What a Difference

Bakhmut is an important city in Ukraine’s eastern oblast of Donetsk, and it is under constant assault by Russia, with the barbarian hordes on the city’s outskirts and steadily raining artillery fire on the city’s apartment complexes, hospitals, and electricity and natural gas infrastructure.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy traveled deep into that city last Tuesday, while that artillery fire was going on. He was there to visit with the Ukrainian soldiers, decorate some for their valor, and to personally thank all of them for their sacrifices for their nation—rallying [the] troops on the country’s deadliest battlefield.

Meanwhile, our very own Progressive-Democrat President Joe Biden is too chicken even to visit our own border—openly refusing as recently as this month when he was in Arizona, just a few miles north of the border, disgustingly saying he had more important things to do than visit our southern border. Those more important things included not a single word even from a bit upstate—not a syllable—for our CBP personnel, ICE agents, National Guard soldiers working to protect our border.

I’ve written about this on a few occasions. The New York Post has current data, and they’re even worse. Here’s a table illustrating the matter (as usual, right click|Open in New Tab to get a bigger image).

And some specific data:

  • In 24 states, unemployment benefits and ObamaCare subsidies for a family of four with no one working are the annualized equivalent of at least the national median household.
  •  In a dozen states, the value of unemployment benefits and Obama­Care subsidies exceeds the salary and benefits of the average teacher, construction worker, electrician, firefighter, truck driver, machinist or retail associate.
  •  In New Jersey, a family of four can receive benefits equal to an annualized earned income of $108,000 with no one working.
  •  In Connecticut and New Jersey, a family earning $300,000 a year can receive ObamaCare subsidies
  •  New Jersey is a state where a family can earn the equivalent of $100,000 a year if both parents are collecting unemployment benefits and ObamaCare subsidies for health care. In Connecticut the benefits can reach $80,000.

Party is bent on keeping average Americans trapped in Party’s welfare cage and dependent on Party largesse in return for votes.
