What will be the biggest lie? I assume it is that courts are preventing people from being able to vote fraudulently.
Then, there might be boasts about helping certain demographics (such as olds).
None of the networks should carry this crap (remember when they had big conflicts when DJT wanted to make an address, much further from an election?), but you know they all will.
The President is taking credit for
inflation.
And the administration has absolutely squat to do with COLA increase, other than instituting most most destructive economic policies in my lifetime.
Copied from the SS website:
- The purpose of the COLA is to ensure that the purchasing power of Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits is not eroded by inflation.
- The CPI-W is determined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the Department of Labor. By law, it is the official measure used by the Social Security Administration to calculate COLAs.
Congress enacted the COLA provision as part of the 1972 Social Security Amendments, and automatic annual COLAs began in 1975. Before that, benefits were increased only when Congress enacted special legislation.
This President is laughably taking credit for causing the highest inflation in decades(Hello Jimmy Carter)
What is monumentally absurd is if the government hadn't changed the way inflation is calculated this COLA would have been, what, 18% inflation. Holy crap then this unconscious President could claim an astonishing 18% COLA increase.
Unfortunately the idiot minions will lap this BS up as "see look the President is compassionate". While in fact the COLA increase is falling below real inflation.
I would hope the Republican leadership points out the Biden administration is taking credit for causing record inflation.
