1: “Take-home pay has gone up.”
Real wages have fallen every month for nearly two straight years under his administration as historic inflation swamps nominal wages and destroys living standards.
2. “We have created a record 12 million new jobs.”
Biden tries to count the jobs backfilled post-pandemic as “new” jobs, but these positions were already created and merely temporarily abandoned due to COVID-19.
3: “[I have presided over] the largest deficit reduction in American history.”
Again, Biden is trying to take advantage of the moderation from the unique pandemic baseline. In reality, Biden has presided over the largest two-year deficit — $4.2 trillion — in American history.
4: “Two years ago, our economy was reeling.”
President Trump presided over the fastest economic recovery in American history, with the economy expanding by 11 percent in his last six months in office. Unfortunately, instead of simply continuing Trump’s policies and riding his coattails to a rapid resurgence, Biden seized the opportunity to pass several trillion dollars’ worth of unnecessary spending that fueled historic inflation, putting a tremendous burden on small business owners and ordinary Americans.
5: Oil companies have “invested too little of th[eir] profit to increase domestic production and keep gas prices down.”
Oil companies would like to expand production to take advantage of high oil prices, but the Biden administration’s green energy policies make this very difficult.
6: “Now, thanks to all we’ve done, we’re exporting American products.”
The same day as the State of the Union address, the government released 2022 trade figures showing the country hit a record trade deficit of almost $1 trillion last year. That’s up 12.2 percent compared to 2021,
7: The wealthy don’t “pay their fair share.”
This stale Democrat talking point seems to make it into every stump speech. But it couldn’t be further from the truth. The top 1 percent of highest-earning Americans pay nearly 50 percent of the nation’s income taxes — about twice their “share” of national income.
