Consumer Sentiment Reaches Record Lows. The House Republican Plan to Fix It? Gut Health Care, Kill Jobs, and Raise Costs.

New reporting reveals consumers’ short-term confidence in income, business conditions, and the labor market has dropped to a 12-year low — well below the level that typically indicates an impending recession.

The House Republican plan to fix it?

• Enact the largest cut to Medicaid in history to fund massive tax cuts for their billionaire donors and wealthy corporations.

• Raise costs by imposing a de facto national sales tax on everyday goods.

• Axe Social Security by gutting staff, detonating offices, increasing phone wait times, and crashing websites.

• Fire veterans and critical staff – sending workers into an unsteady job market.

DCCC Spokesperson Justin Chermol:
“Republicans have broken their day one promise to lower the high cost of living, instead resorting to massive cuts to affordable health care to fund trillions in tax breaks for their billionaire donors. The American people will remember.”
