Americans were promised immediate action from the new administration to bring back affordability to daily life, yet they’re still paying more for the products they need every day — from groceries to apparel to electronics.
Now, with tariffs hitting thousands of goods, including from Mexico and Canada, the consensus from economic experts is that things are likely to get costlier.
Americans grow more concerned by the day about the direction of the U.S. economy and what it means for their pocketbooks — and the latest headlines prove it:

Americans can’t afford policies that force them to do more with less. Voters were clear they wanted policies that reduce costs and make life less expensive. Easing the financial burden on working- and middle-class families must be the top priority. Leaders in Washington have no time to waste.
