NOTE TO READERS
I thought it would be useful to describe to you my goals for the TR and my main methods.

• TR land is not the land of Chicken Little where the sky is always falling.
• It is also not Pollyanna land where everything is just fine.
• TR land is the land of accurate researched facts, accurate analyses, and accurate predictions.
• Each year I make 60 to 80 predictions at the start of the year. Experts disagree vehemently about the issues I address. From 2017 through 2020 my predictions have been correct 90% of the time.

DON’T MISS A SINGLE ISSUE!

Thanks,
Al

In-Brief

1. Biden faces increasing demands from Democrats in TX, NM, and AZ for action to solve the southern border crisis.
2. VP Harris, appointed by Biden to deal with the border problems, is still a total no-show at the border or in a press conference.
3. President Biden proposed 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 well less than one-half of the spending. The Republicans have offered a $600B plan that is almost all real infrastructure. A compromise now looks possible but radical Democrats are pushing hard for the entire plan. Without Republican votes this plan is dead.
4. More progress on winning the war against Covid-19. We are near herd immunity. 80 to 90% of Americans now have Covid-19 antibodies in our bodies which resist the disease.
5. President Biden’s overall approval rating in the Rasmussen Poll is 51% and his disapproval rating is 47%.
6. Vaccinations against Covid, with vaccines from Pfizer, Moderna, and J&J, have reached over 265 million doses administered. There have been very few serious reactions to the vaccines in the US.
7. The US economy began a strong recovery last June. The recovery has been V-shaped, and the economy will likely grow by 8% this year or more. It grew by 6.4% in the 1^ST The unemployment rate is likely to fall to less than 5% by year’s end. The jobs report last Friday was +266,000 jobs but many more were expected. Watch the next two months of reports to see if this was a blip or a trend.
