Several Democratic lawmakers have criticized former President Donald Trump's tariff policies and the so-called "Big, Ugly Law," asserting that these measures have contributed to rising costs for American families. According to these representatives, Trump's tariff agenda has led to increased grocery prices, higher utility bills, and more expensive health care and housing. They argue that these policies have not lowered costs as promised but have instead exacerbated the affordability crisis, impacting essentials such as child care and everyday expenses. Democratic members of Congress are working to reverse these effects and reduce the financial burden on working families.
Prices are up because of Trump Tariffs and the #BigUGLYLaw – and everyday people are stuck footing the bill. We deserve an economy that works for all of us, not just the 1%. https://t.co/iZPZFOblxZ
Child care is unaffordable in this country — full stop. And as Trump’s reckless trade wars and inflation make everyday living harder, these costs are out of reach for far too many. Congress must act to lower costs and help working people get by. https://t.co/oKA8v9OrGQ
From groceries and utility bills to health care and housing, Donald Trump’s America is too expensive for families. But instead of working with Democrats to make life more affordable, Trump and Republicans are hiking costs with reckless tariffs and their Big, Ugly Bill.
