NEW: Inflation Hit a Four-Month High in September

“US households are taking home less”

New reports show inflation in September hit a four-month high caused by Republicans’ high gas prices. The Personal Consumption Expenditures index shows that prices increased by 0.5% in September and are up 3.6% compared with the same time last year.

The price of gas and energy goods also increased by 9.2% from August to September, after a 4.4% increase from July to August. As the American people literally pay the price of Republicans’ reckless agenda, Trump says, “I don’t give a damn… We’re making a freaking fortune.”

REMINDER: Trump’s war of choice in Iran hit the eight month mark this week with $47 billion in military spending and more than $100 billion in excess consumer spending on fuel alone.

DCCC Spokesperson Bridget Gonzalez:
“Hardworking families are paying more for everything and taking home less income thanks to Republicans’ failures. Next week, voters are going to hold Republicans accountable for their broken promises.”
