Original Note:
Besides people still being worse off, you mean "cut by 2 percentage points". A percentage point is the difference between percentages. A value of 10% falling by 1 percentage point becomes 9% (10% has 10 percentage points). A fall of 1% would result in a value of 9.9%. https://www.mathsisfun.com/percentage-points.html https://journalistsresource.org/home/percent-change-math-for-journalists/
