Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>\u201cU.S. has had the highest economic growth rate, leading the world economies since the pandemic.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Except it didn\u2019t.

Because almost 10 million of those were simply refilled jobs lost during the pointless COVID lockdown. Under Biden, the number of net <em>new<\/em> jobs is less than 4 million \u2014 which is nothing to brag about, given that the working-age population has grown by 6.8 million since Biden took office.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>\u201cAmericans are back to work who\u2019ve been on the sidelines, and they want to come back.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Another falsehood. There are almost 10 million people who\u2019ve dropped out of the labor force as of today, which is 2.7 million <em>higher<\/em> than it was just before all the COVID lockdowns.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u201c<em>Just in my first two years in office, my team and I have reduced the deficit by $1.7 trillion.<\/em>\u201c<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>His biggest lie yet.
