   Joe Biden’s re-election campaign kicks into high gear this week with the   
   president and Cabinet secretaries blanketing the nation to boast about   
   Bidenomics.   
      
   But CNN reports more than half of Americans believe “the economy is still   
   in a downturn and conditions are continuing to worsen.”   
      
   The victory tour started Tuesday in Arizona.   
      
   But Biden’s slurring, disjointed speech might have reminded viewers of the   
   “authentic frontier gibberish” accolade from the 1974 movie “Blazing   
   Saddles.”   
      
   Biden couldn’t decide whether the Grand Canyon was one of the nine wonders   
   of the world or one of the seven wonders of the world.   
      
   The prez pretended his decrees prohibiting any development of millions of   
   acres would magically create prosperity.   
      
   After finishing his sparsely attended speech, Biden opted to attend a   
   fundraiser that night in Albuquerque in lieu of visiting the chaos his   
   policies unleashed at the Arizona-Mexico border.   
      
   Bidenomics is a hard sell because consumer prices have increased almost   
   17% since the president took office, real wages have fallen 4%, and   
   interest rates are at their highest level in 22 years.   
      
   Team Biden has no alternative except to “lie louder” — the same tactic   
   that’s insulated it from the media since 2021.   
      
   But how can the White House craft bigger howlers?!?   
      
   In his State of the Union address in January, Biden boasted that thanks to   
   his infrastructure law, “last year, we funded 700,000 major construction   
   projects — 700,000 all across America.”   
      
   Biden exaggerated by a hundred-fold the number of federally funded   
   projects, and even the White House issued a humiliating correction.   
      
   According to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, “Part of our job is   
   storytelling, and we need to make the case about how all of this adds up   
   into a better big picture, too.”   
      
   In 2021, CNN bashed him for exaggerating by more than 500% the likely   
   number of jobs Biden’s infrastructure plan would create.   
      
   Buttigieg’s latest stories involve heavily hyped ribbon cuttings for   
   projects that were funded before Biden’s landmark legislation was enacted.   
      
   Most of Biden’s economic achievements are shams or mirages.   
      
   After Friday’s jobs report, Vice President Kamala Harris boasted: “That   
   means, today, 187,000 more Americans are able to go to work, to provide   
   for their family and invest in their future.”   
      
   A Babylon Bee headline was closer to the truth: “White House Says   
   Bidenomics So Successful The Average American Has Twice As Many Jobs As   
   They Had Two Years Ago.”
