Joe Biden Tells His Biggest Whopper About Inflation Yet

Joe Biden has told a lot of whoppers about his record. From his repeated claims of creating more jobs than any president in history to claiming the border is secure, he truly has no shame. Another favorite lie of his is that he’s brought down inflation when in reality, inflation isn’t down at all. The rate of inflation has just decreased — though it’s going back up again.
