CNN fact checks Biden

Post by doodle »

CNN at least fact checking Biden.
We're still looking into some of the claims Biden made, so this article is not comprehensive. But we can tell you now that he made at least four false claims -- all of them involving statistics -- about the minimum wage, undocumented immigrants, China's economy and Covid-19 vaccinations.

A tax break for racehorse owners
Biden called for community college to be made free for all. He said this would cost $9 billion. Then he added: "We spend almost that money as a break for people who own racehorses."

Facts First: There is no available evidence for the claim that the tax break for racehorse owners costs the government almost $9 billion. The White House declined to provide a source for the figure.

Something I can agree with ... Free community college ...

9 billion in tax breaks to racehorse owners seems a little high - maybe give half the tax breaks to the dog face pony soldiers

Biden and the truth are not marriage partners. Only one of the reasons why I refused to vote for him.

Ah, don't fool yourselves. This article was all about Trump. If you actually read it, Trump is mentioned (negatively of course) in almost every sentence.
