In recent news, there’s been a lot of talk about President Joe Biden and his claims about inflation when he first took office in January 2021. Some people are saying that the president has been telling tall tales and outright lies about the state of inflation at the beginning of his term. While inflation was actually less than 1.5 percent when Biden became president, he has repeatedly stated that it was at nine percent. This has led to a lot of criticism and frustration from those who feel that the president is not being honest about the situation.

A group called Job Creators Network (JCN) has taken action to call out the president for his statements. They have put up a large billboard in Times Square featuring Biden’s false claim about inflation, along with a message questioning whether he thinks the American people are foolish. The group’s CEO, Alfredo Ortiz, has emphasized that consumer prices have gone up significantly under President Biden’s leadership, causing financial hardship for small businesses and families. Ortiz has accused the president of trying to rewrite history in order to avoid taking responsibility for the economic challenges facing the country.
It’s been pointed out that President Biden’s approval rating on economic matters has been low for quite some time. This suggests that many Americans are not convinced by the White House’s attempts to downplay the seriousness of the economic situation. This criticism of the president’s handling of the economy could have implications for the upcoming November election.
Overall, there is a growing sense of frustration and skepticism about President Biden’s statements regarding inflation and the economic impact of his policies. The billboard in Times Square serves as a visible symbol of this dissatisfaction and calls into question the president’s honesty and credibility on this issue.
