After all ............"They have the money to spend".


Regarding inflation, he agreed that people feel day-to-day pain in the increased price of groceries and other items they need, but he argued it is more about anger than being unable to afford things.
“They have the money to spend. It angers them and it angers me that they have to spend more,” he argued, before talking about “corporate greed” being responsible.

How can he say that when more than 3 in 4 adult Americans are living paycheck to paycheck ?

NY Post listened to the CNN interview and determined he told a lie a minute during the sit down.



LIE 8: “[Inflation] was 9% when I came to office.”

This is the lie of the night.
Biden continues to pretend that the US was in terrible shape when he took office, when it was already on the rebound — thanks to Trump’s Warp Speed project that vaccinated people quickly against COVID.
Inflation was a measly 1.4% in January 2021.
Then Biden went on a first-year drunken sailor spending spree, and inflation skyrocketed. (https://nypost.com/2024/04/11/opinion/inflation-refuses-to-quit-despite-what-joe-biden-claims/)
