The other day, the Biden campaign mentioned its strategy for this election was 'quality over quantity.'
Still waiting on that 'quality' to show up, especially when whatever intern drew the short straw and had to post this steaming pile of lies on X:
Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) ~ Wages are rising faster than prices, incomes are higher than before the pandemic, and unemployment has remained below 4% for the longest stretch in 50 years.
We have more to do to lower costs for hardworking families, but we’re making real progress.

The intern that posted this steaming load of crap must've downed way too many Mezcal shots on Cinco de Mayo.
This is a lie.
Even NBC is reporting this very basic economic fact: inflation outpaced wages for quite some time, and continues to do so.
Axiomatic Enemy of the State (@DeTocqueville14) ~ {Replying to @JoeBiden} Trying to gaslight tens of millions of people who are having a hard time paying their bills into believing that they aren't really struggling is a bizarre strategy.
MAZE (@mazemoore) ~ {Replying to @JoeBiden} Your economic plan is working so well that you actually stopped calling it Bidenomics because you don’t want your name associated with the current economy.
Pismo (@Pismo_B) ~ {Replying to @JoeBiden} Fiction 👆🏻 Facts 👇🏻
Pismo (@Pismo_B) ~ {Replying to @JoeBiden} San Francisco today!!! Bidenomics!!!
Pismo (@Pismo_B) ~ {Replying to @JoeBiden} Bidenomics is a disaster for Americans!!!
Paul A. Szypula (@Bubblebathgirl) ~ {Replying to @JoeBiden} Wages are down 5% under Joe Biden. Prices are up 19%. Unemployment is low because Americans are working multiple jobs just to try to survive. None of this is something anyone should be proud of. Shame on Biden.
JD Sharp (@imjdsharp) ~ {Replying to @JoeBiden} Wages aren't coming close to inflation. The only thing that isn't 20% more expensive than before you entered office is milk. People are saving 50% less than they were before the pandemic, and unemployment is 7.5% before you changed the formula for it.
And people see this. Every single day. They know their grocery budget doesn't go as far, that it costs more to fill up their gas tank, that everything is more expensive and their paychecks don't keep up with it.
Wildfire Whispers (@WildfireWhisper) ~ {Replying to @JoeBiden} Oh yeah??? How much did YOUR groceries cost last week, Joe? Mine were $425. You are a liar, a thief, and a villain.
And anyone who buys groceries knows this.
Hbomb’s Busted Filter (@heather_wynalda) ~ {Replying to @JoeBiden} Businesses are closing and prices are rising almost as fast as your approval rating is dropping. We are living through it, Joe. Your manipulated erroneous statistics are about as effective as a COVID booster.
