As Americans celebrate the holidays under the black cloud of economic stress, President Joe Biden thought it would be prudent to issue remarks on how great the economy is doing.
The full remarks can be heard below for curious minds:
Tune in as I deliver remarks on our efforts to tackle inflation. https://t.co/hVFafBhHw3
— President Biden (@POTUS) December 13, 2022
But for those who don’t have that kind of time, or who don’t take kindly to being lied to, the denizens of Twitter captured some of the best (or worst) moments.
“Inflation is coming down in America” says Joe Biden

No, he really said that.

If anyone has been to the grocery store lately, this next one will probably make the least sense:
Biden: “Food inflation has slowed last month providing much needed relief for millions of families at the grocery store.”
Food at home inflation rates actually went from 0.4% in October to 0.5% in November.

So when can Americans expect to see a stabilization of prices? According to Biden “I can’t make that prediction.”
REPORTER: “Can you say when you expect prices to get back to normal?”
BIDEN “I hope by the end of next year…but I can’t make that prediction. I just am convinced they’re not gonna go up.” pic.twitter.com/h08AWYf782

But fear not, weary citizen, the plan is “working.”

At one point, Biden told the “blatant lie” that wages have gone up more than prices. Twitter users didn’t like that:
Blatant lie. Real wages have decreased since last year https://t.co/43MwsE8mH3

I can’t afford eggs anymore. Never thought that would ever be an issue in my life no matter how poor I was.

“Re” take? Perhaps you presume too much.
