Senator Kyrsten Sinema (D–AZ) and Sen. Joe Manchin, (D–WV) signed the Inflation Reduction Act. Joe Biden made remarks from the White House balcony about the bill. He continues to isolate due to having tested positive for COVID.
It sounded like Biden was trying to take a victory lap but it didn’t go well as he descended into incoherence. He wasn’t giving the remarks from the Executive Office Building with the fake stage and the big teleprompter, so he was having a tougher time trying to figure out what he was supposed to say. He was also wearing sunglasses in the shade of the balcony, so I’m not sure whether that helped or whether it was just about hiding what his eyes look like.
First, Biden stumbled all over the lie that this was the “most important step” they could take to help lower inflation.
BIDEN – “We are on the cusp passing the most significant step we can adopt to take Cong and help Congress lower inflation. The ‘Inflation Reduction Act’.”

Even though the assessment has said that it will do nothing to reduce inflation, this is still a big problem. That’s just a con job. This is not the most important step.
Biden then went way too far. I’m not even sure what he was trying to say — something about “seven Nobel laureates.” But it was just incomprehensible.

Are these the Nobel laureates?
Biden continued down the slide, saying that most Americans were concentrated on paying their bills and helping people do that is “his job.”
Biden claims that his “job”, is to assist families with their bills.
Inflation is at 9.1%, real wages are falling, 58% of Americans are living paycheck-to-paycheck, and 64% say their financial situation is getting worse.

“It’s the president’s job, too,” Biden added. It sure sounds like he doesn’t think he’s the president. This is the second day in a row where he didn’t seem to understand who was the president.
But it isn’t the job of the president to help us pay our bills, even though the Democrats want to control every aspect of our lives. Biden also believes that it is. But if it was his job, he should have gotten fired already, because he surely hasn’t made it easier to pay our bills with his bad policies. That’s part of the reason that we have the incredibly high inflation, the high gas prices, and now a recession as well.
So if this bill is going to make inflation come down — as Biden claims — a reporter asked when is that supposed to happen, if this is such a significant step.
“Mr. president, when do your expectations for inflation to come down?”

Biden did not respond. He has no answer since it isn’t going to happen. He wants the credit for doing something but then when it doesn’t do what he claims it will, he’s going to get nailed on the back end.
We are now in a terrible situation with the guy who is in charge. He can’t even tell such lies without falling over.
