Malarky – “Exaggerated or foolish talk, usually intended to deceive.”

I can understand why Biden is familiar with that term, based on its definition. What’s another word for pompous, obnoxious, womanizing jerk? Biden. “The numbers aren’t good. And Biden’s rendition of them? All malarkey!” Here’s example one of the three laid out by Gerri Willis:

In the 1920s, tax rates were slashed from 70% to less than 25%, and tax revenues rose 61% by 1928. President Kennedy cut taxes across the board, taking the top marginal down to 70% from 90%. Tax revenues jumped 33% by 1968.

And, of course, there’s the example of Ronald Reagan when he proposed sweeping tax rate reductions during the 1980s. The result? Total tax revenues jumped 99.5%.
