economists said that flooding the economy with too much money will cause inflation. Looks like they were right.

In April 2021, Biden restored funding to the Palestinians that had been cut off by the previous administration. A month later, the Palestinians fired a barrage of rockets into Israel. Gee, I wonder what they spent the money on.

Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan was a disaster. He removed the soldiers first, which got people killed, and he left billions of dollars worth of military equipment in Afghanistan, paid for by American taxpayers.

He implemented environmental policies such as canceling oil and gas drilling permits in Alaska, Texas and other states. It has lowered our domestic production of oil and gas, thereby increasing what we pay at the pump.

Biden waived sanctions on Russia’s Nord Stream 2 oil pipeline. Opponents said it would give Putin too much power over Germany and Europe because the Kremlin will control such a substantial oil supply. Apparently, they were right. To top it all off, Biden was importing oil from Russia.

It’s hard to believe that one person could make so many bad decisions in one year. When Biden became president, if he would have done nothing at all, we would be better off.
