Pelosi, Biden say Government Spending is ‘Reducing the National Debt,’ also Blame ‘Putin’s Gas Hike’
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi counts on the fact that her constituents and Democrats are too dumb to do their own research. She knows the likelihood is that people will not take time out of their busy, stressful and chaotic lives to fact check what she says. And so, she says anything.
During a 2022 House Democratic issues Conference Friday, Pelosi discussed the record gas prices Americans are suffering at the pump, as well as inflation and painful prices. However, she blamed it all on Putin.
Pelosi went so far as to actually label everything as Putin’s: “Putin’s tax” and “Putin’s gas hike.” Wow, Democrats haven’t given Putin so much power in the United States since he overwhelmingly elected Donald Trump. Oh wait; that wasn’t true either.
Pelosi argued global inflation “starts with [Russian President Vladimir] Putin” but we could combat it with increased U.S. government spending on domestic social programs. Pelosi demanded passing President Biden’s Build Back Better Act would help things out.
The Build Back Better Act, a multi-trillion-dollar social policy bill, was struck down in Congress well before Putin invaded Ukraine because it’s a terrible idea. Not for delusional Pelosi. “So when we’re having this discussion, it’s important to dispel some of those who say, well it’s the government spending – no, it isn’t,” said Pelosi. “The government spending is doing the exact reverse, reducing the national debt. It is not inflationary.”
“We’re paying very close attention to it, but this starts with Putin because the global inflation for reasons beyond the gas price,” she continued. “Global inflation is something that we have to deal with globally, but we have our responsibility to deal with it at home, and we have legislation that does just that, by increasing supply and, again, creating jobs in a way that is not adding to inflation.”
Also on Friday, President Biden said at a Democratic retreat in Philadelphia “I’m sick of this stuff” gesturing with his hands to suggest he’d had it up to his neck. “The American people think the reason for inflation is the government spending more money. Simply not true.”

Biden’s 60 Minutes Interview Horrifies White House: ‘Does NOT Reflect the OFFICIAL Position’
Uh oh. Someone let President Joe Biden speak by himself again and damage control immediately ensued. President Joe Biden’s “60 Minutes” interview which aired on CBS Sunday was 60 minutes of pure torture for viewers and 60 minutes of pure angst for the White House; everyone but the president himself.
60 Minutes’ official Twitter account publicly called out the President’s answers with an embarrassing statement that his own administration was in disagreement with him:
“President Biden tells 60 Minutes that U.S. men and women would defend Taiwan in the vent of a Chinese invasion. However, after our interview, a White House official told us that U.S. policy on Taiwan has not changed.”

NEW: Asked on @60Minutes if US would defend Taiwan if it came under attack, Biden — again — says yes.
PELLEY: "To be clear, sir, U.S. forces, U.S. men and women, would defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese invasion?"
BIDEN: "Yes."
(WH again says US policy hasn't changed.)

CBS’ Scott Pelley also discussed inflation; an issue drastically affecting the welfare and wellbeing of families. Biden deflected with zero sympathy:
60 Min: "What can you do better to lower inflation?"
Biden: "inflation rate month to month was just up an inch."
60 Min:"You're not arguing 8.3% is good news?"
Biden: "You're acting like all of a sudden 'my God it went to 8.2%'"
60 Min: "It's the highest rate in 40 years." pic.twitter.com/DEwugGct4d

As for President Biden’s son Joe, he is sticking with the narrative that Hunter is the “smartest” person he knows and that “there’s not a single thing that I’ve observed at all that would affect me or the United States relative to my son Hunter.”
Biden also said that while the “proof of the pudding is in the eating” in response to being asked if he is fit to be President, Biden did not commit to saying whether or not he will run for re-election. His “intention” is to run again, “but that’s just intention” he said. “Is it a firm decision that I run again? That remains to be seen.”

It would be so refreshing if Nancy Pelosi would stop lying just like all the others in the Democratic party and any Republicans that might be involved in their deliberate, intentional, and purposeful destruction of the United States of America through open-border policy, their push for Green America, etc. The United States of America needs REAL and new leadership! Wake up America…young, old, middle age, WAKE UP! Our politicians are insulting, for the most part are an embarrassment and sure aren’t putting the American citizens first.
