We need the cost of living to go down, but the Republican tariffs and other policies have been doing the opposite. Trump’s reckless tariffs have already cost North Carolina businesses $1.5 billion. The median household in North Carolina will lose $750 from the Trump Tax alone. Combined with Trump’s reckless tariff agenda, the median household will lose nearly $1,700 annually. With the Republican Budget Bill the average ACA coverage rate will go up almost 30 percent and nearly 900,000 people in NC will see their premiums double. Cuts to SNAP benefits could leave 1.4 million North Carolina residents — 600,000 of whom are children — without food assistance. Tens of thousands of the 100,000-plus North Carolinians employed in the clean energy industry could lose their jobs due to the loss of clean energy tax credits. Some households could see their annual electricity bills increase by 18% because of the removal of tax credits for solar and wind energy. Meanwhile the ultra-wealthy and huge corporations have been getting tax cuts and even wealthier. Our elected officials need to stop prioritizing billionaires and keep their promise to make life more affordable for Americans instead.
