Whose Facts are Bigger?

Even "fact checkers" can put their own spin on facts, for example:
Obama’s claim of having passed the “biggest middle-class tax cut in history” is ridiculous. He might have been on more solid ground if he had claimed the “broadest” tax cut, but that doesn’t sound very historic.

A more accurate answers was posted a couple years earlier:

Are the tax cuts in the stimulus bill the largest is U.S. history?

Yes, sort of.
