President Joe Biden was in Milwaukee, Wisconsin Tuesday, working in a quick campaign stop in between vacations. As we told you, he lied about having witnessed a bridge collapse in Pennsylvania — he got there about a week after it happened to push his infrastructure bill.
He also told another whopper, calling himself the first president to have reduced the federal debt by $1.7 trillion in his first two years in office. And he did it all by spending money!

He doesn't know the difference between debt and deficit.

The expected future deficit was cut but doesn’t put a dent into what we currently owe. Not something that was his doing either.

The last time the debt went down was in the 1950s.

This is a massive lie.

The only time the federal debt is cut is when there's a budget surplus.
That hasn't happened since fiscal year 2001.
Lying Biden lying again.
He’d lie when the truth would sound better. Got no respect for facetious malignant narcissists.

We guess this is part of his "Bidenomics" pitch to 2024 voters. You'll be feeling the effects of those policies any day now.
