Even Biden's Lies are Idiotic

Today, Joe Biden told a crowd that Republican economic plans were sketchy. Then he said "But you can't erase what you've already done, they've voted to extend tax cuts for the very wealthy, giving a $500 trillion dollar tax-cut to 120,000 families."

Where to begin? Biden says that Republicans voted to extend tax cuts for the very wealthy. THAT IS A LIE; IT WAS THE DEMOCRATS WHO VOTED FOR THOSE CUTS. In December of 2010, the House and Senate passed a bill to extend the tax cuts for the wealthy. In the House, there was a 41 vote Democrat majority at the time. In the senate, there was an 18 vote Democrat majority as well. In other words, Democrats were totally in control of both house when these cuts were passed. To top this off, the cuts were passed because they were requested by none other than president Obama who promptly signed the legislation into law. Obama told the country at the time that it was bad economic policy to raise taxes on anyone at a point when the economy was shaky. So Biden is just totally lying when he says that Republicans were the ones to give the tax breaks to the wealthy.

On top of this, Biden is obviously an idiot. The tax break for the wealthy that was passed totalled about $140 billion split over two years. When Biden says the total was $500 trillion he has made the total 3500 times higher than it actually was. Biden did not just mistake trillion for billion; he came up with a totally phony number.
