   Inflation is down & #Bidenonmics is successful so Republicans lie, fearmonger, & spread #NaziLike disinformation re IMGs.

   FAIR’s numbers have been repeatedly debunked. One thing they do—which you can see them do in this graphic—is count all the future costs of educating US citizen children born in the US… but then refuse to consider the taxes & benefits those kids produce after they turn 18.

     Inflation is down

     No its not. The USD has inflated a total of 12% under biden by current numbers, it is not down.

     What you probably mean is the inflation rate, but that too isnt “down” it is “up”.. since Biden took office the inflation rate is 266% of what it was when he took office (it has more than doubled). That is as of the begining of november end of october.

     I am not a republican, in fact of the two parties I have only ever voted for democrats.. But no, the economy under biden is far from successful, he has poor numbers in almost every metric (20% increase in unemployment under him too for example). That said I am not praising Trump by any means either, but no Biden is far from an economic success story.

     FAIR’s numbers have been repeatedly debunked. One thing they do—which you can see them do in this graphic—is count all the future costs of educating US citizen children born in the country… but then refuse to consider the taxes & benefits those kids produce after they turn 18.

     Agreed entiuerly. FAIR in this infographic is trying to manipulate the numbers intentionally to support their agenda. It is clear they are not trying to give fair objective numbers as a priority. Also the idea that illegal immigration is a financial burden in general is just nonsense.
