Biden slammed for bragging he is bringing prices down - even though they are UP since he entered office: President launches bid to take credit despite the majority of Americans disapproving of his economic record

UK Daily Mail Online   "President Joe Biden on Monday touted his administration's success in bringing down the price of gas, groceries and airline tickets during the past year but received little thanks for his efforts.

"Republicans ridiculed his claims.

" 'FACT: Since Biden took office, airfare is up 21%, Thanksgiving dinner was up 25%, and gas prices are $0.86/gallon higher,' the Republican National Committee said on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

"It illustrates the difficulty Biden faces as he tries to sell what his administration believes is an economic good news story ahead of next year's general election. 

"
Inflation may have slowed and some prices may have dropped since last year, but most prices are still higher than they were before the pandemic.
