Amid record-high inflation and gas prices, a tanking stock market, and an all-time low approval rating, Joe Biden delivered remarks Tuesday touting his economic policies and insisting everything is just great in America.
Speaking at the 29th American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL–CIO) Quadrennial Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Biden claimed his economic policies have delivered “extraordinary progress.”

The economy is doing so well that Biden ordered Americans not to spread “lies” about “reckless” government spending that’s contributing to inflation.
“I don’t want to hear any more of these lies about reckless spending. We’re changing people’s lives!” Biden angrily shouted.

Biden went on to gaslight the audience that the American people “have more savings nationwide” despite a Northwestern Mutual study showing Americans have about $9,000 less in savings than this time last year.

America’s economic progress has been so stellar that Biden immediately blamed Russian President Vladimir Putin for high gas prices.

Biden’s dishonest remarks come amid a backdrop of a plunging stock market, which fell into bear market territory on Monday, along with a decimated cryptocurrency market, 8.6% inflation, record-high gas prices of $5 a gallon on average, rising food costs and shortages in some cases, and a collapsed southern border.
This may explain why Biden’s approval rating his an all-time low of 33%, and a disapproval of 54%, according to a recent Quinnipiac poll.
