In a tweet on Wednesday, Biden boldly stated, &#8220;I cut the deficit by 1.7 trillion dollars in two years\u2014that&#8217;s more than any president on record.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The Washington Post rated this claim &#8216;highly misleading&#8217; and other fact-checkers have disputed its accuracy,&#8221; a subsequent Community Notes correction read. &#8220;The $1.7T spending reduction claimed by Biden was the result of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dont-make-the-mistake-of-falling-for-joe-bidens-economic-fairy-tale\/\" title=\"Don\u2019t Make the Mistake of Falling for Joe Biden\u2019s Economic Fairy Tale\">pandemic emergency spending<\/a> that automatically expired, versus action taken by the president.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>FactCheck.org has been disputing Biden&#8217;s claim since April of this year, as the president has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/man-fired-family-doxxed-over-viral-video-of-alleged-homophobia-to-male-in-prom-dress-heres-his-side-of-the-story\/\" title=\"Man Fired, Family Doxxed Over Viral Video Of Alleged \u2018Homophobia\u2019 To Male In Prom Dress. Here\u2019s His Side Of The Story.\u00a0\">made similar assertions<\/a> in past speeches. It seems that the accuracy of his statement is still a subject of debate.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has acknowledged that the 2021 deficit fell &#8220;mostly because <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/build-back-never-americans-paying-most-income-taxes-ever\/\" title=\"Build Back Never: Americans Paying Most Income Taxes Ever\">income tax receipts<\/a> were greater than CBO projected.\u201d According to the CBO, this increase in revenue can be attributed to &#8220;strong growth in economic activity, following the substantial disruption in 2020 caused by the pandemic&#8221; and &#8220;legislation enacted in response to the pandemic.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This is not the first time Biden has been fact-checked on the platform, and interestingly, he has a habit of leaving the tweet up without offering any correction of his own.<\/p>\n<h3>Related Articles:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#\">Biden Manages Tense Relations with China as COVID-19 Issues Reemerge<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#\">Click here to read more from The Washington Examiner<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden faced another fact-check from Twitter regarding his statement on reducing the federal deficit.
