Because this is the final day of 2022, let’s go back nearly a year to what President Biden was saying about the stock market at the beginning of the year and then compare & contrast to what happened:
Fast-forward about a year and there’s another Biden brag that aged horribly:
Joe Biden, January 2022: The stock market “has hit record after record after record on my watch”

Biden, January 2022: “The stock market has hit record after record after record on my watch"
⭐️ This year, $18 trillion was wiped out from the stock market, per Forbes.

Everybody’s 401Ks and other retirement accounts are hardest hit by what’s happened on Biden’s “watch”:
Congratulations.
If you are reading this, you have survived the worst stock market performance since 2008.

“The stock market has hit record after record on my watch” didn’t age well at all for the rest of the year:
Stocks slipped on Friday to end a brutal 2022 with a whimper, as Wall Street wrapped up its worst year since 2008 on a sour note.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average slid 73.55 points, or 0.22%, to close at 33,147.25. The S&P 500 shed 0.25% to end at 3,839.50. The Nasdaq Composite ticked down 0.11% to 10,466.88.
Friday marked the final day of trading in what has been a painful year for stocks. All three of the major averages suffered their worst year since 2008 and snapped a three-year win streak. The Dow fared the best of the indexes in 2022, down about 8.8%. The S&P 500 sank 19.4%, and is more than 20% below its record high, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq tumbled 33.1%.
When does the “Build Back Better” portion of “Build Back Better” begin?
