Biden Gaslighting on Economy Hits New Heights With Rigged Chart – Opinion

By Pluralist / January 28, 2022

Joe Biden claimed that 1984 was the year with the highest economic growth. The chart was even published.

Are you feeling that way? Do you? The problem of course is that this is post the pandemic —  when everything was shut down. Comparing the current economic situation to an economy that is locked down is as far as one can go in propaganda.

Biden is responsible for movement alright — the movement of incredibly high inflation, the highest since 1982. It’s why the cost of everything around us has risen. Add to that the crisis in supply chains and empty shelves. Then you dare to celebrate the economy that you’ve left in a mess? Biden’s people are proud of their achievements. Tell me, why do I have to shop in three places to get a whole chicken? We don’t live in the old Soviet Union. At least we didn’t until Biden came into office.

But there’s a little more there than just their propaganda. The chart that they used to make their claim might have a minor problem along the Y axis. Notice how it goes up in increments of 1.0 but then oddly has “5.5” slipped in there, the only 0.5 on the chart? Because they have added it, it visually makes it look longer. So his “achievement” visually would look more impressive.

Not only are they trying to buffalo you on the bigger picture, but they’re also playing funny business with the chart as well.

People noticed, so this was their response: whoops, sorry, we didn’t proofread.

Do they really believe this? To make an Excel chart that looks like this, you’d have to change the formula affirmatively. Don’t give me this nonsense that you didn’t “proofread.” But then, let’s go with that lie. What other things haven’t you adequately “proofread” and checked if you would put something like this out.

The Chart Guys were unhappy with this.

Christopher Ingraham, the Executive VP of Cool Charts wasn’t buying it. He’s noticed this wasn’t their first, third, or even 36th time this has happened, according to him.

This is perhaps not surprising coming from a guy who plagiarized in law school, has ripped off other people’s remarks in his speeches, and has lied his head off from the start of his campaign. This administration is not exactly honest. But when they do things like this that are such obvious lies, they’re insulting our intelligence too, in addition to offending the chart guys.

We all know the extent of how this economy hurts people. Don’t you even try this kind of nonsense.
