The White House staff budget has exceeded $158.8 million during the first three years of the Biden administration, the largest White House payroll since 1971.
Joe Biden is the first president since Richard Nixon to employ over 500 employees on the White House payroll.
“Biden employs 108 more staffers than Trump (416) (FY2019) and 70 more than Obama (454) (FY2011) at the same point in their respective presidencies,” reported Adam Andrzejewski of OpenTheBooks.com.
The large Biden White House payroll had been a leading indicator of his commitment to expand the federal bureaucracy at all levels,” Andrzejewski pointed out. “In the first nine days of his presidency, Biden issued many executive orders expanding the size, scope, and power of the federal bureaucracy.”
While Biden officially declared the COVID-19 pandemic “over” in September 2022, the White House still retains 19 employees whose titles include “COVID.” Those titles include “Director of Economic Policy and Budget for the COVID-19 Response,” “Deputy Coordinator of the COVID-19 Response,” and 17 others. These COVID positions collectively receive over $2 million in salaries.
Speaking of Covid we are now seeing the consequences on children of the policies pushed by the federal government as well a lot of state governments. I wonder … “what were these at least nineteen White House “Covid” employees doing during Covid?” Why didn’t any “experts” on Joe Biden’s staff realize the immense harm that was inevitably going to come to children because of their “wise” policies involving school closures, masking, and lockdowns? Could it be that these “Covid experts” were in fact appointed because of their political affiliation, and not their Covid expertise? Hmmm!
Developmental disability among children between the ages of three and 17 rose to 8.56 percent during 2019–2021, according to a report by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published this month.
Almost one in ten children in the United States have a developmental disability, with their rates rising during the pandemic period when students were isolated and faced numerous restrictions.
In September, the “Nation’s Report Card” published by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) found that the average scores for students aged 9 years old fell by five points in reading and seven points in math last year compared to 2020. This was the first-ever score decline in math and the biggest average decline in reading since 1990.
In February last year, Stephen Miller, the founder of America First Legal, warned about the issue. “Until Biden’s CDC calls for the end of all forced masking of children—recognizing the immense developmental harms they inflict—the Administration continues to be guilty of child abuse,” he said in a Feb. 26, 2022, post on Twitter.
While Joe Biden can deny the existence of a granddaughter that was fathered by his son, Hunter, he and his “expensive experts” cannot deny that their Covid policies have significantly harmed the children of our nation.
