Our economy is doing great, families are not.
As a single parent, I feel how inflation means families have to stretch their budgets further and further. While Republicans propose we solve inflation by lowering wages and upping taxes for the lowest earners, I see this moment as a chance to tackle the big issues that have been holding families back for years.
We must fight inflation by lowering costs:
- Making healthcare and prescription drugs more affordable. Big Insurance and Big Pharma are making record profits while Americans struggle to pay for the care they need.
- Ensuring families have access to reliable, affordable child care.
- Cracking down on corporate price gouging as corporations like Exxon and Chevron bring in record profits.
- Ensuring there is competition in the marketplace, which is why I’ve advocated against certain airline mergers.
- Manufacturing more technology here in the U.S.
Thanks for reading. I promise to do all I can to lower costs and make life better for families like mine and yours.
