Here’s How To Survive Biden’s State Of The Union

Such a smash success has Joe Biden’s presidency been so far that even the Chinese are sending up Balloons. That’s more or less what Biden will say, over and over, during his State of the Union address on Tuesday.

The economy is alive and well. Inflation is slowing. The demand for electric vehicles is high. There has never been an orderlier southern border.

All of this will sound extremely frightening to viewers, who will be rightly start to question their sanity. Or perhaps it will make you feel like everyone else is getting ahead while you’re inexplicably falling behind.

Don’t panic. There are steps that you can take to ground yourself in reality when confronted by these anxieties. For instance, when Biden says something confusing — something like, “Folks! Energy costs are down, folks!” — remember to yourself that this is a lie. Prices for national gas were at their lowest Monday. Average Higher per gallon than one year ago. It’s more than a dollar per gallon higher than it was In January 2021Biden was inaugurated in the month of August.

Biden will probably also mention “steps” He is now in control Unabated flow hundreds of thousands of poor migrants from Latin America and Caribbean. Take a deep breath, and then refer to This chart maintained by Biden’s own administration, showing that December had the highest number of illegal aliens encountered by border agents — ever. More than 250,000 illegally arrived in the U.S. that month. Nearly 235,000 migrants illegally crossed into the United States in the month prior. That’s nearly half a million migrants throwing themselves into the care of the American taxpayer in just two months’ time. They openly say they’re here Biden is the reason.

When Biden states that inflation is down inflation, Democrat congressmen will clap with fervor. (Or higher prices). It’s a wonderful thing!He might even state that the cost of living has increased by less 6 percent than last year. Feel a spinning sensation? Close your eyes and count to 10, then turn around. These data Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics. If you exclude energy and food prices, the less-than-6 statistic is applicable.

In other words, if you don’t account for the things you depend on to survive, inflation really isn’t that bad! The food price is up by more than 10 per cent. It’s probably Close to 12 — and Perhaps even more. Energy prices have risen by more than 7 per cent. Mind you, this has been a year of rising costs, where each month it’s been more expensive to simply live than it was the same time a year before.

Biden’s vertigo-inducing speech will surely go on for what feels like an eternity, earning applause for assertions that are the exact opposite of reality. Remember, this too shall pass.
