President Joe Biden and the Democrats want you to believe that what they call “Bidenomics” is working for the average American, but statistics show that it is not.
As the media does its best to work the numbers and show anything positive in the economy, the American people are believing what their eyes are showing them.
They can see their bank accounts; they can see the prices when they go to the store, and no matter how many times they are told to ignore what they are seeing, it is impossible to avoid the reality.
And now another number shows the effect of Bidenomics on Americans as the rate of hunger has ballooned during the Biden presidency.
A report from the U.S. Agriculture Department showed that the number of Americans dealing with hunger and food insecurity grew by 10 million during the Biden presidency, Just The News reported.
“From 2021 to 2022, there were statistically significant increases in food insecurity and very low food security for nearly all subgroups of households described in this report,” the report said.
“In 2022, the typical food-secure household spent 15 percent more on food than the typical food-insecure household of the same size and household composition,” it said.
Even President Biden’s Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said that the report was alarming.
“These findings are unacceptable, yet the report is the latest piece of evidence that as the pandemic began to wane in 2022, another public health concern — food insecurity— increased,” he said.
The report came weeks after the Census Bureau reported that poverty had its swiftest rise in more than half a century during President Biden’s time in the White House.
And that is just the start of Biden’s devastating numbers.
President Joe Biden’s approval rating has been falling for months now, and it took yet another hit — among Democrat voters, no less — over his support for Israel following a brutal, deadly surprise attack on the Jewish state by the Hamas terrorist organization earlier this month.
According to Axios, citing a new Gallup survey, Biden’s approval rating fell 11 points in a single month among Democrats, falling to a record low of 75 percent, and that is largely due to his support for Israel.
“Biden is at risk of alienating members of his own party with his unequivocal support for Israel, which has carried out a weeks-long bombardment and total siege of Gaza in response to Hamas’ Oct. 7 terrorist attacks,” Axios reported.
The results come after Gallup found in February that more Democrats sympathized with Palestinians than Israelis for the first time since the polling firm asked the question.
“The divide is particularly stark between generations: Less than half (48%) of Gen Z and millennials believe the U.S. should publicly voice support for Israel, according to a recent NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll,” Axios continued.
While Biden’s steadfast support for Israel, his trip there, and his request that Congress provide $14 billion in aid for the country won him plaudits from Israel supporters, four new national surveys found that it didn’t translate into a net gain in political support at home, Axios reported.
“Biden’s approval in October’s Gallup poll fell four points to match a record low of 37%, driven by his slide among Democrats and a four-point drop-off among independents (35%). His approval among Republicans remained steady at 5%,” the outlet continued.
“Joe Biden has single-handedly alienated almost every Arab American and Muslim American voter in Michigan,” Democratic state Rep. Alabas Farhat told NBC News last week.
“The Biden administration and Democrats as a whole are going to have to do a lot of work to rebuild some level of trust with my community,” Farhat added. “It’s never too late to do the right thing.”
