BIDENOMICS - TRICKLE UP ECONOMICS
An economy built on extraction migration also radicalizes Americans’ democratic, compromise-promoting civic culture and allows wealthy elites to ignore despairing Americans at the bottom of society.
The wealth-shifting extraction migration policy is very unpopular, according to a wide variety of polls. The polls show deep and broad public opposition to labor migration and the inflow of temporary contract workers into jobs sought by young U.S. graduates.

San Francisco is situated at the heart of America’s tech boom. Yet according to this week’s guest, much of the city looks like a slum. Homelessness is rampant. Drug use is soaring and violent crime continues to rise. To find out what is happening to America’s most progressive cities Steven Edgintin is joined by the environmentalist and best-selling author Michael Shellenberger.
These 7 CITIES have the WORST INCOME INEQUALITY (San Francisco is NOT #1)
Report: 1-Bedroom Average Rent Rose 12.3 Percent Nationally in One Year
The national median prices for one-bedroom and two-bedroom rental units have skyrocketed as rent climbs sharply in cities across the country amid inflation, according to a report.
Rental platform Zumper has released its February National Rent Index report, which found the median rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the United States is $1,393, while the median two-bedroom rental goes for $1,708 — both all-time highs. In nine of the past ten months, the median one-bedroom price has reached new all-time peaks, while the median two-bedroom price has shattered records for 13 consecutive months, the report finds.
Moreover, the national median rent for a one-bedroom unit has increased 12.3 percent from February of 2021 to February of 2022 and is 1.4 percent higher than the previous month. “That one month of growth is more than twice the amount experienced in all of 2020 (0.6 percent), and more than four times experienced in 2019 (0.3 percent). In short, rent is continuing to rise at breakneck speeds,” the report states. The national median for two-bedroom units has jumped over 13 percent year-over-year.
According to Zumper, the ten cities with the highest one-bedroom rent prices include:
- New York City, New York
- 1-Bedroom Median: $3,100; Year over Year Increase: 26 Percent
- 2-Bedroom Median: $3,300; Year over Year Increase: 29.4 Percent

Brett Allen, a residential agent in New York City, told the New York Post that the rent increases in the city “should be illegal.”
“It’s horrible. I’m seeing a lot of people being turned out of their homes, people who paid rent on time with perfect credit scores,” he added.
One of Allen’s clients, Anne Kennedy, 26, was planning to renew her lease on her studio apartment in the West Village when she says she received a notice about 90 days before her lease was up stating rent would increase from $2,696 to $3,950 – a whopping 46.5 percent jump, the Post reports.
A 2019 New York City law required the landlord to notify Kennedy of the price hike at least ninety days before the lease renewal, according to the Post.
“It’s actually comical,” Kennedy said. “It’s definitely heartbreaking because I won’t be able to live with one of my best friends in the building anymore.”
“It couldn’t happen to a better person who would’ve negotiated in good faith and moved forward in a reasonable way,” Allen told the Post. “This is akin to an eviction notice. No person can afford an increase like that.”
Biden Resettles Over 146,000 Border Crossers Across U.S. in First Year
In his first year in office, President Joe Biden resettled more than 146,000 young border crossers across the United States — a foreign population more than twice the size of Portland, Maine and larger than Charleston, South Carolina.
The data comes from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) after Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) inquired about the Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs) program where thousands of young border crossers arrive at the U.S.-Mexico border and are subsequently resettled in American communities with American taxpayer money.
From January 20, 2021, to February 7, 2022, the Biden administration has resettled 146,248 young border crossers with sponsors — nearly 20,000 of which HHS has lost track of.
While about 128,000 of those young border crossers have been resettled with either parents, siblings, cousins, aunts, or uncles, HHS officials said nearly 18,000 have been placed with sponsors that are unrelated to them or are distant relatives.
Stephen Miller, head of America First Legal and a senior advisor to former President Trump, said a number of the “major takeaways” from the HHS data include the agency’s state goal of permanently resettling young border crossers in American communities and the failure to verify whether sponsors are illegal aliens, themselves.
As Breitbart News’s Neil Munro reports, the young border crossers are typically smuggled across the southern border while coyotes are paid by relatives living in the U.S. In New York City, New York, the smuggling operation has flooded the U.S. labor market with so many foreign workers, often illegal aliens, that many are struggling to find jobs to pay off the debts.
The UAC pipeline is only one component of illegal immigration to the U.S.
Within only a few months of 2021, the Biden administration had released more than 530,000 border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S. interior. Many will be aided by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that will provide them with legal services to fight their deportations.
In January alone, Biden released into the U.S. interior more than 62,500 border crossers and illegal aliens — a foreign population more than twice the size of Princeton, New Jersey; nearly twice the size of Lexington, Massachusetts; and more than six times the size of Jackson, Wyoming.

Sanctuary State Oregon to Spend $15M in Taxpayer Dollars Helping Illegal Aliens Avoid Deportation
The sanctuary state of Oregon is set to spend $15 million in state taxpayer money helping illegal aliens stay in the United States by evading deportation.
This week, the Oregon state legislature advanced a plan that will use taxpayer money to fund free legal representation for illegal aliens fighting their deportations from the U.S.
Republicans in the legislature tried to stop the plan but Democrats have control of both chambers, as well as the governorship, where Gov. Kate Brown (D) is expected to approve.
“There are certain people that I’m not interested in spending taxpayer funds on trying to keep them in the country,” State Sen. Tim Knopp (R) told Oregon Capital Chronicle. “I don’t know why we’d want to keep someone who has a felony record of murder, rape, kidnapping in the country.”
Specifically, the plan will throw $15 million in taxpayer money to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) who then will deploy free lawyers to represent illegal aliens in immigration cases.
Oregon is not the only state or locality to fund illegal immigration. The Madison City Council in Wisconsin this week approved $700,000 in taxpayer money to provide illegal aliens with rent, food costs, transportation, and attorney fees.
