Trump exaggerated, Biden flat out lies

nothing wrong with what he said about Intel

BIDEN, on Intel’s plans for new factories in central Ohio: “Up to eight state-of-the-art factories in one place, 10,000 new jobs.”

What we know about Intel’s $20 billion bet on Ohio

"COVID-19 cases, deaths, and hospitalizations across the United States continued to decline this week, spurring roll backs of protective measures such as masking and prompting discussion about when the pandemic will end."

Trump exaggerated, Biden flat out lies

A reminder--It compares very favorably to Trump's last SOTU 2020: 14 statements with very lengthy corrections.

re inflation....read an article today that prices are being raised because THEY CAN due to people willing to pay

consumers are driving prices up by demand

during exPres, house prices in our area shot up yet people were buying houses as soon as they went on the market
people began paying over the listing price and not even doing inspections to get a house

there was a shortage of houses so the prices just kept rising and rising!
lots of bidding wars here

as far as inflation....read an article today that prices are being raised because THEY CAN due to people willing to pay

us consumers are driving prices up by demand

during exPres, house prices in our area shot up yet people were buying houses as soon as they went on the market!

there was a shortage of houses so the prices just kept rising and rising!

When the Fed raises interest rates--the usual and usually successful response to inflation--housing prices will fall because interest rates will make borrowing more expensive.

That explains my grocery and gasoline bills. We demand to eat, and our cars demand gas to run to get to work and the grocery store.

Here is the first lie joe stated:

President Biden claimed that the Republican tax cuts that former President Trump signed in 2017 benefited "the top 1% of Americans" but not "working people," unlike his American Rescue Plan, but various studies on the tax cuts tell a far different story.​

SOTU fact-check: Did the Trump tax cuts help 'the top 1%' and not 'working people,' as Biden said?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...m-2017-tax-cut-gave-83-percent-top-1-percent/

The top 1 percent in 2018 earned nearly 21 percent of adjusted gross income and paid more than 40 percent of federal taxes, according to an analysis of Internal Revenue Service data by the Tax Foundation. The Tax Foundation said that although share of income earned by the top 1 percent fell slightly from 2017 to 2018, the group’s share of federal individual income taxes rose by 1.6 percentage points, to 40.1 percent, after the tax law went into effect.
