ECONOMY: The current inflation rate in the U.S. is 3.4%, less than half of what it was when our previous president left office. In fact, the United States currently has the lowest inflation rate and the highest GDP of any of the G7 countries. Price increases in America are much lower than in other countries. Biden has added 13.9 million jobs since taking office; unemployment is at its lowest rate in 54 years. Trump is the only president since Hoover to lose jobs — 2.9 million.
