Key Inflation Gauge Reaches Three-Year High As Republicans Hike Gas and Grocery Prices

Trump and House Republicans’ disastrous economy keeps getting worse. The Fed’s key inflation gauge has reached 3.5% year-over-year, and AAA reports that gas prices have reached an average of $4.30/gal as American consumers continue to get clobbered by Republican price hikes on everyday goods.

From blocking an extension of the ACA tax credits, supporting Trump’s tariffs, to backing his war of choice in the Middle East, House Republicans have been a rubber stamp on policies that are raising costs for hardworking families.
DCCC Spokesperson Liam Buckley:
“House Republican price hikes are hammering every part of our economy from the gas pump to the grocery store — making it harder for Americans to meet basic needs and for businesses to keep the lights on. House Republicans will pay for it in November, but it’s hardworking families who are paying for it now.”
