Voters know Biden’s talking baloney on his economic record

President Joe Biden has made it clear: He’s running for reelection on his economic record.
This means he’ll have to lie through his teeth, hoping voters ignore what they see in their own wallets.
If he’s honest, he’ll lose in a landslide.
Biden began hyping his economic “progress” in Chicago last month and has kept the drumbeat going ever since.
“Inflation . . . is now down to 3%,” he tweeted just last week.
That’s true — but it soared to a record-high 9% last year and took 26 long months to come back down to its current level. (So much for the mild, “transitory” price hikes Biden promised.)
It’s also still double the rate when he took office.
And the credit for bringing it down belongs entirely to the Federal Reserve, which pushed interest rates higher at an unprecedented rate.
Biden, by contrast, is still pushing inflation up, by goosing federal spending wherever possible: His latest is a push to forgive $39 billion in student loans.
