In-Brief

1. The crisis at the southern border keeps getting worse according to both Ds and Rs. Biden’s Border “Czar” on the National Security Council is resigning after just a few months in the job. VP Harris, appointed by Biden to fix the border problems, is a total no-show.
2. President Biden proposes a $2.3T “infrastructure” bill that is more of a social-welfare bill than an infrastructure bill. It will not pass in its current form and may not pass at all because several Senate Democrats oppose major parts of it. Republicans support only the real infrastructure components of the bill, which represent less than one-half of the spending.
3. More progress on winning the war against Covid-19. We are near or at herd immunity. Over 80% of Americans now have Covid-19 antibodies in our bodies which resist the disease. The UK is projected to hit herd immunity today and the US is close behind.
4. President Biden’s overall approval rating in the Rasmussen Poll is 50% and his disapproval rating is to 48%. He has 33% strong approval and 41% strong disapproval – a minus 8 index score.
5. Vaccinations against Covid, with vaccines from Pfizer, Moderna, and J&J, have reached over 180 million doses administered. There have been very few serious reactions to the vaccines in the US. There is increasing evidence that the worst of the pandemic in the US will be over by mid-spring, about the end of April. REMEMBER THAT THE END OF THE PANDEMIC DOESN’T MEAN YOU CANNOT GET COVID, JUST THAT IT IS VERY UNLIKELY. IT IS LIKE GETTING THE FLU LONG AFTER THE FLU SEASON IS OVER.
6. Most of the rest of the world is still having serious and mounting Covid-19 problems, with rapidly rising cases and deaths.
7. The US economy began a strong recovery last June. The recovery has been V-shaped, and the economy will likely grow by 6 to 8% this year. The unemployment rate is likely to fall to less than 5%.
