Fact-checking claims from Biden's State of the Union

Biden's speech came two days after Super Tuesday, when Donald Trump tightened his grip on the Republican presidential nomination, setting up a rematch.

Inflation is about 20-30% at my house. Utilities fuel groceries insurance..

He might as well said “Trump is being attacked daily by my justice department and I love it”.

So prices were inflated at 9% rate, then items are now repriced, and now inflation has shrunk down to 3% but we still have to pay the higher prices..

Inflation has already taken its toll on the economy. It maybe getting lower but prices are still double what they were and that’ll never go down. Only up even higher. Clown

He was so accurate on the Afghanistan withdraw. 😢 😱. Expect the opposite of what he states.

Cooking the statistics. The inflation rise to a conservative 9% is damage that cant be fixed.

Inflammation is way too high, especially rent is getting to be like a house payment for one bedroom apartment.

Three percent inflation is a joke.. My milk is up nearly 300%. Eggs are up 400%. Building supplies have skyrocketed. Gas is up 150%.

Fact check the name "Lincoln Riley"

[TheHeadhunterv]

It was 2.3 when he took office…. It’s Still higher then “his predecessor’s” lol

[dragonage]

Nothing but the usual lies, and deflection, get him the hell out of office.

[michaelmckinney]

Inflation was higher than 9%. And it remains more expensive to buy groceries, gas, and electricity. Building materials are out of sight too. Come on man!

[rafaelramirez-hvjr]

It was also his policies that caused the 9% inflation 😂

[RK-jcoe]

Threatening the Supreme Court justices …. The great unifier and leader of democracy……this guy is hard to take

[DJquatermass]

The cause of inflation is money printing. Its a tax on everything.

[AwkwardTruths]

So, this is how it works (I think). Prices increased 9%, a $1 candy bar will cost $1.09. Then inflation drops to 3% but that does not mean the $1.09 candy bar decreases in price -- it means that the candy bars next price will be $1.09 x 3% or $1.12. While true that a month-over-month decrease from 9% to 3% is good, that does not take away the damage the 9% did to the economy AND that 9% is 'baked' into the cost forever (unless we have negative inflation).

The heck of inflation is only 3% the prices everywhere tells a different story
