Biden Can’t Stop Lying About Cutting the National Debt

On numerous occasions Joe  Biden has falsely claimed to have reduced the national debt or budget deficit (terms he incorrectly uses synonymously), and as a new video from the RNC shows, he can’t even make up his mind as to what the fake number is.

Watch below:

While they’re all bogus numbers, the claimed “$1.7 trillion” reduction in the national debt seems to be his talking point of choice, with the timeframe of this mythical debt reduction being in his first two years in office.  

As I wrote in May 2023; When Biden took office the national debt was $27.75 trillion, and as of writing [in May 2023] it stands at $31.7 trillion [it now stands at $34.6 trillion as of March 2024]. While only Biden needs this clarified; 31.7 trillion actually a bigger number than 27.75 trillion, not 1.7 trillion smaller. 

Biden has repeated the “$1.7 trillion debt reduction” claim numerous times, and it appears that he’s confused by his own White House’s talking points. According to an ironically-named “White House fact sheet” from March of this 2023, the administration claims “President Biden cut the deficit by more than $1.7 trillion during his first two years in office.”
