| Watch: Chief Economic Adviser Refuses To Admit Biden Is Lying About Inflation |
| 2024-05-18 |
| [ZeroHedge] Joe Biden’s chief economic advisor refused to admit Thursday that the president keeps telling a huge lie by claiming that inflation was at 9 percent when he took office when it was really at 1.4 percent and shot up to 9 percent under Biden himself. During an interview on Fox Business, host Neil Cavuto grilled Jared Bernstein, and told him directly “you’re lying,” and “just as bad” as Biden when he tried to dodge the matter. CAVUTO: Why does Biden keep claiming inflation was 9% when he took office — when it was actually 1.4%? After Biden took office inflation surged to rates unseen since the early 1980s, peaking at an annual rate of 9.1 percent in June 2022, a full 17 months after he became president. Yet, he keeps claiming it was ALREADY at 9 percent and that he inherited a weakened economy from Trump. |

| #9 Trying to get a government apparatchik to answer your question is like trying to pump an NPC for needed info. It’s not going to happen. If they weren’t going to stick to the script with a zombie like dedication, they would not have been cleared do an interview. |
