| As Tom Barrett and Bill Huizenga try to spin the state of their disastrous economy, here’s your reminder that Michigan families are already paying over $1,600 more on average due to Barrett and Huizenga’s cost-spiking agenda.
Here’s how Barrett and Huizenga have wrecked the economy for working families:
- Barrett and Huizenga voted to rubber-stamp Trump’s tariffs that have cost the average American household more than $1,700 each.
- Grocery costs are up by $310 under unified GOP control of Washington.
- Energy bills have increased by an average of 13%.
- 23,000 people in MI-07 are facing a 61% increase and 29,000 people in MI-04 are facing a 77% increase for their health insurance premiums due to Barrett and Huizenga’s failure to extend ACA tax credits before they expired.
And reminder: Barrett and Huizenga voted to give handouts to billionaires and big corporations instead of real tax relief to Michigan families.
DCCC Spokesperson Katie Smith:
“Tom Barrett and Bill Huizenga promised Michiganders they would fix the economy. Instead, families are struggling because Barrett and Huizenga rubber-stamped reckless tariffs and a billionaires-first agenda that has made everything from groceries to housing to health care more expensive.” |
