It’s nice to be a Democrat. The mainstream media can be so helpful.
Here’s the Associated Press’s fact-check about President Biden’s claim on Thursday about how much Americans would save by switching to “clean energy”:
President Joe Biden vastly overpromised Thursday when he told Americans they can expect savings of $500 a month by transitioning to renewable energy. It’s possible they might save that much over a year, not per month.
Biden addressed the subject while announcing plans to order the release of 1 million barrels of oil per day from the strategic petroleum reserve for the next six months.
Biden is grappling with fallout from surging energy prices, including gasoline that has reached an average of $4.23 per gallon, after the United States banned imports of Russian oil and gas.
The AP says Biden “misspoke”:
The Associated Press ~ President Joe Biden has told Americans they could save $500 a month by transitioning to renewable energy. An AP Fact Check shows he misspoke. The White House actually claims that using green energy might save people $500 a year, not per month.

“Misspoke”? What a load of bovine excrement.
Matt Vespa ~ He lied.
Yeah, “lied” is a much more honest way to describe it.
Saying one could possibly save $500 per month when it's actually more like $500 per year is a YUGE difference. Yep ... he lied. But, then again, ol' Joe is an inveterate, pathological liar, so ...
