Biden insists he cut the federal deficit (or debt, depending on his coherence) — but his claim doesn’t stand up to basic scrutiny.

• Biden’s inflationary policies have added $6.5 TRILLION to the $35 trillion national debt and are fueling big, long-term deficits.

• Biden’s “own new laws and executive actions have significantly added to current and projected future deficits,” according to CNN’s fact checker.

• Any deficit reduction in the beginning of Biden’s presidency was due to expiring emergency COVID spending — NOT because of Biden.

• Biden’s inflationary spending has added TRILLIONS to the national debt and exploded the federal deficit, all as Biden claims he has done the opposite.

• Even The New York Times acknowledges Biden’s deficit spending is “driving up prices.”

• Despite misguided criticism from Crooked Joe Biden, President Trump’s actions during COVID were praised for saving lives and keeping the U.S. economy afloat amid an unprecedented pandemic.
