Biden hadn’t been in office more than a couple of weeks when his pessimistic predictions began. “The virus is going to get worse before it gets better,” he said on Jan 21, 2021.  Sure enough, it did. One year later, he announced he would be sending out free virus testing kits and N29 respirator/ masks to all Americans.  They arrived here in our town around the 2^nd week in March, 2022. By then,  new cases had plummeted, so the costly distribution of  kits and masks were no longer needed.  Biden’s passive,  self fulfilling prophecies fail the American public.

On August 18, 2021  he stated that “chaos was inevitable in the withdrawal from Afghanistan.”  He surely was right about that. Especially when he pulled the plug so quickly that thousands of Afghans  and numerous American service men lost their lives. . Just a little bit of foresight, and a gradual withdrawal, would have made all the difference.

In February, 2022,  Biden said inflation was going to get worse.  He was right. It has.  He also predicted it would taper off soon.  It hasn’t.  Why would it, when so many people in America received stimulus checks they didn’t really need? And even for those who did need the money,  it paid them more to stay home than to go back to work.  Printing unearned money  can only be paid back in one way: inflation.

He also predicted Russia would invade Ukraine.  It did, especially after he showed his hand and promised that no US troops would ever be on the ground there. He continues to encourage the Russian aggression by assuring them there will never be a NATO supported  no fly zone over Ukraine.  Is that how you play poker?

On March 9, he predicted gas prices would rise.   They have. Like about 58%.  I guess he thinks that’s okay because after all “I told you so.”  That’s not good enough.  How about doing something to increase oil production here in the US. What about fossil fuels to the rescue? Why not wait until we’re back on our feet before pursuing “clean energy.”

Three days ago, on March 25, he announced , ‘there are going to be food shortages.”  Going to be?  Like, we don’t already have food shortages?  How many of you have tried to buy saltine crackers, canned soups, and hundreds of other items, only to be greeted with empty shelves?   But now, it’s apparently going to be OK, because Biden  gave us a heads up.  So how will consumers react to that last warning?  For those who can afford it, they will stock up on anything that will keep: flour coffee, meat, baby formula, just to name a few.  All of which will drive up demand and increase prices even more.

I don’t understand how the Biden Administration’s dire warnings are doing much of anything to solve  problems.  A pessimistic, passive approach is not what America needs right now.  We need a leader who not only foresees the problems , but figures out how to keep them from getting worse.
