Higher gas prices have caused Connecticut drivers to pay $1,000,000 more per day. Diesel is at a record high, Trump’s own Fed raised interest rates because inflation is so bad, home heating oil is unaffordable, and the oil supply could be constrained even further because of the illegal Iran War.

In Connecticut, Republicans brag about killing legislation by talking. In D.C., Republicans just cancel the votes. Both result in the same higher costs for you.
