    Can anyone give me 3 reasons why Joe Biden is failing? I know it's sounds simple but hear me out. I want to hear 3 legit and factual reasons. Not opinions. One example each and one fact to back it up. And, if he has been successful, the same. 3 examples, 3 facts. Something my students are going to be working on.

    I'll give it a go and keep it to economics :
    1) economic cycle - the economy generally improves / degrades on roughly a 7 year basis. Prior contractions 2000-2001 the end of the dot con bubble 2007/2008 the financial crisis 2015 a soft economy. 2021 to 2022 a contraction with the expected with rumblings of a recession. Perhaps the argument could be made, economic cycle and its anticipation, is affecting Biden's success. However, whomever would have been an office would have also been susceptible to the same economic cycle.

    2. Pqndemic- regardless of your view on the severity of, vax or not, this (black swan) event has had an impact on all sectors of the economy. White Collar industries may have been able to continue operations with their workforce working remotely. Blue collar industries we're more susceptible two impacts, as we're minimum wage business as labor is needed to operate equipment or flip burgers, These impacts, and related changes to demands, affected the supply chain. Coupled with changes in consumption patterns, have created significant impacts to certain industries: travel, shipping, raw materials and manufacturing. As much as the business (and Manufacturing) is now dependent on global competition and transportation of goods, the impact especially resulting from shipping, has created winners and losers in business and a degree of glabal economic disruption. Coupled with Biden's strategy on altering corporate taxes, and a large number of multi national companies operating in the US, companies are once again looking at where they want to operate globally to take advantage of labor and tax savings. Which, the prior Administration had tried to modify through reduced US Corp taxes.

    3 GDP and debt
    Prior to the additional 'investments' made to support the pandemic(e.g. the p p p programa) and trillions of dollars of additional debt for various programs (from many administration's). The debt to gdp ratio of the US was on a tenuous level in years prior, where domestic production was slightly higher than debt. Debt now exceeds production. With the threat of additional substantial programs from this Administration, this may be a signal now that the US is a laggard instead of a leader. Other decisions such as the reduction of us petroleum production, stoppage of pipelines, imports of petroleum products also impact the citizens pocket at the pump and costs of goods passed on to consumers and companies consuming these products.

    I've said it before and will take this opportunity to say it again, we keep going down this path and in 50 years we will be in the same boat as Greece is now and has been for nearly 10 years.

    1) economic cycle is global... Wouldn't matter who was in office.
    2) pandemic, partial blame on his administration and specifically him as Exec director. Yes, on this point his leadership and decisions key factors.
    3) gdp v debt, again, as lead of Exec govt and the majority party leader / nominee this is more so his decisions in collaboration with others in his party. Worse, he's on the news flaunting his infrastructure bill and his comm secretary just exacerbating.


    National debt also, nothing more than a loan to be paid by taxes on the citizens and companies.
