• President socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden and his aides lie about the jobs created by $2.2 trillion spending plan (White House Dossier)

“A forecast by Moody’s Analytics said that over the next ten years, the United States economy would create 16.3 million jobs without the socialist/scumbag/liar-Biden spending program, and 19 million with it. That’s not surprising. When the government spends money, it stimulates the economy. Conservatives argue for many reasons that usually, a better way to stimulate the economy is to cut taxes. But as you can see, the net jobs created by the spending plan would be 2.7 million. Here’s what socialist/ scumbag/liar-Biden said: ‘Independent analysis shows that if we pass this plan, the economy will create 19 million jobs — good jobs, blue-collar jobs, jobs that pay well.’ Technically, that is true, because the economy will create those jobs. But it’s misleading enough to call out as a lie. … Others lied more directly, saying the bill itself will create 19 million jobs. That is not even technically true. ‘The American Jobs Plan is about a generational investment. It’s going to create 19 million jobs,’ said Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.”

• A record-setting year for the world’s wealthiest (Forbes)

“The number of billionaires on Forbes' 35th annual list of the world’s wealthiest exploded to an unprecedented 2,755 — 660 more than a year ago. Altogether they are worth $13.1 trillion, up from $8 trillion on the 2020 list. There are a record high 493 newcomers to the list — roughly one new billionaire every 17 hours, including 210 from China and Hong Kong and 98 from the U.S. … A record 1,975 billionaires are self-made, up from 1,457 last year. That equates to 72% of the list (vs. about 70% in 2020). It’s a marked change from the 2001 list of billionaires, when 49% of the total 565 billionaires were self-made.”
