Joe Biden on Friday bragged about the performance of the economy during his presidency, saying Americans felt more 'financially comfortable' and vowing to lower prices of gas and food.
Biden's remarks came after a new report showed the job market slowed in May with 390,000 jobs added although the unemployment rate was unchanged and remained at 3.6%, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Economists praised the figure as healthy and Biden said it showed 'stable, steady growth.'
'America is in a stronger economic position today than just about any other country in the world,' he said in remarks in Rehoboth Beach, Del., where he is spending the weekend. 'Independent experts have projected that the US economy could grow faster than China's economy this year. That hasn't happened since 1976.'
Biden argued the economic stability put the United States in 'strong position to tackle what is clearly a problem - inflation.'
He again blamed the high costs of food and gas on Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of the Ukraine. But he also acknowledged the blame being placed on his administration.
'I understand that families who are struggling, probably don't care why the prices are up. They just want them to go down,' Biden said.
He said his administration would work to help people save money in other areas, such as utility bills, internet service, and prescription drugs.
'If food and gas prices are going to be elevated by Putin's price hike, one way we can make things a little better for families is by helping them save on other basic items their family needs on a monthly basis, like their utility bills, their internet bills, their prescription drug bills, and other costs like housing,' he said

Come on Man...
What planet is this old FOOL living on??? He’s sucked the USA dry for 79 years.
He’s doubling down on reducing gas prices
The people who buy this propaganda are among us.
I do not think Sniffer is just sniffing the hair of young girls.
I doubt Joe believes or understands that nonsense. It’s simply his reading assignment before pudding time.
I’m financially uncomfortable. the economy looks bleak.And all I see is disaster,especially if he provokes a nuclear attack by Putin (which it looks like he’s trying to do).
He’s MORE delusional all the time
President Gaslight
Lol we’re going into a recession. This man is delusional
I don’t know about anybody else, but watching my 401K tank by 20% and falling, seeing all my expenses increase by 20% and climbing, and not likely to get anything like a commensurate raise in pay DOES NOT make me feel economically comfortable!
Anybody that believes anything this piece of crap says is at least one of the following.
* A cynical reprobate
* Brainwashed by cynical reprobates
* Too stupid to walk and chew gum at the same time.
The Party has spoken. If anyone dares disagree, that person will be de-platformed for disinformation as found by the Ministry of Truth.
Financially comfortable? Please! I’m scared to death to open my brokerage statements until President Trump is back in office. Others braver than me state they’ve lost 20% since this doddering fool was selected.
Did branDUHn borrow some of hunter’s stash?
This guy sits down at a table near me and randomly sings the line “what a fool believes” exactly as I read this.
$4.26 to $4.29 in nw Arkansas.
Tuesday it was $3.84 to $3.86.
That is a hefty jump in 4 days.
“This is worse than the 70s with all the govt debt which we had much less of then.”
Inflation will get these politicians where it hurts. The rise in interest rates mean increased payments on the debt. Debt payments will increasingly suck up much of the budget.
He’s lying.
We know he’s lying.
He knows we know he’s lying.
At this point it is simply about humiliating us. Biden is telling us that not only will nothing be done, but that he will continue with the same destructive policies that produced the current circumstances and that there is nothing that we can do about it.
TPTB are allowing this demented imbecile to blather anything that crosses his “mind.”
What absolute rubbish! Gas is $5 where I am and a trip to the grocery is shocking.
Corner Station: $4.53 Weds. $4.79 Thurs... Nuts..
