Breitbart<\/a> posted an article last night which detailed the biggest lie told in the Democratic debate in Iowa.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Blue-collar and white-collar Americans \u201care being clobbered, they\u2019re being killed,\u201d former Vice President Joe Biden claimed at the January 14 Democrat debate in Iowa.<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, unemployment is at record lows, many sidelined Americans are getting jobs, and blue-collar wages are rising at rates not seen for many years amid President Donald Trump\u2019s new curbs on legal and illegal immigration.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article quotes Joe Biden’s remarks:<\/p>\n

Working-class people \u2014 where I come from in Pennsylvania, the places I come from in Delaware \u2014 I have great support. I have support across the board, and I\u2019m not worried about taking on Donald Trump at all. And with regard to the economy I can hardly wait to have a debate with him.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Where I come from \u2014 the neighborhoods I come from \u2014 they\u2019re in real trouble: working-class people and middle-class people. When the middle class does well, [the] working class has a way up and the wealthy do well. But what\u2019s happening now: they\u2019re being clobbered, they\u2019re being killed. They now have a situation where they [believe] \u2014 the vast majority believe \u2014 their children will never reach the stage that they reached in economic security.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love that [economic] debate because the American public is getting clobbered. The wealthy are the only ones doing well. Period. I\u2019m looking forward to the economic debate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article reports the facts:<\/p>\n

Wages for blue-collar Americans rose by 4.3 percent in 2019 \u2014 or 2.7 percent after inflation \u2014 in President Donald Trump\u2019s tightening labor market, according to a December report by Goldman Sachs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The wage gains come<\/a> amid very low inflation of just 2.1 percent in December.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Blue-collar wages are rising faster than white-collar salaries because of different demands from employers, said Tom Donohue, the CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. \u201cWhite-collar wages have been moving up over time, a bit, and the demand there, because of technology and other things, is not as high as the demand [for blue-collar skills]. \u2026 It\u2019s a reality of the market,\u201d he said January 9.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But Biden wants to increase the flow of foreign workers who will reduce wages for Americans.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBiden will work with Congress to first reform temporary visas to establish a wage-based allocation process and establish enforcement mechanisms to ensure they are aligned with the labor market and not used to undermine wages,\u201d\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0Biden\u2019s plan for legal immigration. \u201cThen, Biden will support expanding the number of high-skilled visas and eliminating the\u00a0limits on employment-based visas by country, which create unacceptably long backlogs,\u201d the plan says.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hopefully enough Americans are familiar with the actual facts to believe this garbage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
