| Amidst an awful jobs report and mounting evidence that Trump’s reckless economic policy is raising costs and slowing growth, his latest round of sweeping tariffs that are taking effect today are poised to cause even more economic pain for Americans who are struggling nationwide.
Across the entire economy, Trump’s erratic tariffs will raise costs on everyday goods, such as:
Tariffs are also hitting America’s manufacturing sector. In the last three months, America has lost approximately 37,000 manufacturing jobs. American car manufacturers are among the hardest hit by tariffs.
What’s worse: Every single so-called moderate House Republican voted to shield Donald Trump from any oversight on his erratic trade policy.
DCCC Spokesperson Justin Chermol:
“House Republicans have stood idly by as Donald Trump destroys the U.S. economy and drives up costs for everyday families. Their abdication of oversight and congressional authority to appease their wannabe king is a disgrace — and voters will hold them accountable next year.”
REMINDER: To help voters see how much the extreme and cruel Republican agenda is costing everyday families across the country, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee recently launched HouseRepublicanPriceHike.com, an interactive tool powered with the latest price data available to show just how much more people are paying for everyday goods since House Republicans have been in the majority. |
