Schatz: Trump Is Making People Poorer On Purpose

U.S. Senator Brian Schatz (D-Hawai‘i) spoke on the Senate floor about the various ways President Donald Trump is raising prices for Americans, including on food, health care, electricity, home insurance, and Christmas gifts. Schatz highlighted how Trump’s policies, including tariffs and regulatory rollbacks, have sharply driven up prices across Americans’ daily lives. Schatz’s comments come ahead of a Senate vote this week to extend Affordable Care Act premium tax credits and prevent people’s health care premiums from more than doubling starting next month.
