President Biden's State of the Union Address DEBUNKED: Explaining Inflation, Debt, Unemployment, & More | Ep. 32

​In today's solo episode, I use sound economics to break down misleading claims from President Biden's 2023 State of the Union address and share realities on the following (see my recent newsletter for more on this):

1. Fiscal insanity is driving us down a road to insolvency which the debt ceiling confrontation should be used to rein in spending;
   
2. The responsible state budget revolution happening across the country is important; and
   
3. The truth about the recently released labor market and inflation data.
