Original Note:
The $1.7 trillion reduction was caused by previously planned expiration of COVID spending. Biden's actions raised, rather than lowered, the deficit. This misleading claim has been repeated (& debunked) so often the Washington Post gave it a Bottomless Pinocchio rating. https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/07/politics/fact-check-president-biden-state-of-the-union/index.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/04/28/bidens-misleading-deficit-claim-earns-him-bottomless-pinocchio/
