Proudly American, Fiercely Independent

Joe Biden job scam-dal fell into chaos this week

For four years, President Joe Biden and his fellow Democrats convinced the legacy media to report that Americans never had it so good: the economy was booming, inflation was “transitory,” and the job market was exploding like a rocket.

Turns out, the cold hard facts show it was a scam… and that has grown into a new scandal. A scam-dal, if you will.

Simply put: Democrats lied about creating millions of jobs while struggling Americans looked for work.

The economy actually produced 911,000 fewer jobs than previously reported between April 2024 and March 2025, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

The near million-job reduction represents the largest downward jobs revision in decades. “This is the largest revision in history and a MASSIVE scandal that misled millions of Americans,” declared the Republican Study Committee.

“We’ve been living in a Truman Show economy,” said Marty Bent, founder of TFTC, a news source focused on Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. “This jobs report is just the tip of the iceberg.”

The real employment figures only prove that “the labor market was weak even before” President Donald Trump took office, wrote Heather Long, chief economist at the Navy Federal Credit Union, which serves the financial needs of American servicemen. “The job market was mostly frozen in 2024, too.”

What is the reason for these “large (negative) revisions?” asks Long. “It’s mainly due to problems accounting for new/closed businesses since the pandemic.”

In other words, liberals in the federal bureaucracy and state governments forced Americans to close down during the COVID-19 pandemic, then lied about the impact—and massive “corrections” of jobs numbers become a regularly recurring feature of the Biden government, as last year’s figures show.

Last year, the BLS reported the Democrats actually created 818,000 fewer jobs between 2023 and 2024 than they had claimed. Even The New York Times noticed “ the second unusually large annual revision in a row.”

“Between this year’s revision and last year’s, job growth was overstated by approximately two million jobs,” pointed out White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

The bureau’s “mistakes” undeniably bolstered the Democrats’ presidential campaign-of-vibes last summer.

Then-President Joe Biden was so proud of his phony economic record that he screamed it at Americans in prime time.

“We’ve gone from economic crisis to strongest economy in the entire world!” Biden yelled at delegates of the 2024 Democratic National Convention last August. “Record 16 million new jobs! Record small business growth! Record high stock market! Record high 401ks! Wages up and inflation down, way down, and continuing to go down!”

The lies continued after Kamala Harris’ humiliating defeat. “The Biden Administration Handed Over a Strong Economy,” claimed the Soros-funded Center for American Progress in January.

It turned out, the only thing going down was the American worker—as the latest BLS stats prove in detail.

The new BLS figures show the leisure and hospitality industry—including restaurants and hotels—took the hardest hit in 2024-25. Apparently, fewer people ate out during the Biden administration, when inflation drowning real wages—but the Democrats’ mismanagement dragged down every sector of the economy.

From retail, to professional and business services, to wholesale trade and manufacturing, the Biden-Harris administration left all working Americans behind.

“The Biden administration didn’t LIE about non-existent jobs or the flood of illegals. They just got the two numbers mixed up,” joked Rob Jenkins, the rare right-leaning professor (of English) at Georgia State University’s Perimeter College. “Instead of millions of jobs and no illegals, there were millions of illegals and no jobs.” Honest mistake.

The White House did not laugh. “Despite opening the borders to millions of illegal aliens, the Biden economy still failed to add meaningfully more jobs than President Trump did in his first term,” said the Trump administration in a press release.

In reality, billionaires saw their net wealth increase 88 percent during the Biden years, 2020-2024, according to the liberal Institute for Policy Studies. That includes “centibillionaires”—those worth more than $100 billion. Those who made out best include Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, Facebook/Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, and 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful Michael Bloomberg.

On the other hand under President Donald Trump, working people’s wages have increased 3.7 percent year over year—and manufacturing workers saw their paychecks rise 3.9 percent compared to last year’s paycheck under Joe Biden. Inflation in the second Trump administration has held at 1.9 percent—“low and stable”—and gasoline prices and airline travel both fell to five-year lows.

And Trump “remains laser focused on implementing pro-growth policies, cutting taxes for hardworking Americans, and creating good-paying American jobs to usher in the Golden Age of America,” according to the White House.

The president has publicly urged Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell to cut interest rates, in order to lower home and auto loans

The Fed is expected to cut interest rates by a quarter of a percent at their meeting next week.

Unlike federal jobs numbers during a Democratic administration, that’s a number you can believe in.
