Americans have paid $74.4 Billion more on gasoline & $47.5 Billion more on diesel since March 1 compared to a year ago. $122 Billion of disposable income gone up in smoke because elected Republicans refuse to say "no" to Trump.

And then the Rs cut ads saying a D "voted to raise taxes." Yes, they probably did. They voted to raise taxes on millionaires and billionaires. But because the Rs fix the system, what happens is cuts for the highest incomes and increases for the rest of us. It just makes you want to scream.
