Q: Why did Biden claim, twice in one week, that inflation was 9% when he took office — when it was really 1.4%? Biden's Press Sec: "Well, uh, look, what the point he was making, uh, is that, uh, ..."
Trump on Biden's SOTU speech: "I thought it was terrible because he didn't talk inflation, he didn't have any ideas for inflation, and most importantly he didn't talk about energy with oil."
Biden: "I've never once spoken to Chairman Fed since I became president." 2022: "I'm meeting with Chairman to discuss my top priority, and that is addressing inflation. That's why we're meeting," the press leaves.
Biden says he has to lie about his 'progress' because otherwise Americans' economic outlooks are "locked in the fear of negative mindset," not because the inflation and overall prices are up.
