This week, America turns 250. While this July 4th feels a little different, many will be gathering for backyard cookouts, fireworks, and celebrating the promise that everyone deserves life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. But this year, millions of families can’t afford it. They're checking their bank accounts before buying groceries. Wondering if they can afford the gas to visit family. Deciding whether they can keep the air conditioning running to make it through another dangerous heatwave. According to our latest research, just one year after Republicans in Congress passed Trump's economic agenda, American families are now paying $2,072 to $3,569 more just to cover everyday costs. ADD YOUR NAME: Together, we’re demanding an end to Trump’s affordability crisis. Americans deserve leaders who will fight to lower costs, not help already wealthy CEOs increase prices at our expense. ACT NOW While families are stretching every dollar… That's right. As inflation climbs and Americans' bank accounts shrink, Donald Trump is readily admitting, "You know what I really love? I love the inflation." At a time when the average household is expected to spend nearly $800 just to keep their home cool this summer through dangerous extreme weather. When electricity prices are surging. When families are paying more for essentials than they were just a year ago. Spiking inflation which benefits Trump’s and Congressional Republicans’ donors while the rest of us fall further behind -- that's not something to celebrate. This Independence Day marks 250 years of the United States of America. Life has never been so expensive. If you're ready to fight for an economy that puts working families first, add your name today. ACT NOW On our 250th birthday, let's keep fighting for an economy that works for everyone -- not just wealthy CEOs and executives.
