Marco Rubio, U.S. Senator, R-Fla.

“It's very misleading when (President Biden) says (inflation) used to be at 9%. This is compounding. It’s not like it went down from 9% to 3%. This is building month after month. The better way to think about it is that it’s 18%, 19% over the last three years.”

PolitiFact rated this: Half True

PolitiFact says: Inflation compounds and it has risen by about 19% over the last three years. However, Rubio leaves out that wages have increased faster than prices since the pandemic, and also over the past year.

Donald Trump, Former President of the United States

“This year, the typical family’s tax bill is thousands of dollars lower because of the Trump Tax Cuts. ... if Crooked Joe Biden gets his way, you will soon be facing colossal tax HIKES.”

FactCheck.org rated this: Misleading

FactCheck.org says: Biden supports extending the tax cuts championed by Trump for people making less than $400,000. Only the top 20% of earners saw average tax savings in the "thousands" ($5,790 on average) under that tax law in 2018.
