LEADER JEFFRIES: "THIS RECKLESS AND COSTLY WAR OF CHOICE NEEDS TO END TODAY"
Today, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries spoke at a press conference, where he emphasized that while Republicans have continued to side with the chaos, cruelty and corruption of the Trump administration, House Democrats are committed to making life better for the American people.
LEADER JEFFRIES: House Democrats remain focused on making life more affordable for the American people. Donald Trump promised to lower costs on day one. Costs haven't gone down in the United States of America. Costs have gone up. The affordability crisis is real. It is not a hoax. And far too many people across this country, millions of hard-working American taxpayers, are struggling to live paycheck to paycheck. Can't thrive and can barely survive because of toxic Republican policies that have made life more expensive for the American people.
House Democrats are committed to driving down the high cost of living.Housing costs are too high, grocery bills are too high, healthcare costs are too high, gas prices are too high and utility bills are too high. America is far too expensive, and Republican policies have made a bad situation even worse. They've been a disaster as it relates to the economy, and everyday Americans know it.
Donald Trump's reckless and costly war of choice has cost everyday Americans hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars more in increased cost, particularly as it relates to gas prices. This war, this reckless and costly war of choice, needs to end today. House Democrats are going to advance a War Powers Resolution on the Floor this week. And all we need are hands full of Republicans to join us, and we can end this reckless and costly war of choice, a war that has cost the American taxpayer over a hundred billion dollars. That's extraordinary and left our country in a weaker position relative to Iran than when this reckless and costly war of choice began.
