'Too bad no one's called him on it. And not just because politicians should have their fibs exposed'

The editor of RealClearMarkets has revealed a "monster whopper" told by Joe Biden that "both sides missed."
In a report at Real Clear Markets, John Tamny, who also is vice president at FreedomWorks and a senior fellow at the Market Institute, cited Biden's claim, just days ago, that he "grew up in a family where the price at the pump was felt in the kitchen."
But, the report explained, "Biden didn’t grow up in a family burdened by gasoline price spikes, and not just because he’s long overstated the humble circumstances he emerged from."
Despite Biden's latest fib, the report explained, "Biden didn’t endure food shortages related to pricey gasoline simply because he was born in 1942. When Biden was growing up, the price of gasoline was flat. And it was cheap."
He cited evidence from NASDAQ as well as Statista in confirming the flat line of gas prices up until into the 1970s.
"While gasoline is abnormally expensive now, these spikes never happened during Biden’s childhood, and as the charts make clear, they weren’t a factor for the president until he was in his early thirties, at which point he was on the verge of winning a seat in the U.S. Senate. What Biden claims about his childhood is false. Simple as that," Tamny wrote.
"Too bad no one’s called him on it. And not just because politicians should have their fibs exposed. Pundits should hold Biden accountable for uttering a blatant falsehood simply because doing so would be a 'teachable moment' extraordinaire."
He explained that until 1971, the dollar was defined as 1/35th of a gold ounce, so it was stable, and likewise were commodities.
"Biden never felt 'the price at the pump in the kitchen' growing up simply because a soaring price at the pump never factored in his childhood," the report explained. "Which is why his flamboyant mis-statement is such a worthy teachable moment. Gasoline used to be nominally cheap precisely because the dollar had a stable definition. Since then, gasoline has bounced around wildly much as oil has. With the dollar’s price no longer stable, and with the dollar having suffered bouts of weakness at times, it’s at times been the case that our dollars haven’t stretched as far as they once did. In other words, the severing of the dollar’s link to gold in 1971 was the inflationary outbreak that Americans endured in the 'Me Decade,' and the dollar’s instability since then has explained gasoline’s volatility over the last 51 years. It’s really very basic."
The claim from Biden was just another in a long list of his claims that are simply wrong.
In fact, a recent polling revealed that a huge number of Americans think Biden lied during his campaign just to get elected.
Paul Bedard in the Washington Examiner revealed the results of the Zogby poll.
He explained, "Voters are not buying President Joe Biden’s claim that he didn’t overpromise during the 2020 election but has been thwarted by the GOP, and they instead feel he lied just to get elected, according to a new survey."
The polling showed that 38.2% of the respondents said Biden has "delivered" on his campaign promises. But a plurality, 45.7%, said he was "was lying just to get elected."
"The polling analysis cited Biden’s failure to end the COVID-19 crisis, but it also noted inflation and other problems that are driving key support groups into GOP arms," Bedard explained.
The poll analysis itself explained, "There are more Democrats abandoning ship and calling for the president not to run in 2024. Things are so bad for the Democrats right now; you are starting to see Bill and Hillary Clinton reappear in public. Imagine, Democrats trotting out Hillary as the change candidate in 2024! That could make Donald Trump look appealing to swing voters!"
The Gateway Pundit also reported now that as far back as 1987 a video showed "the many lies of Joe Biden."
In the clip, the much younger Biden claims to have graduated "in the top half of my class" before he later admitted to having graduated 76th in a class of 85.
Further he claimed he was in law school of a full academic scholarship, when it actually was a half scholarship, took three degrees when it actually was one, and apparently falsely claimed to be named an outstanding political science student.
Further, Twitchy commented on a video in which Biden repeatedly lashes out at others for being liars.
"To be honest, no one who has been paying any attention at all to politics for the last fifty years was surprised to hear our kind, unity-driven president call Peter Doocy a son of a b*tch. He’s been attacking people verbally for a long, long time."
The posting warns the video compilation "is truly not safe for work because he swears a LOT," and it "isn’t even every time he’s bullied others."
