After a full year of Republican rule in Washington, prices are rising across the board due to their reckless policies backed by Derrick Van Orden and Bryan Steil.
A new study from the Joint Economic Committee released today shows the average family in Wisconsin is spending on average $1,560 more on everyday expenses, such as housing, transportation, food, clothing, health care and utilities.
Van Orden, Steil, and their party bosses promised to lower costs for Americans on day one – but have done the exact opposite. As a result of dysfunction and chaos in the halls of Congress, nothing is getting done to lower costs – and things are just getting more expensive.
To make matters worse, Van Orden and Steil voted for the Big, Ugly Law, which is ripping health care and food assistance away from hardworking Americans, making health care and groceries more expensive in order to fund massive tax breaks to the wealthy and well-connected. This year, Republicans let ACA tax credits lapse, causing health insurance premiums to skyrocket.
The DCCC will hold Van Orden and Steil accountable for their inaction on making life more affordable.
DCCC Spokesperson Katie Smith:
“Derrick Van Orden and Bryan Steil promised to lower the high cost of living, but rising receipts and monthly bills don’t lie: Van Orden and Steil’s agenda is epically failing and Wisconsinites are ready for new leadership.”
