President Joe Biden's State of the Union address last night was fairly typical. There were platitudes about his efforts to "restore the soul of the nation" and oversee "fields of dreams" to "transform the heartland." There were tons of questionable statistics about the economy, job creation, and more, all in service of praising Democrats' massive spending packages. There were the same sorts of dubious claims that Biden has been making for years, including an assertion that despite all this spending, "nobody earning less than $400,000 a year will pay an additional penny in taxes."
One bit that stands out as either the funniest, the most pathetic, or both is Biden essentially declaring himself the nation's travel agent in chief.
