One of the only true things Biden said in his speech today was that under his policies, “average people are getting clobbered by the cost of everything today.”

One of the many things he lied about? Wages. Biden claimed “wages are up this year.” It’s a misleading claim that he’s made again and again.
The problem for Joe Biden – and for American workers – is that it’s just not true. Because Bidenflation is rising at the fastest pace in nearly 40 years, “inflation is OUTPACING the growth in wages.” Real wages have GONE DOWN by 2.4% under Biden.
Prices have skyrocketed 7% from last year, and it’s even worse for essentials – gas prices are at 7-year highs, heating costs are up by as much as 43%, and food prices have soared 9%.
Biden’s trying to lie his way out of the mess he made, but the American people aren’t buying it.
