Fact Check: Nine Misleading Claims in President Biden’s Inflation Denial - House Committee on Ways and Means

President Biden’s new strategy to fight inflation looks a lot like his old strategy to fight inflation – more denial, more excuses, and no solutions. Here are nine misleading claims in his most recent remarks. CLAIM: “Republicans have no plan to bring down prices.” FACT: If Democrats wanted to...

is it Biden's fault she sucks at life?

 

[Woodznutz]

The price of goods and services is the measuring stick of how people feel Is a good economy. Inflation has subsided since the out control numbers earlier in his presidency, but It is still higher than any time when Trump was in office. Prices soared across the board and have only marginally come back down and in some cases not at all. Housing prices, food prices, services prices, insurance prices, etc. are considerably higher and people have more debt on average. The overall sentiment regarding the state of the economy is low and that is because despite all the metrics, people have less money and can buy fewer things with the money they do have.

Milk and eggs have come down a lot.

 

[Crepitus]

Sigh... just sigh

I'm not interested in your 200k flames

This economy is a disaster. Go get schooled and educated and then try

Back your shit up for once in your life.

The economy is fine...until the bills come due.

A payment method that some call âphantom debtâ just hit a new record

Wells Fargo economists say “there is no way to know when this phantom debt could create substantial problems."

U.S. shoppers racked up $16.6 billion in buy-now-pay-later purchases during the holiday season, helping to close out a big year for the flexible payment option.

That’s according to Adobe Analytics, which pointed to a 14% increase in buy-now-pay-later purchasing over the holidays in a report released Thursday. Over the course of 2023, BNPL spending rose about 14% as well, to hit $75 billion.
