He will outline how amazing everything is and provide a list of all the things he wants to do in future.<\/p>\n<p>He gave us a glimpse of his future last week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, I\u2019m happy to report that the state of the Union and the state of our economy is strong,\u201d Biden screamed to reporters Friday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe learned this morning that the economy has created 517,000 jobs just last month \u2014 more than half a million jobs in just the month of January. And in addition, we also learned that we \u2014 there were half a million more jobs created last year than we thought.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd even as the job market reaches historic highs, inflation continues to come down. Inflation has now fallen for six straight months. Gas prices are down more than $1.50 a gallon since their peak. Food inflation is falling as well. And as inflation is coming down, take-home pay for workers is going up. Real wages are up. Wages for lower-income and middle-income workers have gone up even more,\u201d Biden gloated.<\/p>\n<p>Ah, Biden with his rose-colored glasses. The reporter quickly burst into his bubble and asked: \u201cDo you take any blame for inflation, Mr. President?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAm I taking blame for inflation?\u201d Biden asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCorrect,\u201d According to the reporter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy not?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause it was already there when I got here, man. Remember what the economy was like when I got here? Jobs were hemorrhaging. Inflation was rising. We weren\u2019t manufacturing a damn thing here. We were in real economic difficulty. That\u2019s why I don\u2019t,\u201d Biden said.<\/p>\n<p>Well. I don&#8217;t know where to start. There are so many lies here uttered by the president of the United States that it\u2019s hard to unpack them all.<\/p>\n<p><strong>INFLATION BY NUMBERS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with inflation, which a few months ago hit a 40-year high. In December 2020 (the last month of President Donald Trump&#8217;s term), the inflation rate was 1.4%. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usinflationcalculator.com\/inflation\/current-inflation-rates\/\">according<\/a> to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The average for the entire year of 2020 was 1.2%, data show.<\/p>\n<p>But after Biden killed the Keystone XL pipeline, froze student debt collection, rejoined the Paris climate accords, made a pathway for illegals to gain citizenship, and halted construction on the border wall \u2014 all actions he took on Day 1 \u2014 inflation started to climb.<\/p>\n<p>In his first six months in office, inflation went from 1.4% to 5.4%. It was worse in 2022, rising to 9.1% by June. But Biden is a highly skilled liar: Inflation <em>has<\/em> fallen for six straight months \u2014 all the way down to 6.5%. The average for 2022 was 8%, soaring from 1.2% in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Now, some people argue that the president shouldn\u2019t take credit for a good economy and certainly doesn\u2019t deserve the blame for a bad one. But in Biden\u2019s case, he definitely deserves the blame.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEconomists say Biden\u2019s pandemic relief policies including the American Rescue Plan exacerbated matters, by giving Americans too much money to spend when goods and services supplies were too low, which drove prices higher,\u201d PolitiFact <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politifact.com\/article\/2023\/feb\/06\/whats-the-economic-state-of-the-union-under-joe-bi\/\">wrote<\/a> on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>It was Biden\u2019s \u201cmost profound failure and policy error,\u201d Douglas Holtz-Eakin, president of the center-right American Action Forum, told the fact-checking site.<\/p>\n<p><strong>GAS PRICES BY THE NUMBERS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-367123\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-367123\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/biden-300x144.jpg\" alt=\"A satirical protest sticker critical of American President Joe Biden, with text reading I Did That, has been placed on a gasoline pump in Lafayette, California, likely to imply responsibility for high gasoline prices, December 29, 2021.

When Biden took office, a gallon of regular averaged $2.38. Today it\u2019s $3.46, <a href=\"https:\/\/gasprices.aaa.com\/\">according<\/a> to the American Automobile Association (AAA).<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s nearly 50% higher (46% to be exact) than it was when Biden took office. And remember, by February 2022, the eve of Russia\u2019s war in Ukraine, the price had already risen above $3.50 \u2014 which negates Biden\u2019s endless claims of \u201cPutin\u2019s price hike\u201d at the pumps.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to canceling the Keystone XL pipeline, Biden also suspended new federal oil and gas leases, hiked drilling fees on federal land, and mandated that all federal vehicles be zero emissions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Biden administration has waged a war on supply and prices have skyrocketed,\u201d Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said last April. \u201cThis is not an accident. This is not Putin. This is Joe Biden and the Democrats in the Green New Deal and they\u2019re desperately looking for a political excuse to blame somebody else for the consequences of what they promised they would do to the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But again, Biden is a true snollygoster, mendacious to the core. Gas <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/dnav\/pet\/hist\/LeafHandler.ashx?n=PET&#038;s=EMM_EPMR_PTE_NUS_DPG&#038;f=M\">prices<\/a> <em>are<\/em> down more than $1.50 from their peak \u2014 a gallon of regular averaged $4.93 in June. But see above \u2014 still up 46% since he took office. And they\u2019re going up again \u2014 the average was $3.21 in<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden will deliver an hour-long address to America on Tuesday, laying out just how great everything is and delivering a mind-numbing laundry list of everything he hopes to do in the future.
