Democrats have decided the best way to defend Joe Biden’s economy is to lie about it. Take Biden’s tweet from over the weekend.
Right now, real wages for the average American worker is higher than it was before the pandemic, with lower wage workers seeing the largest gains.

That's Bidenomics.
Besides being factually inaccurate, Biden notably does not use when he took office as his benchmark – the usual benchmark when you’re actually trying to determine the impact of someone’s policies. Why? Because in reality, prices are up 16.6% and real wages are down 3% since Biden took office.
And he’s not alone in making these misleading claims. His top economic advisor Jared Bernstein also ignores that wages have declined since Biden took office, and House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries has falsely claimed prices are lower and wages are higher under Biden.
Democrats don’t have a record on which they can run, so now they are just making things up. That’s “Bidenomics.”
