(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) The backlash from President Joe Biden’s snarled challenge for critics to name a single policy failure of his administration, coupled with his embrace and gargled defense of his eponymous economic policies, continued to reverberate across social media.
The apex was arguably reached in hilariously brutal fashion when the Post Millennial asked on X for readers to “Describe Bidenomics using a gif.” Even before commentators unleashed a torrent of meme mockery, Biden contributed by setting himself up with a laundry list of lies he spewed about Bidenomics during a White House cheerleading event for his Inflation Reduction Act, which does nothing to reduce inflation.
The myths debunked by RNC Research made an interesting juxtaposition with the savage social media blitz delivered in response to Post Millennial.
BIDEN, as prices are up and real wages are down: "Bidenomics is just another way of saying 'restoring the American dream!'" pic.twitter.com/ah0Cacc5dm

During Biden’s gaslighting session he boasted that “No one making less than $400,000/year will pay a single penny more in federal taxes. It’s a commitment I’ve kept so far!”
Biden, RNC Research noted, “has *already* raised the tax burden on Americans making as little as $20,000/year.”

At one point Wednesday, Biden double-dipped into his well of misinformation, claiming he cut “the federal deficit by $1.7 trillion,” and then immediately claiming he “cut the debt $1.7 trillion.” The claims were greeted with partisan cheers, but “Neither of those things are true,” RNC Research corrected.

When he wasn’t busy once again creeping on young children, Biden assured that green energy-friendly Bidenomics was “helping families save thousands of dollars in energy bills” with tax credits for heat pumps and solar panels.
“Americans are paying $2,250 more in increased energy costs since Biden took office,” RNC Research redressed.

In an appeal to the working class who are confronted with skyrocketing prices on every front, Biden assured that “wages are growing faster than inflation,” forcing another RNC reality check when they clarified “that real wages are down 3% since Biden took office.”

RNC Research didn’t appear to directly respond to Post Millennial’s thread, but delivered its own wicked closer.
“Bidenomics” is a major drag on American families.
Here are the cold, hard facts:
🚩 Prices are up by 16.9% since Biden took office.
🚩 Real wages are down by about three percent since Biden took office.
🚩 The nationwide average for regular gas is up $1.48/gallon since Biden…
