resident Joe Biden stubbornly refused to admit Americans' struggles with inflation might cost him the election in a rare interview Wednesday.
A growing economy could inspire confidence in Biden's leadership ahead of the election, but the issue of persistent inflation could ruin that.
Biden, who was in Wisconsin to tout his record on the economy and to announce an investment by Microsoft to build a factory, defended his handling of inflation.
Polls show voters are nervous and critical of Biden's handling of the economy and anchor Erin Burnett reminded him that grocery prices are up 30 percent.
But Biden, in his interview with CNN, claimed the polls are wrong and Americans struggling with inflation have more cash in their pockets, saying: 'They have the money to spend.'
He did admit that inflation, one of the biggest factors that sank Biden's popularity in the first half of his term, was real.
'It is real, but the fact is that if you take a look at what people have, they have the money to spend,' he claimed.
He blamed 'greedy corporations' for consumers' lack of confidence.
'It angers them and it angers me that you have to spend more. For example, the whole idea of this notion that you have... shrinkflation... It's like 20% less for the same price, that is corporate greed. It is corporate greed and we've got to deal with it.'
Many were enraged on social media by Biden's comments while Americans continue to struggle.
One critic wrote: 'Most people don’t have the money because they are honest, unlike pathological lying Joe!'

When you don’t need votes, you don’t need to care about the voters.
Well, the polls don’t take things like fake ballots and abrupt closing of polling stations and counting areas into consideration.
He needs votes. Im not sure even “the most organized election fraud program in the history of the world” can save Biden at this point. If he chooses gaslighting and/or ignorance he is doomed.

Democrat candidates in my neck of the woods are saying just that on their TV ads. They’re using the word “shrinkflation”, and they’re promising to crack down on it.
The scary part is that if they “win” (see my tagline), they might actually do a crackdown. More laws, more regulations, more harassment of businesses.
WELL SAID, Biden just does not care.
Sadly the dementia has just amplified that position so it’s not that Joey doesn’t care, JOEY CANT REMEMBER HOW TO CARE!!!!

The basic philosophy is that Market Economies are bad and lead to inflation and shortages.
But Centrally Planned Economies are double-plus good.
The Democrats intend to fix everything by just giving us more communism.
Every time he goes in front of a camera and opens his mouth, it helps President Trump.
You can’t remember what you never knew in the first place.
PedoJoe is a spoiled, coddled, rich kid, who never cared about anything, or anyone but himself, his entire life
Hunter is just the next link in the same chain.
The interview was uncomfortable to watch. I’d recommend all watch it.
Biden looks tired, and speaks akin to a “high whisper”.
I watched the reaction of the interviewer to Biden’s answers. Even she was skeptical as in “yeah, right”.
Yes, that’s it. I knew my post was missing something.
Conservatives: Free enterprise.
Liberals: Central planning.
That’s President” Clueless and Out of Touch”
Sherrod Brown just aired the “Shrinkflation” campaign commercial promising to crack down on greedy corporations. Someone should ask him what their Profit Margins are.
Exactly.
Prophet Margarine? Sherrod ain’t got no time fo’ dat.

His face is melting off from so much botox.
