In his first address to Congress since re-taking office, President Donald Trump made a lot of claims, including one about the economy that doesn't add up. "As you know, we inherited from the last administration an economic catastrophe and an inflation nightmare," President Trump said. The Consumer Price Index, a measurement of price increases, spiked at 9.1% in 2022 but had dropped to 3% by the end of the Biden administration. That's a percentage considered healthy and sustainable.
