****Joe Biden State Of The Union Show Thread*****

So continue to pretend it doesn't happen. Call everyone a "liar" and a "Simp" and continue to post like the ignorant asshole you are. The rest of the world knows what's going on in the USA and we hold the people who continue to back the Republican white nationalist agenda in contempt.


It's not like you care about or anyone or anything other than posting nonsense 40 times per day.
Do you have a link? Try too help the little fella out, Simp.
 
Well the factcheckers are out...and aren't kind to Joey Lie-den


President Joe Biden put his spin on some facts, particularly about the economy, in his Feb. 7 State of the Union address:

  • Biden boasted that the 12.1 million jobs created in his first two years were more than the number of jobs added in four years under any president. But that job growth was fueled by a post-pandemic recovery that started under his predecessor, and his comparison doesn’t account for population growth.
  • The president said “take-home pay has gone up,” which is true, but the rise is not as fast as inflation. “Real” weekly earnings, which are adjusted for inflation, have gone down.
  • Biden said he has cut the deficit by a record $1.7 trillion, but most of that was due to expiring emergency pandemic spending.
  • Biden said “for too many decades, we imported projects and exported jobs,” but now “we’re exporting American products and creating American jobs.” In fact, U.S. imports of goods and services have continued to exceed exports under Biden.
  • The president repeated a claim popular among Democrats during the midterms, suggesting that some Republicans would “sunset” Medicare and Social Security. The claim exaggerates the support for a proposal from Sen. Rick Scott that would have brought up all federal legislation for a vote every five years.
  • With the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the U.S. is “replacing poisonous lead pipes that go into 10 million homes in America, 400,000 schools and childcare centers,” he said. But the law didn’t provide enough funding to replace all lead pipes.
  • As he did last year, Biden said U.S. infrastructure had “sunk to 13th in the world.” But some have questioned the report behind that statistic.

LOL

So largely accurate; but excuses.

I have noticed that asking a dembot cultist to provide some sort of link or proof when they defend their cult, it largely goes unanswered
 
If this is what they've called him on, I can accept this for being SOTU rhetoric. Nothing overt in this. And it can all be debated...except for the SS and Medicare debate. Before McCarthy took it off the table this week, it was ON the table to cut...because Republicans refuse to look at tax increases for corporations and the wealthy (their donors). Small wonder. :)
These were his biggest accomplishments he threw out there....and they are either lies, or taking credit for what Trump did.

Here is anotehr fact checker: From the economy to police reform: Fact checks from Biden’s 2023 State of the Union address

  • Millions of jobs that returned after lockdowns: The U.S. added 4.5 million jobs in 2022, second-most behind the 6.7 million gained in 2021 as the nation continued to recover from the pandemic.
  • Labor participation still lags pre-pandemic levels. The share of adults working or looking for a job edged up to 62.4%, the highest since March but still below the pre-pandemic level of 63.4%.
  • Consumer prices were still up 6.5% in December from a year earlier: Prices are trending down but Americans are still facing historically high costs of living. One household staple, eggs, cost 60% more than a year ago.
  • Cost of living is high: Families are still struggling to pay high energy bills along with other rising costs for essential goods, like food and rent, that are increasing at a faster rate than the overall rate of inflation. Grocery prices rose 10.4% annually in December and rent rose about 7.5%, while overall inflation increased by 6.5%.

Excuses aside, that is true.

People going back to old jobs. Were are at about the same total number of people employed as we were prior to the Fauci flu and Dimtard shutdowns, Simp.
 
Biden will be room temperature inside of 10 years and the Democrat party will drop this issue.


True, but I wasn't speaking of a literal ten years. For it's no secret that Biden's administration wants to do away with fossil fuels.

No, it's not true...not at all...as the factchecker highlighted, they weren't "created" - they were people going back to the jobs they had under the prior admin, after the Covid lockdowns.

It's a flat lie.
 
The last thing in the world we need right now is more created jobs. We need current jobs to be filled. When will the air headed Democrats get this through their thick skulls!?

LOL

You're completely deranged. :cuckoo:

We're 2.7 million jobs over pre-covid levels and it was Trump who recommended the country shut down..




"Therefore, my administration is recommending that all Americans, including the young and healthy, work to engage in schooling from home when possible, avoid gathering in groups of more than 10 people, avoid discretionary travel and avoid eating and drinking in bars, restaurants, and public food courts." ~ Donald Trump, 3.16.2020

Already been over these points. They can be argued both ways. Biden was touting the positive so I'll take these ones that may be stretched as him taking a victory lap. They are not overt lies.
 
Just a reminder, people are out of work because they choose to be. Not because there aren't any jobs available. I see help wanted signs everywhere around here.
