The Trump-Republican Cost of Living Crisis
Donald Trump promised to lower prices on day one. He lied.
Instead, his tariffs, which amount to a national sales tax, and Republicans’ Big Ugly Law are driving up costs and squeezing family budgets.
Under Trump, billionaires win. Everyone else loses.
And while working families are struggling, Republicans are giving billionaires new tax breaks – paid for by ripping health care away from working Americans.
