Biden’s State Of The Union Speech Flies Through Fact Check Unscathed

https://www.politicususa.com/2022/03/02/bidens-state-of-the-union-speech-flies-through-fact-check-unscathed.html

"SNIP.......

According to an article in Nordot, professional fact-checkers agree that Americans were treated to something they haven’t seen in years, a lengthy speech by the United States President in which every assertion seems to have solid factual backing, even if the administration did a little picking and choosing as to which studies it relied upon.

It is best to admit upfront that much of the speech covered the current situation in Ukraine and the threat to democracy all over the world. It is not hard to be accurate when one is speaking in platitudes, however sincere, regarding the importance of protecting democracy and especially our commitment to Ukraine.

But even in the more technical, policy-based, portion of the speech in which Biden talked about his administration’s first-year successes, he hit the mark as truthful.

......SNIP"

Judged Biden's claim that last year more jobs were created in one year than ever before in the history of America only partially true because ... wait for it ... the government only started collecting this data in 1939.
