yeah, reality is kind of intruding on biden s efforts to make this mid-term election about anything but the economy, right? about abortion, about climate change. the biden administration has consistently treated all of these economic issues, the uncertainty, the rises cost of living as problems that they can talk their way out of. they can convince enough americans not to believe what they re experiencing at the grocery store when they look at their bank statement, when they don t have to put forward any solutions. they have had very few. so there s a reason why democrats don t want this mid-term conversation to be about the economy. republicans have a really good opportunity here to sort of crystallize this narrative that democrats are not capable of governing at this moment. they could just paint this tapestry of failures that the biden administration has presided over. you mentioned the border, public schools are failing. crime is sky rocketing in cities. the economy is crumbling

scholar and fox news contributor. marc, welcome. good to have you with us. you have $153 billion that went unspent. you have all of these teachers that are now gone. so there was money budgeted for those teachers. so that money could should be used to pay for them. i don t know why nobody seems to be saying that. memphis needs 200 teachers. they don t have a single applicant. this is what the poor school kids are facing as they try to catch up. yeah, it s a tragedy. one more way that the pandemic lockdowns are devastating america s children. you have the school closures which led to a mental health crisis with suicide rates among teenage girls sky rocketing, you had learning losses for which these kids will never recover. lifetime earning losses and kids and poor kids are hit the worst. now you have the pandemic, distortions of the economy, which have created a massive labor shortage which are now robbing these kids of teachers
