Democratic leaders intensified their criticism of President Donald Trump’s economic agenda on 15 July, arguing that the administration’s 145% tariff on Chinese imports and recently enacted fiscal measures are driving up living costs for U.S. households. In separate statements, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Representatives Marcy Kaptur, Judy Chu and Lois Frankel said grocery, housing, energy and health-care expenses have risen since the tariff came into force on 9 April. They contend the president’s signature tax-and-spending package, which they dubbed the “Big Bonanza Bill for Billionaires” or “Big Ugly Bill,” will further inflate prices while cutting programs such as healthcare and nutrition assistance. The lawmakers pledged to push alternative legislation aimed at lowering costs, framing the issue as a core point of contrast with the White House ahead of upcoming budget negotiations.
