| After a full year of Republican rule in Washington, prices are rising across the board due to the reckless policies backed by Mike Lawler.
A new study from the Joint Economic Committee released today shows the average family in New York is spending on average $2,024 more on everyday expenses, such as housing, transportation, food, clothing, health care and utilities.
Lawler and his party bosses promised to lower costs for Americans on day one – but have done the exact opposite. As a result of dysfunction and chaos in the halls of Congress, nothing is getting done to lower costs – and things are just getting more expensive.
To make matters worse, Lawler voted for the Big, Ugly Law, which is ripping health care and food assistance away from hardworking New Yorkers and making health care and groceries more expensive in order to fund massive tax breaks to the wealthy and well-connected. This year, Republicans let ACA tax credits lapse, causing health insurance premiums to skyrocket.
The DCCC will hold Lawler accountable for his inaction on making life more affordable.
DCCC Spokesperson Riya Vashi:
“Mike Lawler promised to lower the high cost of living, but rising receipts and monthly bills don’t lie: his extreme agenda is epically failing and New Yorkers are ready for new leadership.” |
