Inflation, Immigration Most ‘Urgent Issues’ for Americans

While Democratic leadership is focused on labeling parents as domestic terrorists, mandating COVID-19 vaccinations and creating a politically correct environment where individuals can choose their own pronouns and gender, Americans have different priorities.

According to the latest Quinnipiac poll where Americans were asked to choose the most urgent issues that face the country currently, inflation and immigration topped the list. Americans are worried about the rising prices of everything needing to provide for their families, placing inflation at the top of the list at 27 percent.

Immigration came in second highest at 12 percent. COVID-19 was third at 10 percent. Concerns about unemployment came in at just 2 percent. National Review found the poll to be very accurate, citing similar findings from a CNN poll, writing “this is not an outlier.”

A recent CNN poll found 42 percent of Americans believe inflation is the most important issue, with “ensuring that our borders are secure” coming in second at 29 percent. Pathetically, President Biden, his administration, and Democratic leadership are avoiding pressing matters while continuing to push things such as Biden’s Infrastructure bill.

On Thursday Biden is going to Ohio to “deliver remarks on how the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law delivers for the American people by investing in clean-up and restoration efforts in the Great Lakes region and surrounding waterways.”

Cleaning up waterways. That is what is getting the President of the United States out of bed in the morning? In an interview with NBC News’ Lester Holt who asked about inflation skyrocketing to 7.5 percent, a 40-year high, Biden was defensive and rude:

BIDEN: Well, you’re being a wise guy with me a little bit. I understand that’s your job. But look — at the time what happened was the, uh . . . let’s look at the reason for the inflation. The reason for the inflation is the supply chains were cut off, meaning that the products, for example, automobiles, the lack of computer chips to be able to build those automobiles, so they could function, they need those computer chips. They were not available, so what happens? With the number of cars were reduced, the new cars reduced — it made up at one point one-third the cost of inflation, because the price of automobiles were up. So, what I did, when I went out and made sure we started to make those domestically. We got Intel to come in and provide 20 billion dollars to build a new facility. A number of organizations are doing the same kinds of things.

    How did the idiotic american electorate imagined that Biden would do better than Trump? Trump had inflation AND (illegal) immigration under control… yet he was not sufficiently “presidential” for them! Now they have Biden, the most ghostly pedo-president of irish-catholic descent (the other one in the 69s was only adulterous… at least that’s what we know…) with his leftist-democrat-globalist agenda and they are still not happy?! And they are far from having seen the end of it…

    Inflation still here and likely will get a lot worse.
    I just hope we can avoid hyperinflation, because it seems like everything going on in Washington is going to end up there.

    I highly doubt Intel made its chip facility decision based on a phone call from Biden. Too bad Lester Holt didn’t get a follow-up question on that ridiculous assertion.

    I’d like to know what percentage of RUSSIAN OIL EXPORTS America typically buys. And, what do OIL EXPORTS represent in the overall economy of Russia.

White House announced $6 billion student loan forgiveness for 78,000 public service workers

United States Congress

The White House recently announced a $6 billion loan forgiveness program. Nurses, teachers and firefighters are among the 78,000 public service workers who will qualify. Fox Business reports:

Due to fixes to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program, workers that never received forgiveness are now having their debts partially forgiven or canceled. Only about 7,000 public service borrowers received forgiveness prior to the Biden Administration, now that total hovers closer to 870,000, the announcement said.

“Today’s announcement comes on top of the significant progress we’ve achieved for students and student loan borrowers in the past few years,” the announcement stated. “This includes: providing the largest increases in Pell Grants in over a decade to help families who earn less than roughly $60,000 a year; fixing Income-Driven Repayment plans so borrowers in repayment for years get the relief they earned; and creating the most generous Income-Driven Repayment plan in history – the SAVE plan.”

However, there is concern over fairness that older generations are still paying off student loans and could risk losing Social Security. A group of representatives wrote a letter to Congress, hoping to address the issue of seniors still paying down student loans. Currently, under the Treasury Offset Program (TOP), the government can collect funds, such as tax refunds and Social Security, to pay outstanding student loan balances, reports Fox Business.

“Under the TOP, the federal government can withhold up to 15 percent of monthly Social Security or disability benefits for defaulted student loans,” the lawmakers explained in their letter.
