REPORT: Missourians Spent $450 More on Energy Thanks To Ann Wagner’s War in Iran

American families have shelled out $450 more per-household in energy expenses since Ann Wagner’s war of choice in Iran began.

According to Moody’s Analytics, Republicans’ reckless war has “cumulatively cost American consumers nearly $60 billion as gas prices and airline fares have surged” and, “if prices stay at current levels, the average household could take a hit of almost $2,000 at the one-year mark of the war.”

REMINDERLess than two months ago, House Republicans held a sad press conference on Tax Day to brag about their Big, Ugly Bill. Fast forward to today, and it’s clear that the only people who benefited from the GOP Tax Scam were the wealthiest few, with any new tax savings being completely wiped out by rising costs caused by the war and other Republican policies.

DCCC Spokesperson Lindsay Reilly:
“While hardworking Missourians struggle to keep up with rising prices, Ann Wagner keeps rubber-stamping a reckless war of choice in Iran — proving once again she’ll always put D.C. party bosses first while Missourians pay the price.”
