The House Oversight Committee is gearing up for a blockbuster hearing that is expected to take a deep dive into what the committee has dubbed “A Legacy of Incompetence: Consequences of the Biden-Harris Administration’s Policy Failures.” This hearing on Thursday morning promises to be a treasure trove of evidence illustrating just how much this administration has floundered, particularly as the 2024 elections loom large on the horizon. Chairman James Comer from Kentucky has provided committee members a memo outlining the Biden-Harris record, and an exclusive peek reveals a mountain of failures that would make even a seasoned juggler drop their balls.
There are two heavyweights front and center in the crosshairs — inflation and the chaos at the southern border. However, Comer’s memo goes well beyond just these two ticking time bombs. It tackles economic and regulatory missteps, taxpayer dollar wastage, and foreign policy disasters. It doesn’t spare Congressional Democrats either, highlighting their roles in dragging the nation into this economic mess with their reckless spending habits and overzealous regulatory push.

The memo pulls no punches, pointing out that the Biden-Harris administration’s costly regulatory agenda and congressional profligacy have led to an inflation rate so high that it could have easily qualified for its own horror movie title. It paints a grim picture in which everyday Americans are left wondering how they can afford groceries while high regulatory costs are stealthily siphoning their hard-earned dollars.
The grim scenario is compounded by anecdotal evidence indicating that a sizeable portion of the workforce feels more like paycheck-to-paycheck prisoners than hardworking citizens. By May 2024, wages had failed to match the surging inflation that Biden eagerly signed into law through various partisan bills. Meanwhile, during those halcyon Trump years, inflation sauntered in at a calm 1.9 percent annually—something that seems like an ancient memory now.
Comer doesn’t stop there; the memo slaps the Biden-Harris administration for what it describes as a “historic border crisis.” With over 8 million encounters with illegal immigrants since Biden took office, the chaotic scene at the border reads like an entry from a disaster film script. The administration’s deliberate policies, including the infamous end of the Remain in Mexico policy, have essentially rolled out the welcome mat for multitudes of illegal aliens. The memo paints a dark picture, warning that lax security might be playing right into the hands of terrorists and criminals looking to cross into the U.S.
Finally, it’s not just about the border or the economy; the memo nails the administration’s foreign policy blunders. From the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal to inconsistent policies on international conflicts, it seems that the Biden-Harris administration is caught in a perpetual game of catch-up with reality. When you think their approach to global matters couldn’t get more chaotic, their handling of the Israel-Hamas situation raises eyebrows; it’s like watching a toddler trying to navigate a minefield. The memo suggests that appeasing progressive factions has left America’s foreign policy in a diplomatic quagmire, all of which makes one question if the administration is more focused on political optics than the actual safety and security of the American people.
The hearing is set to commence at 10 am, offering a platform for homeowners, parents, and working individuals to glean insight into how their government has mismanaged their interests. With this kind of scrutiny, there appears to be a growing demand for accountability that the Biden-Harris administration is desperately trying to evade.
