President Biden's first State of the Union address tackled Russia, Ukraine, the economy, COVID and more. How much of what he said was factual?
:"Severe cases are down to a level not seen since July of last year.": Biden overstated the improvement, omitting a statistic that remains a worrisome marker of the toll from COVID-19.
Biden also places too much weight on supply chain disruptions from overseas as a factor in the worst inflation in four decades. Although those problems indeed have been a major factor in driving up costs, inflation is increasingly showing up in other areas, such as rents and restaurant meals, that reflect the rapid growth of the economy and wages in the past year and not a global supply bottleneck. Those trends are likely to keep pushing up prices even as supply chains recover.
