James P. McGovern Democrat
“Republicans and Donald Trump are making life more expensive for regular people. Their policies cost average Americans an extra $4,000 for basic needs like rent, healthcare, and groceries.”
“I say to the gentlewoman that I appreciate her reciting the RNC’s talking points, and I would encourage her to keep on reciting them and bring that message home, to go home and tell the American people that things are great, that things are unbelievably wonderful, and that you should thank the Republicans in Congress and Donald Trump for raising the prices on everything. Go home and sell that message to the American people. I will tell you, Mr. Speaker, we won’t have to do anything. The bottom line is that things aren’t good for people. As I said, there is a Trump tax of $4,000 on average Americans. That is what they have to pay in additional costs for everything, from rent to healthcare to groceries to you name it. That is the Trump tax. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Kamlager-Dove).”
