Biden Again Misstates Amount of Recovery Act Funds He Oversaw

For the second time in two weeks, Joe Biden couldn’t remember how much he doled out during the Obama-era Recovery Act and fell well short of the actual figure.

“Eight hundred and— I don’t know, excuse me— it was 80— almost, uh, $89 billion— I guess it came to 84 at the end, 84 billion,” Biden told Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf.

Last week, he misstated the amount of dollars he doled out during the Obama-era Recovery Act by about $720 billion.

“I had the job of getting out $84 billion in 18 months in the Recovery Act,” he said.

In reality, it was $800 billion.
