The 3 Biggest Lies From Biden’s State of the Union Address

By Justin Haskins 

 

FTA:

 

Lie 3: “Instead of making the wealthy pay their fair share, some Republicans want Medicare and Social Security to sunset every five years.”

 

One of the most dramatic moments of the State of the Union came immediately after Biden accused Republicans of planning to “sunset” Medicare and Social Security.

 

As soon as Biden uttered those words, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy shook his head, some House Republicans shouted “no,” and congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) yelled “liar!”

 

The response from Republicans prompted Biden to go off-script and eventually acknowledge — in one of the most bizarre moments we’ve seen in decades at a State of the Union Address — that Republicans do not support eliminating Social Security and Medicare.

 

“Look, folks, the idea is that we’re not going to be — we’re not going to be moved into being threatened to default on the debt if we don’t respond,” Biden said. “So, folks, as we all apparently agree, Social Security and Medicare are off the books now, right? All right. We got unanimity.”

 

The truth is, Republicans never threatened to eliminate Social Security or Medicare. Some Republicans, such as Florida Senator Rick Scott, have said they would support a plan to sunset all federal programs every five years, but that does not mean they support eliminating them permanently. Instead, as Scott has plainly said, the goal of the sunset provision would be to “fix” and “preserve” programs like Social Security and Medicare, key responsibilities of Congress.

 

It is unfortunate that Biden chose to use this important moment in history to dishonestly attack his political opponents while exaggerating his meager achievements. It was a golden opportunity to move the country in a more positive, unified direction, and the president wasted it.

And Biden used the word Sunset, just like Scott.  What's the problem?

I think it's telling that the tactics used by so many here are roundly rejected when used by those with an opposing viewpoint.  The faux outrage is amusing.

You do realize that such humans exist, right?  It kinda puts the question of 2 genders in a different light.  Everything isn't black or white.  Often things are gray.  It's more difficult to think that way but it's the way it is.  Disapproval from you is a badge of honor.

I thought you were talking about humans who exist based on your previous post.  I was going to include Sally Jesse Raphael but I’m not certain she is still with us.  
 

Still, wow, when you think about it…

I wondered why you only mentioned humans that I don't admire (Jimmy Buffet is just not good imo).

We don't have to watch some old man trying to read a teleprompter to know the state of the union. Go outside and see this country going down the crapper. Has this country ever been worse?

Going high while they go low resulted in trump.

 

No.  What got you President Trump was screwing Bernie thus causing many of his voters to either vote for President Trump or stay home. And running a very unpopular person with extra large baggage didn't help.  Your candidate didn't go high anyway.  Basket of deplorables. Anyone that disagreed was a racist, sexist, anti Trans, homophobe ...  You did it to yourself.

Why wasn't it 100%?  CNN probably concluded making up a number of 72% by rigging the survey sample was about as high a number as might pass scrutiny.

I agree.  Hillary was a bad choice and was anointed by the DNC (my wife strongly disagrees).  She's grating.  Bernie couldn't win either tho.  We need the middle to win and he doesn't have it.  I did vote for him in the primary.  Hillary would have won had she not been caught saying deplorables.  Stupid of her.

WSJ: The State of the Union Contradiction: If Biden is such a success, why aren’t Americans pleased?

 

President Biden devoted most of his State of the Union address on Tuesday night to celebrating what he says is a long list of legislative and economic achievements—spending on social programs and public works, subsidies for computer chips, even more subsidies for green energy, and a strong labor market. But if he’s done so much for America, why does most of America not seem to appreciate it?

 

That’s the contradiction stalking his Presidency as he enters his third year and plots a likely re-election campaign. The disconnect is clear enough in the polls. His job approval rating average has climbed to 44.2% in the RealClearPolitics average, which should be better with all of that supposed good news. Gallup has it at 41%. Mr. Biden’s RCP average job approval on the economy is 38%.

 

The latest Washington Post/ABC poll is even worse for the President. Some 41% of Americans say they’re worse off financially than when Mr. Biden became President, while only 16% say they’re better off. Most people—62%—say Mr. Biden has accomplished either not very much or little or nothing. That includes 22% of Democrats.

 

And here’s the really bad news for Mr. Biden. Some 58% of Democrats say they’d prefer a different party nominee for President in 2024, and he even loses a head to head matchup with former President Trump 48%-44%. . . .

 

The President’s biggest problem is that all of his legislative victories haven’t delivered the benefits he promised. The $1.9 trillion Covid bill in March 2021 added so much cash to the economy that it helped to trigger an historic inflation. The result is that most Americans haven’t had a raise in their income after inflation in two years. This takes a shine off the low unemployment rate every time people hit the grocery store. They can see that the nearly $500 billion in spending and tax subsidies in the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022 had nothing at all to do with reducing inflation.

 

Americans also observe a fraying social consensus that has them worried about the country. Crime may not be as high as it was in the 1990s, but it has risen sharply in big cities. The record migrant surge across the border would be less worrisome if Mr. Biden seemed to care about stopping it. The fentanyl scourge isn’t his fault, but its breadth betrays a troubling decay in values.

 

As for foreign policy, Americans can see that the world is becoming more dangerous and its rogues more brazen.

 

Americans aren’t pleased, because he’s not a success, all claims by the Biden Administration and the media — but I repeat myself — notwithstanding.

The real question is what does this low viewership number show? Are the American people done with this President or are they just done with the whole thing in general?

 

Voter's remorse.

The standing O was because he made it through the crowd with out falling & the later of them if there were any (which i didn't watch & never do) were because of his impeccable reading skills along with his pronunciation .

 

And CNN wouldn't prop him up in any way either with their straight forward reporting of the truth as they see it .
