Boyle Statement on April 2026 CPI Inflation Data

WASHINGTON, DC — Today, Congressman Brendan F. Boyle (PA-02), Ranking Member of the House Budget Committee, released the following statement after the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that the annualized Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation rate for April 2026 was 3.8 percent:

“From his tariff taxes to his disastrous war in Iran, President Trump is making life even harder for American families. Today’s inflation data confirms what everyone can see: costs are out of control, and President Trump is responsible.

Instead of helping Americans struggling to make ends meet, Washington Republicans are busy trying to steal $1 billion from taxpayers to build a ballroom for Trump’s billionaire donors. President Trump and his enablers in Congress couldn’t be more out of touch.”
