President Joe Biden emerged from his padded cave today to try to sell America on the awesomeness that is the Inflation Reduction Act.
President Biden will deliver remarks on the Inflation Reduction Act at noon, per updated White House schedule.

Well, Biden didn’t actually come out at noon. It was more like an hour later. But that’s probably because he just needed the extra time to try to dial down his enthusiasm. He wouldn’t want to get too giddy while he’s delivering important remarks. Wouldn’t be presidential, you know.
He was still pretty giddy, though:

A godsend, folks! An effing godsend!

The Inflation Reduction Act won’t have any negative impact on most Americans, anyone who makes less than $400,000 a year. And it’s going to help boost our economy, which is still not in a recession according to whatever dictionary Joe Biden uses.
Do you hear him? We’re not in a recession, dammit!

Despite data showing the US economy has been shrinking for half-a-year, Biden points to other indicators, such as low unemployment and recent business investment.
"That doesn't sound like a recession to me," he says, declining to take reporters' questions.

The economy in a death spiral, with costs of goods and services way up and the real value of money way down. Businesses can’t find people to fill job vacancies. We literally cannot afford to stay on this economic trajectory. But that doesn’t sound like a recession to Joe Biden!
"That doesn't sound like a recession to me."

We still can’t quite believe we actually heard those words come out of his mouth hole.

Talk about malarkey. This is textbook malarkey. Look up “malarkey” in the dictionary, and this is it.
65% of the country thinks we are already in a recession. 80% think the country is oh the wrong track. 75% of Democrats don’t want Biden to run again.

Really, Mr. President? Not even one question? Do you have somewhere more important to be right now? Is this spiel cutting into naptime?

Nothing exudes confidence and leadership like making a declaration everyone knows you don't believe and hightailing it out of there
