It’s no surprise that Joe Biden is one of the biggest liars in politics. It’s not just my opinion. Throughout his entire 50-year career, the Liar In Chief has been notorious for plagiarizing, stealing, and cheating his way to the top, and Tuesday night’s SOTU was no exception.

We knew the President was going to throw out a few fibs of his own, but after 13 lies we lost count. Here are the 13 BLATANT LIES Joe Biden tried to fool the American People with during Tuesday’s 2023 State Of The Union Address.

BIDENS CLAIMS VS. REALITY

1. CLAIM: “Some Republicans want Medicare and Social Security To Sunset” TRUTH: The biggest lie of the night. Not a single Republican has proposed this. Republicans want the promise of less spending tied to the debt ceiling, but have never suggested or said Medicare or Social Security will “sunset”
2. CLAIM: “We have created a record 12 million new jobs, more jobs created in two years than any president has ever created in four years.” TRUTH: After the vaccine was developed and COVID lockdowns lifted, businesses sprang back and rehired many who were laid off. Biden had nothing to do with any of the “jobs created”. With that said if you’re determined to give Joe Biden any credit at all for “jobs created”, the number will still be no where near the 12,000,000 mark. President Biden assumed office when the U.S. had recovered 57% of jobs lost due to 2020 Covid shutdowns. At his inauguration, the U.S. remained 9.4 million jobs short of pre-COVID numbers. According to Data.BLS.Gov, currently 12.1 million jobs since 1/2021, but only +2.7 million than pre-COVID.
3. CLAIM: “Inflation has been a global problem because of the pandemic that disrupted supply chains and Putin’s war that disrupted energy and food supplies.” TRUTH: Inflation has been on the rise long since before “Putin’s War” particularly due to the massive spending by the government.
4. CLAIM: “The Inflation Reduction Act is also the most significant investment ever to tackle the climate crisis… Lowering utility bills.” TRUTH: Con Edison in New York alone says gas bills will be up 20% this year. Renewables have not been able to keep up with demand, and regulations have only driven up the cost of fossil fuels.
5. CLAIM: “They invested too little of that profit to increase domestic production and keep gas prices down.” TRUTH: Biden canceled pipelines, would not sign new drilling licenses, and made no secret of the fact that he wanted to drive oil companies out of business.
6. CLAIM: “We pay more for prescription drugs than any major nation on Earth.” TRUTH: We are also the most innovative of any nation, with access to the latest treatments first. Other countries that have socialized medicine offer horrific health care and rock-bottom low salaries to health care professionals because they are government subsidized instead of funded by the private sector. Can’t have it both ways, Biden!
7. CLAIM: “Under my plan, nobody earning less than $400,000 a year will pay an additional penny in taxes. Not one penny. TRUTH: With the increase in the number of IRS agents they certainly will. And new “minimum” rates for corporations will be passed along to all of us. Not to mention inflation as a tax.
8. CLAIM: “Because no billionaire should pay a lower tax rate than a school teacher or a firefighter.” TRUTH: The White House claimed in a fact sheet that “In a typical year, billionaires pay an average tax rate of just 8%.” To get to that number, the White House includes unsold stock owned by the 400 wealthiest families as “income.” They would pay taxes on it if they sold it! Independent tax analysis shows that the wealthiest pay 22%-25% a year in income taxes – not lower than a schoolteacher or firefighter, who pay much less. The rich paid a WHOPPING 42.3% of all federal income taxes last year.
9. CLAIM: “In the last 2 years, my administration cut the deficit by more than $1.7 trillion – the largest deficit reduction in American history.” TRUTH: That’s only because the deficit dropped when temporary COVID stimulus spending lapsed. The national debt was roughly $27.75 trillion when Biden took office, according to the Congressional Research Service, now it’s $31.43 trillion. He grew the deficit by more than $3.6 trillion – but less than was originally projected.
10. CLAIM: “In the midst of the COVID crisis when schools were closed, let’s also recognize how far we’ve come”. TRUTH: They were closed for far too long because teacher’s unions were allowed to dictate government policy. And Biden’s response to the education crisis? Not more charter schools, zero focus on fundamentals, but more SPENDING!
11. CLAIM: “Public safety depends on public trust. But too often that trust is violated… imagine what it’s like to lose a child at the hands of the law.” TRUTH: While Tyre Nichols is a tragedy, the number of people killed by law enforcement in any year is very small – and almost all of them are armed and in the process of committing a crime. Far more young black men die from gang shootings, a very serious issue Biden failed to mention.
12. CLAIM: “Since we launched our new border plan last month, unlawful migration from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela has come down 97%. TRUTH: That number is questionable because it just looked at one week after the new year, but crossings overall are still at record highs since Biden became President.
13. CLAIM: “Today we’re in the strongest position in decades to compete with China or anyone else in the world.” TRUTH: Really Joe!? What about the massive spy balloon China just flew across the ENTIRE United States that you and your military failed to detect until civilians captured iPhone footage of the balloon over Montana? Yeah, real secure!
