During Tuesday night's GOP Debate, Candidates talked about the economy, Obamacare, and China, making several claims while doing so.

The Claims included:

Ben Carson: “Every time we raise the minimum wage, the number of jobless people increases.”
Marco Rubio: "Welders make more money than philosophers."
Jeb Bush: "We could get to 4 percent growth."
Donald Trump: "(The TPP) was designed for China to come in through the back door and take advantage of everyone..."
Carly Fiorina: "Obamacare isn't really helping anybody."

GoLocal has teamed up with GraphIQ to show the data behind the statements.
