Pennsylvania Senate Democrats – working hard every day for EVERY Pennsylvanian

[Senator Jay Costa @Senatorcosta]

This #PAbudget recognizes that families across Pennsylvania are struggling to afford groceries, pay their skyrocketing health insurance & utility bills & put gas in their cars.

This budget aims to ease that burden by putting more money in their pockets.

While families struggle with affordability crisis and inflation, the leader of the Republican Party – Donald Trump – says:
🔵 "I love the inflation.”
🔵 "The word 'affordability' is a con job by the Democrats."
🔵 Affordability is a “fake word made up by the Democrats.”

The Head Start program provides free early childhood education, health, and family support services to children from low-income families.

President Trump plans to deregulate it by stripping away standards on health, literacy — and brushing teeth.

Companies like Exxon and Chevron reported a combined $26.5 BILLION windfall for the second quarter thanks to the war with Iran.

@POTUS has done nothing to lower prices other than to claim victory in a war that hasn't been won and fail at negotiating.

.@POTUS and Republicans have cut funding to feed hungry kids so that they can - literally - gold plate statues.

Their inability to care for Americans under their economic dumpster fire is revolting. We need leaders that actually care.

President Trump's disastrous economy has led to the biggest price jump in grocery prices in 50 YEARS!

We need leadership that actually cares about the American people and don't think that the word "affordability" is a hoax.

Republicans will do anything to keep Americans from paying attention to their destruction of the economy.

No matter the nonsense they spew, do not let them off the hook. They care about making billionaires richer than helping struggling Americans.

[PA Senate Democratic Caucus @PaSenateDems]

President Trump and Republicans' unwavering devotion to the elite continues to harm Americans as they force through tax breaks for billionaires while hurting vulnerable children.

As President "King of Debt" Trump looks to bankrupt this county financially, he refuses to help Americans with skyrocketing housing, health care and utility costs that he caused.

That's not just financial bankruptcy, that moral bankruptcy.
