Heading into the 2022 Mid-Term Election Year, voters are lacking confidence in President Biden's leadership abilities, are concerned about Inflation, the economy and the Democrat Party's "agenda," and are pessimistically running short of patience on all of the above according to new Wall Street Journal Poll. A whopping 63% of voters say the country has "gone off-track" just nine months into Biden's presidency.

Cruz, adding, "They will impose a burden on American businesses that could cause 45 million Americans to lose their jobs."

President Biden's newly-signed "infrastructure package" imposes roughly $13 billion worth of taxes on 42 different chemicals and critical minerals. And with 40% of the nation’s manufacturing plants being located in Texas, manufacturing and everyday consumers will be significantly harmed in the state. ​​​​​​​"It’s crucial we pass the 'Chemical Tax Repeal Act' to defend American families and job creators from paying the price for historic, out-of-control spending in D.C.,” said Sen. Ted Cruz.

Try to imagine a President doing a worse job than Joe Biden. Think about how that would even be possible. Remember Joe Biden one year ago Friday? “I’m gonna ask the public for 100 days to mask, just 100 days. Not forever, 100 days. And I think we’ll see a significant reduction if we occur that, if, if, if, if that occurs with vaccinations and masking to drive down the numbers considerably.”
