That's absolutely right.
And not only that, not only have they done things actively to raise prices, right, like the tariffs, but they have also been taking away a lot of the things that we had put into place to lower prices.
So one example is the airline
requirements that we had put in place that if your flight is delayed, you know, beyond a certain number of hours, you get a refund, you get rebooked at the same price, all of those things.
They took that away.
There are settlements that were agreed to with big banks that had fleeced consumers.
And these were settlements that were already reached with those big banks.
They are quietly getting rid of them.
The companies are coming in and they're saying, okay, you know what?
We're just going to dismiss that.
And then
I wouldn't be surprised if those companies are also tied to people who are contributing to the destruction of the East Wing or to the Trump meme coin.
And so this pay to play scheme, all to benefit Trump and his billionaire buddies,
at the cost of American taxpayers is really stunning.
And I don't think that whatever they say over and over again, your life is great, your life is great.
Everybody's got to go to the store and get milk and eggs and beef and groceries and school supplies and all of those things.

This is a whole new thing because, you know, my constituents are all telling me I have so many people who have called me and said, I am not going to get health insurance because I have to pay rent and my.
premium doubled or tripled.
