Summary
A year ago, Joseph R. Biden took office as the 46th president of the United States — inheriting an economy weakened by the COVID-19 pandemic, but with effective vaccines to finally deal with it.

To mark Biden’s first year in office, we take stock of how the U.S. has performed under the new president. Here are some highlights:

The U.S. economy added 6.2 million jobs since January 2021, but not all of the jobs lost during the pandemic have returned.

Economic growth slowed in the third quarter, but economists estimate the economy grew by about 5% in 2021 — the fastest in decades.
A key measurement of illegal immigration rose dramatically. The number of apprehensions at the border with Mexico increased by 317% in Biden’s first 10 full months in office, compared with the same period in 2020.
Inflation came roaring back. During Biden’s first 11 months in office, the Consumer Price Index increased 6.8%. Gasoline prices jumped 39%.
Wages and inflation are both up. But real weekly wages, adjusted for inflation, declined 2.2% for production and nonsupervisory workers.
Corporate profits and stock prices hit new records.
The number of people without health insurance went down by about 500,000, according to a government survey.
The U.S. trade deficit, which grew larger under President Donald Trump, continued to increase. The gap grew 27.3% in Biden’s first 10 months.
The number of people receiving food stamp benefits declined by about 905,000, or 2.2%, after steep increases during the height of the pandemic.
The federal debt continues to rise, and annual deficits remained in the trillions.
Biden has kept pace with Trump’s first year in winning confirmation of federal appeals court judges, and exceeded his predecessor in District Court confirmations.
The U.S. image abroad has recovered. In 12 nations, many of which are key U.S. allies and partners, a median of 62% of foreigners said they held a positive view of the U.S. — up from a median of 34% in Trump’s final year.

the report says it all, o'biden didn't create ANY jobs. they haven't come back from the plandemic.

policies are killing jobs. you want some truth, better go check out heritage foundation. they won't lie and play cover up. we're bleeding jobs, not gaining much at all. i can think of hundreds of jobs cut in my area alone. with in the last two months.

Apparently, you can't read! Or perhaps you didn't live through the Trump pandemic economic disaster. Unemployment was at 25% after he shut the economy down. Remember????

Inflation just hit ANOTHER 40-year high of 9.1%, which is terrible for our Country. Fuel prices up 60%, Airfare up 34%, Eggs up 33%—how can people survive this? How can businesses survive this? Our Country is so weak right now because the Radical Left Democrats have no clue what they are doing. All they want to do is “get Trump,” and they are willing to destroy our Nation to do it. America will not allow this to go on for much longer. Don’t vote for the Radical Left Democrats, vote for America First Republicans—Save America!

If only the dead would share their vote with the GOP , spose there would be no point in the dead voting then . GOP should gerrymander the dead out , along with the brain dead to
