Biden Brags

President Biden traveled 10 miles from the White House to Springfield, Virginia, yesterday for what was clearly a campaign event, but the taxpayers are picking up the tab anyway.

He repeatedly attacked “MAGA Republicans” throughout his speech. But when he wasn’t attacking Republicans, he was bragging about the Biden/Harris economy. 

I don’t know what he’s bragging about.

We just went through a devastating year with record inflation, and it’s still clobbering consumers. Gas prices are surging and food prices are sky-high. Virtually every day major corporations are announcing thousands of layoffs. 

So, why is Biden so happy? Well, he said the economy grew 2.9%, which normally would be a respectable number. 

But, just to be clear, that was the preliminary figure for the last quarter of 2022, and it was down from the third quarter, which suggests that the economy is slowing. Moreover, when you factor in the first two quarters of the year (-1.6% and -0.6% growth), total growth for all of 2022 was just a measly 1%. 

So, it’s a bit of an exaggeration to suggest, as the president did, that “the Biden economic plan is working,” and that “we’re moving in the right direction.”  As Senator John Kennedy noted, “President Biden is the only person in the [galaxy] who thinks our country is headed in the right direction.”

Where are all the fact checkers? 

They were working overtime during the Trump/Pence years, fact checking the most mundane pronouncements and even jokes. Well, now we’re learning that many of them were bankrolled by left-wing sugar daddy George Soros.
