When these idiots realize their dollars are worthless they aren't going to feel that way.

Byron York with a dose of his usual reality about the president's claims.

"Last night, in his address to a joint session of Congress, Biden outdid himself, using "crisis" or "crises" ten times as he tried to whip up a sense of urgency to support his massive spending proposals and accompanying tax increases.

Biden used the theme of "crisis" to frame the entire 65-minute speech. "Tonight, I come to talk about crisis and opportunity," he began. Biden said he inherited a nation "in crisis" on inauguration day. "The worst pandemic in a century," Biden continued. "The worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. The worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War."

All three characterizations were misleading or incomplete. "The country had come through most of the pandemic's awful months when [Biden] took office," radio host Hugh Hewitt noted Thursday morning. "The economy was roaring back to life before he took office, and no, 1/6 [the Capitol riot] was not worse than 9/11."
