President Joe Biden’s handlers sent him out Tuesday to declare that fighting inflation is now his “top domestic priority.” But even if his “plan” weren’t a joke, why would anyone believe him, when his vow came packaged in a host of lazy lies?
Inflation, he insisted, is being driven by the pandemic (which largely ended over a year ago) and “Putin’s price hike.” For the record, it was April 14 last year that the White House insisted the already-developing inflation would be “transitory”; Biden & Co. kept that up through November, before switching to blaming it on corporate greed and now Putin.
The prez still refuses to take any responsibility for it himself. Never mind the $1.9 trillion he and his fellow Democrats pumped into an already hot recovery last spring, which is when US inflation took off (and Europe’s didn’t).
It can’t have anything to do with Dems’ spending, he actually argued, because “we brought the deficit down.” Lying liar: It’s down only because Congress has stopped dumping new trillions in the name of COVID relief. And Biden didn’t want it to stop: The Build Back Better bill he spent months trying to pass would’ve kept the spending party going.
And this year’s federal shortfall will still be the biggest non-pandemic one ever.
He won’t even own his war on domestic energy: He bragged that the nation pumped more oil in his first year than in President Donald Trump’s. Too bad it still hasn’t met the production of Trump’s last year, before Biden took over. He pitched more malarkey by talking about “unused drilling permits” — without noting how permits are just one step in a long process now tangled in red tape. (And what company will sink big money into that process when the administration has publicly vowed

P
Trump/pootin plan to bring down the US economy. Sheesh!
We’re asking about inflation, but Biden is thinking about 2 scoops of Rocky Road and a nap.
I can use the word “Ultra” in better context and where it would make sense:
Biden is Ultra Demented.
Hey, inflation is getting better!
Eventually it should be under 8% annualized! Won’t that be cool!!!
I walk through our neighborhood with my wife and we have the same discussion every time we pass a Democrat’s house-——they have “Fetterman” and “Vote Blue” signs and I say “Who the hell is willingly voting for more of this crap”?
Either they are so dumb or they’re Marxists that hate this country. My conclusion is the latter....
But they’re really GREAT lies, Mrs. Presky!
Your conclusion agrees with mine.
Today’s left is anathema to our Nation and Constitution.
Some are merely foolish and/or ignorant, but many many more are truly accomplices to evil.
Would ANYBODY with even half a brain expect a SERIAL LIAR to do anything but LIE????
The leftists near me care not a whit of the suffering Biden is causing, nor do they accept any responsibility for voting in this series of cascading disasters. As long as an R is not in charge, they’re good with all of it, and would eagerly vote for it again.
We would have been in much better shape had Jo buyme did absolutely nothing starting day one.
Ah, Firesign Theatre. I still have that album.
The leftists near me care not a whit of the suffering Biden is causing,

It’s all good until the food runs out.
Then things change.
Quickly and violently.
It’s all he’s had for the last 50 years is a recycled pack of lies even Obama used many of them with the helping hand of the media.
We do have an option with our newspapers Tass or The China Morning Post they all read alike.
Democrats, their elites, their thugs, and their base might deserve high inflation and nuclear war but the rest of us don’t...
