WASHINGTON, DC- On January 29, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt labeled the Biden administration as "drunken sailors" for its controversial spending habits. Later that day, President Trump revealed that under the Democrats, the U.S. allocated $50 million for purchasing condoms for the people of Gaza, which is the hometown of our fiercest enemy, Hamas, and a substantial investment in the World Health Organization, that was often a vocal critique of Washington, D.C.

The urgency of the situation cannot be overstated. Failed Bidenomics and a steep decline in financial well-being for most American families marked the Biden-Harris era. The figures speak for themselves: Inflation rates hit highs of 7% and 8% in 2021 and 2022, respectively. The national debt rapidly increased from $27.8 trillion in January 2021 to $33 trillion in January 2025.

The Democrats' spending was not just complex, but it directly impacted the country’s economy in a profound way. We will outline the five most controversial initiatives of the Biden-Harris administration, which resulted in dramatic failures and cost American taxpayers a fortune.

The CHIPS Act: The CHIPS Act was designed to provide the domestic semiconductor industry with $79 billion in subsidies and loans. However, it is now clear that the initiative has failed to deliver. Once a dominant player in consumer and professional CPUs, Intel is now caught in a highly complex situation. 

Unfortunately, the bill was marred by woke climate and environmental requirements that only hindered the industry's development in the U.S. Moreover, necessary actions against leading semiconductor manufacturers, such as Taiwan, were not taken in a timely manner. 

The CHIPS Act's idea is sound, and we must work on securing our leadership in computer and AI technologies. The new administration is fully aware of this and will take a different approach, imposing various tariffs.

Affordable Connectivity Program: The Broadband Connectivity Act, with its Affordable Connectivity Program, is a $42 billion initiative to improve broadband internet access for households nationwide. Initially, the bill had bipartisan support and promised to improve the quality of living for many Americans.

Alas, the reality turned out to be completely different. The Democrats imposed diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) requirements on the program and failed to establish fast and convenient verification processes for applicants, ensuring that the initiative would be inefficient. As of January 2025, many communities are reported to face hurdles due to inadequate connectivity.

Inflation Reduction Act: The Inflation Reduction Act is an incredible multi-billion-dollar spending initiative that some pundits have dubbed a "last-minute spending spree." Given the current economic climate marked by high inflation rates, such a surge in taxpayer spending is not just a controversial move but a dire threat to the Trump administration’s efforts to address the issue.

Student Loan Forgiveness: Announced in August 2022, the initiative aims to forgive up to $20,000 in federal student loans for eligible borrowers. The program, part of Biden’s campaign promises, was eventually said to disproportionally benefit higher-income individuals who attended college and cost taxpayers around $316 billion

Failed Military Foreign Policy: The withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021 marked a pivotal moment in American foreign policy. Some pundits argue that the move portrayed the United States under Joe Biden as a weak and militarily incapable nation—a loser whose opinions and interests might be easily ignored by China or Russia. 

The U.S. left behind approximately $7 billion worth of military equipment. It included about 80 helicopters, 600 armored vehicles, and other assets like 350,000 weapons. The American military presence in Afghanistan provided a vital influence tool in the region as well as served as a remote frontier to combat serious threats like ISIS terrorists far from our borders. 

Moreover, almost 20 years of military operations in Afghanistan cost the U.S. taxpayers an incredible $2.3 trillion. All the efforts, all the lives of American soldiers given to establish a robust defense against terrorist threats, were multiplied by zero instantly by the Biden administration. 

The war in Ukraine, which broke out in early 2022, and Joe Biden’s controversial reaction have been a heavy burden on the U.S. budget, with more than $200 billion worth of military and direct financial aid. Many commentators say the Biden administration clearly underperformed, as the White House neither proposed a sustainable victory plan to defeat Putin nor took any peaceful actions to end the war. 

Despite numerous statements from prominent Democrats that Russia must be stopped, the flow of donations seemed to have no ultimate purpose. The support was given only because something had to be done. Furthermore, the Democrats ordered federal and state agencies to make donations, such as firefighting equipment provided by California First Responders and others. 

Pundits say it is unclear whether those donations significantly impacted the Los Angeles Fire Department’s ability to counter devastating wildfires that hit the West Coast in early 2025. Still, they highlight the fact that massive U.S. support fueled corruption and money laundering in Ukraine. 

As a result, Biden’s actions in Ukraine failed to stop the hostilities and defeat Russia, leaving the Trump administration in a highly complex situation. Thankfully, today, Donald Trump actively seeks peace.

These are just five instances of Democrat-inspired initiatives that cost Americans a hefty sum with often little or no result. The horrendous Biden-Harris administration, as well as the whole Blue-colored party, must be held accountable for their inefficiency and incompetence. After four years of growing disaster, Americans are completely fed up with politicians and policies that cater to the minority and corporations rather than the people. 

These are some of the many reasons why President Donald Trump won the 2024 election and why the GOP must learn from these Biden administration mistakes. It's crucial that they must deliver to the American people and never repeat the 'drunken sailors' mistakes.
