The Republican budget inflicts unnecessary pain at a time when families can’t afford it. The latest inflation report shows that prices are rising fast, despite Donald Trump’s empty promises:

• Prices at the grocery store are up, as meat, chicken, fish and dairy products are all more expensive.
• Eggs prices skyrocketed – increasing by more than 15% in just one month.
• The cost of medical care is also up – prescription drug prices increased by 2.5% and hospital and physician service costs rose as well.
• Used car and truck prices are up, as is the cost of car insurance.
• Gas prices increased by almost 2%.

Instead of taking steps that would actually help tamper rising costs, President Trump and Elon Musk are indiscriminately gutting programs Americans rely on – cancer research, childcare facilities, community health centers and more. And Trump’s tariffs threaten to raise costs even more on necessities like housing, food, and medicine
