Higher tariffs are contributing to rising prices for lunch boxes, notebooks, index cards and other classroom essentials – leaving families to pick up the tab. #copolitics #CostOfLiving #affordability

Back-to-school shopping is getting more expensive.

Inflation is rising, gas prices remain high and economic growth is slowing - the U.S. economy grew just 1.5% last quarter. Tariffs are another added cost to families & businesses here in Colorado. #copolitics #CostOfLiving #affordability

They promised lower gas prices. Instead, we got a war with Iran that sent the price at the pump skyrocketing to over $4 a gallon – and increasing every day. Hardworking Colorado families are paying the price for their decisions. #COPolitics

[MainstreamCO @COMainstream]

Colorado farmers are feeling the squeeze. Diesel prices up 40 percent and fertilizer prices soaring due to the Iran conflict. Our grocery bills are rising too. Our farmers don't want war or tariffs. They want lower costs and stable fuel prices. #COPolitics

[MainstreamCO @COMainstream]

Coloradans are feeling a double hit from the Iran war. With gas up $1.25 and groceries climbing due to higher shipping costs, families are losing hundreds each month. Higher prices at the pump and the store mean cutting back on everything else. #COPolitics

Tariffs will increase costs on many of the goods we consume:
Food, Health Care, Construction costs, Agriculture, Energy and more!
There will be additional costs added for products imported from Europe, South America and Asia, as the costs will be passed onto us, the consumers.

The tariffs imposed by Trump are basically a new tax on everyone in the United States.

[Senator John Hickenlooper @SenatorHick]

Don’t think anyone voted for higher prices and daily chaos. Promises made, promises broken.

[MainstreamCO @COMainstream]

Hardworking Coloradans were promised lower costs "on day one." Trump's #tarifftaxes – which are now the highest they’ve been in nearly a century – will hit Colorado families with $2,400 in higher costs this year. #COPolitics https://t.co/7Lzz8el8LD

[MainstreamCO @COMainstream]

#Tarifftaxes will raise Colorado families’ expenses by $2,400/year. That completely wipes out any benefit the bottom 40% of taxpayers might see from the GOP budget and tax scheme, and nearly wipes out any benefit for another 40% on top of that. #COPolitics

I came of age in small business. I know they’re boosters for our economy. 

Trump’s reckless tariffs are pulverizing them and pushing us towards a recession.

[MainstreamCO @COMainstream]

We grow our economy by raising incomes & lowering costs for Coloradans. Trump's #tarifftaxes push costs higher. CO families are already squeezed paying more for groceries, healthcare & housing. This isn’t a tax on other countries. It’s a tax on hardworking Coloradans. #COPolitics

[MainstreamCO @COMainstream]

Our economy grows when hardworking Coloradans' incomes go up & costs for basics-groceries, housing & more-go down. Trump’s tariffs taxes just raise prices & create chaos. The chaos makes it impossible for businesses to plan & families to make ends meet. #TariffsTaxes #COPolitics

Colorado can't afford to fall behind in attracting clean energy investment and the good-paying jobs that come with it. Losing clean energy tax credits means losing these jobs to other states or countries. #COPolitics #CleanEnergy https://t.co/BkMyQ5HPDL

[MainstreamCO @COMainstream]

Clean energy tax credits have helped create thousands of clean energy jobs in Colorado, many of them in rural areas. Losing these jobs hurts our economy and hurts these communities. #COPolitics #CleanEnergy https://t.co/sQz31MP8OQ

ACA tax credits help individuals and families afford health insurance. Without them, many will be forced to drop coverage or skip needed care. #COPolitics #AffordableHealthcare https://t.co/pThkNT79WK

[MainstreamCO @COMainstream]

Affordable coverage means fewer ER visits, earlier treatment for illnesses and protection from medical debt. Eliminating the ACA tax credits will increase costs for families and strain our health system and our economy. #COPolitics #AffordableHealthcare https://t.co/F3i0vo3HOA

SNAP helps families weather hard times. It’s one of the most effective programs to prevent hunger. Upwards of 55K Coloradans at risk of losing food assist. & ability to put food on the table for themselves & families w/ federal budget bill. #COPolitics

[MainstreamCO @COMainstream]

Upwards of 200K Coloradans are losing their healthcare from Medicaid cuts or paying more for it with ACA tax credit cuts. If hospitals shut down or hike up prices, families get stuck paying more in out-of-pocket costs or rising premiums. #COPolitics https://t.co/vR4i80ESXc
