The law is not a suggestion and the president is not a king. Trump cannot unilaterally cancel funds Congress has authorized.

IMMIGRATION: Real wages are falling. From August 2025 to August 2026, inflation-adjusted hourly earnings fell 0.3%. Increased ICE arrests reduced employment among U.S.-born men, and cities targeted by ICE raids have suffered long-term economic losses of up to $14 billion.

PRIVATE FUNDS FOR THE BALLROOM: The administration is now planning to spend $927 million on White House construction projects, including the ballroom. Most of the funding will come from taxpayers.

ECONOMIC GROWTH: Republicans’ One Big, Beautiful Bill Act did little to support economic growth. Any small economic boosts from the bill in the short-term are expected to become economic drains in the long-term.

TAX CUTS FOR WORKERS: 90% of workers making under $70,000 will not see any benefit from these new deductions. Even for those who received new tax deductions, the benefits were offset by cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. Low-income households lost more than they gained.

AFFORDABLE CHILD CARE: Trump has not prioritized any legislation to make child care more affordable and walked back his promise in April 2026. Trump also rolled back Biden’s 7% cap on child care costs, ending a program that would’ve saved families thousands of dollars per year.

TARIFFS WILL BRING THE GOLDEN AGE: Almost 90% of President Trump’s tariffs are paid by American businesses and consumers. The first year of President Trump’s tariffs cost Americans $230 billion, or over $1,700 per family.

SHRINK UTILITY PRICES: Electricity bills have risen by an average of 18% since Trump took office. The average American household spent $110 more in 2025 on their electric bills than in 2024.

BETTER HEALTH CARE: Average monthly premium payments for enrollees jumped 58% because Republicans refused to extend tax credits for people buying insurance on the ACA marketplace. Insurers are also warning of double-digit percentage point increases in 2027.

CHEAPER GROCERIES: Food prices were 3.4% higher in August 2026 compared to August 2025. More than 4.5 million people, including 1.5 million children, have lost access to SNAP as Trump’s One Big, Beautiful Bill Act has taken effect, making groceries less affordable for millions.

LOWER FUEL COSTS: As of September 23, 2026, the national average price of a gallon of gas was $4.47—50% higher than before the war in Iran began. The average household has paid an additional $876 in gas and diesel costs.

NO NEW WARS: President Trump started a war with Iran. As of September 23, 2026, 19 American service members have been killed and at least 820 wounded. It’s estimated the war has cost U.S. taxpayers and consumers at least $132 billion in its first 3 months alone.

Trump’s reckless war in Iran is making everything more expensive and pressing families to the wall. From gas to groceries and housing, Trump has created an America that is less affordable and less secure.

We need to put forth a real vision to lower costs—not another empty promise from a failing, desperate man.

$3,800. That’s how much MORE families have paid for essentials, like groceries and health care, since Trump took office, while he is focused on pretty much anything other than lowering your costs.
