# affordability

Even Fox News has given up on spinning Trump's failing economy. Prices are skyrocketing: groceries, utilities, rent, and even owning a car, with no signs of slowing down. The truth is that Trump isn’t making life more affordable for working families, he’s making it impossible to survive.

Trump claims he wants to lower housing costs, but his allies in the House just axed a bipartisan bill that UNANIMOUSLY passed the Senate to do just that. If Republicans keep blocking legislation to cut housing costs, Democrats will pass it ourselves when we take back Congress.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.
