BREAKING: Joe Biden’s wild economic claims during his State of the Union address were fact-checked six times by The New York Times.
1. “15 million new jobs in just three years — a record,” Biden claimed.
• The Times ruled the claim needed context because the job gains “were beginning to return” before Biden came to office from the huge losses during the pandemic.
2. “My policies have attracted $650 billion in private sector investment, in clean energy, advanced manufacturing, creating tens of thousands of jobs here in America!”
• The Times ruled Biden’s statement lacked context and Biden calculated $650 billion based on “public announcements of investments — not necessarily dollars spent — across industries targeted by Mr. Biden’s legislative accomplishments.”
3. “I am cutting our carbon emissions in half by 2030.”
• The Times determined that Biden’s statement lacked context and Biden confused his goal of cutting emissions in half with what his actual policies would cut.
4. “We’ve already cut the federal deficit over a trillion dollars.”
•The Times ruled Biden’s claim needed context:
Under Mr. Biden’s watch, the federal deficit dropped to $1.4 trillion in fiscal year 2022 from $3.1 trillion in fiscal year 2021 — but much of that reduction was attributed to the expiration of coronavirus relief spending. The deficit then rose in 2023, to about $1.7 trillion. The deficit remains higher than it was before the coronavirus pandemic.
5. “You know, there are 1,000 billionaires in America. You know what the average federal tax is for these billionaires? They are making great sacrifices: 8.2 percent. That’s far less than the vast majority of Americans’ pay.”
•The Times reported Biden’s claim did not “technically” reflect the current tax rate.
6. “Many of my friends on the other side of the aisle want to put Social Security on the chopping block.”
•“Republicans are not currently calling for cuts to Social Security,” the Times said. Former President Trump, in fact, said in 2022 that he would never cut Social Security.
What a bizarre ranting and angry tirade from POTUS at SOTU! Is this his idea of unifying America? His peeps gave him the wrong meds and he is screaming like an old man “Get off my lawn!”
Sitting on the floor of the House, this is the most divisive and unbecoming SOTU address I’ve ever seen. It is nothing more than a campaign speech for the President. Unfortunate in a moment of deep division across the country with a catastrophe at our border, the world at war, and an affordability crisis across our country.
It is wildly inappropriate for a sitting President to attack and threaten the Supreme Court for upholding the constitution at the State of the Union.
Disgusting.
As we move through the final days of early voting, ending on March 2nd, I’m humbly asking for your support to send battle-tested leadership to Congress. Where I’ll fight tirelessly to secure our border, tackle the issue of wasteful government spending head-on, and work every day to ensure that our children inherit a secure and prosperous America. Join me in this crucial fight. #nc10
Alexander Michael’s Restaurant & Tavern, a longtime staple in uptown Charlotte’s Fourth Ward neighborhood, is the latest local eatery to earn a nod from Southern Living magazine. https://t.co/xaaNQltESF
Every town is a border town: illegal immigrants are being released directly into communities across the country, including right here in NC, with many given court dates seven years from now. Every community deserve a secure national border! https://t.co/3AWzc4nQeN
485 Outer is closed between Providence and John due to a fatal crash. NC Highway Patrol is the lead investigating agency. No further will be released from Matthews Fire. @NCSHP@matthewspolice@townofmatthews
Any light rail plan should have always started with the Airport. Imagine the conventions & events you could lure with a direct link to Uptown from the Airport.
After hosting a party last night at the White House while Americans remain held hostage by Hamas, Biden has called a lid at 11:51 am. He's MIA.
"We will not be seeing the president today."
