Public schools are failing all over the country. States like Illinois and Maryland have barely any students performing at grade level.

Schools seem more concerned with pushing woke garbage about ‘equity’ than teaching basic skills.

Despite all of these problems, far left crank Bernie Sanders is demanding more money for teachers. He wants a minimum salary of 60K for all teachers.

The Hill reports:

Sanders calls for minimum salary of $60,000 for public school teachers

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) called for a minimum salary of $60,000 for public school teachers, capitalizing on the push by President Biden in his State of the Union speech to give public school teachers a raise.

“We should be paying public school teachers a minimum of at least $60,000 a year,” Sanders said at a town hall at the Capitol on Monday night with national teachers union leaders. “I am proud to tell you I will soon be introducing legislation to do just that.”

Sanders’s call for a minimum salary for public school teachers comes after Biden made a pitch for a number of education policies during his State of the Union, including providing increased access to preschool and giving teachers a raise.

“If you want to have the best-educated workforce, let’s finish the job by providing access to preschool for 3- and 4-years-old,” Biden said in the speech. “Let’s give public-school teachers a raise.”

Sanders blasted the pay of public school teachers in the U.S., and cited rising levels of stress and increasing trends of teachers quitting as the reason why the federal government needed to support them.

He sure is good at spending other people’s money, isn’t he?

I do not think we should accept it as 'normal' in our society that billionaires get massive tax breaks while teachers in this country have to work a second job just to make ends meet.

We must pay all teachers in America at least $60,000.

According to Joe Biden, food prices are coming down. Except, they aren’t actually.

The most recent inflation report showed that prices at grocery stores went up in January.

Biden knows he can just say things like this and the media will let him get away with it.

Breitbart News reports:

Joe Biden Falsely Claims Food Prices Are ‘Continuing to Come Down’

President Joe Biden falsely claimed food prices are coming down after Tuesday’s inflation report revealed prices at the grocery store actually increased in January.

Delivering a Tuesday afternoon keynote address at the National Association of Counties, Biden falsely claimed inflation, including food prices, is coming down.

“Today’s report on inflation shows the good is that inflation in America is continuing to come down,” Biden claimed. “Food prices at the grocery store are coming down.”

But according to the consumer price index report released Tuesday morning, the price of food at home jumped 0.5 percent compared with December. Over the past 12 months, grocery prices have gone up 10.1 percent, the numbers reflecting the month of January show.

Many common grocery items dramatically increased in price, including eggs prices up 70 percent, cereals up 15.6 percent, and coffee up 12.6 percent.

Biden is not living in reality.

Biden: Food prices are coming down.

Reality: Grocery prices are up 11.8% from last year.

Food prices are up nearly 12% over the past year.

That's Joe Biden's legacy.

Biden said his economic plan is working:

LIE

1) inflation went up to 6.4%

2) food prices went 11.4%

3) Joe Biden has not reduced the deficit. His first two years were 2 of the 4 highest deficits in HISTORY

ATTENTION: Joe Biden is a pathological LIAR
