Kevin Hassett: "The affordability crisis is a myth"

It's no secret that Washington has to get the national debt under control. But Republicans don't like to talk about how they wasted trillions of dollars on tax breaks for billionaires. It's time to make them pay their fair share so we can fix our debt.

Do you know why you don't hear Republicans talk about their "Big Beautiful Bill" anymore? Because they know they betrayed working people. Reversing Trump's disastrous health care cuts must be Congress's top priority so we can bring down costs for American families.

Instead of lowering costs, Trump cut health care, gave tax breaks to billionaires, and started another forever war. It’s no wonder the American people are feeling terrible about this economy — and they are right. abcnews.com/Business/con...

Americans have been loud and clear that they want affordable health care and lower costs. Instead of listening, Republicans in Washington cut Americans' health care so they could give billionaires massive tax breaks.

CNN@cnn.com · 2w ago

Premiums are expected to skyrocket for the fourth year in a row, and employees will likely pay more when they receive care, too. The increased costs will put an additional squeeze on Americans' already-tight budgets, adding to the nation's affordability crisis. https://cnn.it/4end3aI

Trump's corruption and his cost-of-living crisis are out of control. His Republican enablers in Washington have looked the other way — I won't. I will do everything in my power with @housebudgetdems.bsky.social to make Trump's administration answer for it all.

Last year, Trump and Republicans cut health care for millions of Americans and raised premiums for millions more, just so billionaires could get even more tax breaks. I'll fight like hell to reverse these cruel cuts.

The President seems to think that your tax dollars are just a slush fund he can use on his personal vanity projects. You don't need to be a legal scholar to understand this is plain wrong. I applaud this decision, which puts an end to some of Trump's obvious abuse.

A federal judge has ordered President Donald Trump to cancel any remaining television commercials paid for with millions of dollars in taxpayer money to promote his political message.

Republicans are unbelievable hypocrites on the national debt. They cut revenue by trillions so billionaires can get massive tax breaks. Any serious plan to address the debt has to include reversing these shortfalls. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

We should take the debt seriously, but that means being honest about how we got here. Spending alone didn't get us to $40 trillion. Decades of tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations have cost taxpayers trillions. Read my full op-ed in @financialtimes.com:

"My Republican colleagues who say that we got to $40 trillion because of spending alone are ignoring half the story." Read RM @congressmanboyle.bsky.social's op-ed in @financialtimes.com on America's growing national debt and the consequences of GOP tax breaks for the ultra-rich:

Trump isn't fooling anyone with his new $5,000 check stunt. I haven't seen a dime from the DOGE or tariff checks he promised over a year ago. In fact, he's done worse than give us nothing — he's costing Americans more with his tariff taxes and Iran war.

Everyone knows Trump's agenda has been a disaster for the economy. But we can start getting costs down in spite of him. As the lead Democrat on @housebudgetdems.bsky.social, I'm committed to overturning his costly tariff taxes and stopping funding for his moronic war in Iran.

For the cost of his Iran war, Trump could have extended the enhanced Affordable Care Act tax credits and kept premiums down for millions of Americans. But everyone knows he doesn't actually care about lowering costs. This president only offers publicity stunts and forever wars.

The Trump administration began sending $500 refunds on Wednesday to more than 950,000 Obamacare enrollees, an administration official told CNBC.

Americans are sick and tired of President Trump subjecting them to his taxpayer-funded vanity projects. Americans deserve a president who cares more about lowering their costs than promoting himself.

The White House has expanded a series of taxpayer-funded advertisements boosting President Trump, including a new spot that repurposes imagery and political rhetoric Trump used while campaigning for president.

"No president has the authority to ignore Congress and unilaterally cancel funding that was signed into law." Ranking Member @congressmanboyle.bsky.social's statement on the nonpartisan GAO's decision that Trump's pocket rescission is illegal:

President Trump would have you think he's a king — that he can cancel federal programs established by law and instead spend your taxes on whatever he wants. My Congressional Power of the Purse Act would stop Trump's power grabs and hold him accountable.

We haven't seen such low approval for a president on the economy since the Great Recession in 2008. But it's not a mystery why — under Trump the cost of basic needs are rising out of control, and homeownership is out of reach for too many Americans.

American families are paying so much more for basic essentials than when Trump took office. Instead of helping, he has made things worse by waging war in Iran and imposing costly new tariffs. He only has himself and his failed policies to blame.

“Donald Trump knows he can't get these cuts through Congress, so he is illegally making them through the back door.” Ranking Member @congressmanboyle.bsky.social on the Trump Administration's pocket rescission:

When you see your health care premiums rise, you can thank Republicans in Washington. Over the last year and a half, they have decided they'd rather enrich billionaires and wage war in Iran than lower your costs. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

The premium increases stem in part from rising healthcare costs, including higher prices for medical care and expensive prescription drugs.

If Republicans actually cared about waste, fraud, and abuse, they would start by asking the President why he’s enriched himself and his family off the presidency. Instead, they’d rather rip health care away from Americans while Trump continues to grift.
