It seems like only yesterday when President Joe Biden took to the podium to tell us all how great the economy is doing under his stewardship and how inflation is going down and how we don’t even realize how great everything is going to be if we stay the course with his plan.

Wait. Actually, it was only yesterday. Though to be fair, Biden likes to have these little economic bragging sessions every so often, and what he said yesterday was pretty much the same stuff he’s been saying over and over again for the past however-many months. It’s really obnoxious, but even more than that, it’s offensive. It’s offensive because he expects us to take him at his word despite the mountains of hard evidence that he’s lying to us.
Recall this moment, also from yesterday:

That’s blatantly untrue. And when even CNN’s reporting casts doubt on that sort of insane claim, you know you’ve gone too far:
The average American household needs to spend $396 more per month to buy the same goods and services it bought a year ago https://t.co/kuEslpXkVW pic.twitter.com/0veaR4dcQQ

Yes, CNN couched the bad news in a reminder that the inflation rate was worse than in June, so as not to throw Biden completely under the bus. But still, for CNN to even be talking about this is pretty remarkable.

Contra Joe Biden, real wages are not keeping up with inflation. Not by a long shot.

And $396 more a month is not an insignificant amount of money.
That used to be a car payment until car payments became $1,000. https://t.co/JvXADlkqa1

I'm way more than that just in groceries.

This is a lowball estimate, as anyone who has to run a household will tell you https://t.co/MK5b1dMQ1k

$396/month sounds easier to swallow than $4752/year.
Hope your after-tax income can cover this… https://t.co/2Wy4pQiIRL

Well anyway, kudos to CNN for finally getting around to validating some of our legitimate concerns about putting Joe Biden in charge of the U.S. economy.
Yes we know. We've known this for about a year now. And this is why legacy media is dying. https://t.co/xFBmBMGxQe
