Biden Does NOT need a BILL to close the border
He only needs a PEN. Thats all he needed to open it.
Thats all he needed to close it. Thats all Trump needed.
Maybe this is just Proof Trump is better than Biden.

Not only are Democrats better for the national economy as a whole, they’re better for state-level economies, too. As far back as 2004, it’s been noted online that red states as a whole are takers of federal tax revenues, blue states are donors. Analyzing annual data from 2008 through 2014, red states consistently got more money than blue states, by anywhere from 36 percent to 73 percent. One result of this, naturally, is that red states can better afford to cut taxes, since they’re mooching off all the rest of us. And yet, blue states continue to do better, year after year, decade after decades.

The differences he found were dramatic. Comparing the average ranks in economic strength, compared to the midpoint, he found that blue states averaged 3.23 above average, purple states averaged 1.19 above average, and red states averaged 3.67 below average. Looking at the top and bottom, he wrote, “Out of the top ten ranked states for economic strength there were four blue states, three red and three purple. Out of the bottom ten ranked states there were one blue, eight red and one purple.”

The average ranks in social cohesion and dysfunction showed an even stronger difference: of blue states averaged 6.16 above the midpoint, purple states 0.52 above the midpoint, and red states averaged 5.03 below the midpoint. “Against this index, six blue states ranked in the top ten along with two red states and two purple states. No blue state scored in the bottom 10 on this index although two purple states and eight red states did.”

Yup. You know how to change that wvit? Cut welfare, medicaid, social security, medicare, military pay/bases, and fed employees cause that's why red states take more fed money than blue states.

Reagan's policies lead to 16 year plus of record economic growth!

What have democrat policies given us?

Two recessions one of which has lasted 8 long years!

And Repocons were in power for 8 years before the Great Depression!

bush gave us our first recession by giving back all the surplus, which SHOULD have been used to pay DOWN the debt, like Clinton was doing.

bush also caused the 2008/9 recession with his short sighted and idiotic policies.

There was no surplus, except on paper. And FDR's policies extended the Great Depression, just as HRH Obama I's policies extended the recession.

Democrat policies unnecessarily prolonged the Great depression just as Obama's policies have kept the current recession going!

It's readily apparent that GOP policies are regressive in nature and favor the wealthy in our society.  There is no way that anyone who is honest can argue that.
