George Latimer Democrat
“Almost half of Americans cannot afford the cost of living. Prices keep going up, and new tariffs will make everyday goods cost even more. Families, older people, and young people are struggling. Congress needs to focus on lowering costs instead of party politics.”
“Madam Speaker, 49 percent of Americans cannot afford the true cost of living in our Nation. The Consumer Price Index is on a steady incline, and threats of new tariffs mean even pricier receipts when shopping for everyday goods. Hardworking families worry about how they will survive until the next payday. Our elderly go without care. Young people cannot afford their future. This is not the American Dream we were promised. However, hope to return to an affordable Nation is on the horizon. The goal is simple: lower costs, rein in executive overreach, and restore trust in those in Washington that are working for you, no matter where you are in this country. It is time to put the financial stability of everyday Americans ahead of partisan agendas. I call on my colleagues in Congress to use this time to chart a path to a better, more affordable future for the American people.”
