He allowed the worst border crisis in US history to fester.
After the disasters Joe Biden caused in 2022, I didn't imagine his presidency could get any worse, but it did.
Here are the 10 worst decisions Biden made in 2023:
1. He announced that he will run again for the post of President in the next elections. Biden is the most unpopular president since the end of World War II. An October Monmouth poll found 76 percent say he is too old to serve another term; A CNN poll in August found that 67 percent of Democrats want someone else to be their party's nominee.
2. The failure with the war in Ukraine. He continued to delay the delivery of arms to Ukraine. After resisting for nearly a year, Biden finally agreed in January to provide Ukrainian forces with M1A1 Abrams tanks, but the first tanks did not arrive until September. After 19 months of pleading, Biden awarded Kiev the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) in October. After denying Ukraine's requests for F-16 jets for more than a year, Biden reversed course in May — but US training delays prevented their deployment. He has provided Kiev with only three Patriot air defense systems, leaving Ukrainian troops, schools, homes, hospitals and critical infrastructure exposed. Biden's delays have undermined Ukraine's counteroffensive, prolonged the war and weakened support in Congress for military aid to Ukraine.
3. He blocked allies from giving Ukraine a clear path to NATO membership. At a July summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, most NATO allies wanted to set a specific deadline for Kiev to join the alliance, but Biden rejected their demands for fear of provoking Russia — giving Putin a great victory.
4. He allowed the worst border crisis in US history to fester. In fiscal year 2023, the record for most crossings at the southern border was broken for the third year in a row. Just before Christmas, there were more than 12,600 encounters with migrants in a single day. The highest total ever recorded.
5. He allowed Iran to attack US forces with impunity. As president, Donald Trump drew a clear red line with Iran's leaders, warning that the United States would respond militarily against Iran or its terrorist proxies if they killed a single American. He implemented this by removing Iran's terrorist mastermind, Qasem Soleimani, in 2020. On October 7, Iran's proxy Hamas killed more than 30 Americans during its attack against Israel. Since then, Iran's terror partners have reportedly carried out more than 100 attacks on US forces in Iraq, Syria and the Red Sea. However, Biden has not imposed any costs on Iran, sending a message of weakness that invites more attacks.
6. He allowed a Chinese spy balloon to violate US airspace. For days, the Biden administration did nothing to stop the Chinese spy until someone in Montana looked up to the sky and said, What the hell is this?
7. He failed to control anti-Semitism on the left. When Biden announced his candidacy for president in 2019, he condemned the right-wing fanatics in Charlottesville "singing the same anti-Semitic bile heard all over Europe in the 1930s." However, he failed to forcefully confront the outburst of anti-Semitic bile on the left from college campuses to Capitol Hill following the October 7 Hamas terror attack on Israel.
8. He bypassed the Supreme Court on student loan forgiveness. With the stroke of a pen, Biden tried in 2022 to cancel half a trillion dollars in student debt, only to see his unconstitutional plan blocked by the Supreme Court. So the president used other regulatory tools to pay off nearly $132 billion in student debt anyway.
9. It made the US more dependent on Russian uranium. If Biden wants to accelerate the transition of Americans from fossil fuels to electricity, we will need more nuclear power. However, the president limited development to more than 1 million acres of land that includes the only US source of high-grade uranium ore. Since the United States is the largest buyer of enriched uranium from Russia, this move increases our dependence on Russia at a time when we are trying to isolate Vladimir Putin.
10. He made the childcare crisis worse. Child care costs have risen at nearly twice the rate of inflation. Instead of expanding the State Department's au pair program, which made this a lower-cost option, the Biden administration put forward a plan that would double the cost of hiring an au pair by tying compensation to state and local wage laws. minimum, which will effectively put the program out of reach for many working families./ Adapted "Pamphlet" from "Washington Post"
