TALKING POINTS

1. MAGA Republicans Block Plans to Lower Costs for Americans

• At a time when Americans need help, MAGA Republicans are standing in the way of President Biden and Democrats’ plans to lower costs for Americans.
   

• Every single Republican voted against the American Rescue Plan last March which was critical to lowering health care costs, boosted ACA subsidies, and helped get millions of Americans back to work.
   

• Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans are currently holding hostage legislation that will bring manufacturing jobs back from China and strengthen supply chains.
   

• Every single Republican voted against holding oil and gas companies accountable from price gouging, as these companies rake in historic profits at the expense of struggling families.
   

• Republicans like Chuck Grassley have admitted the best chance to deliver on lowering prescription drug prices is with Democrats in power because Republicans are simply not interested in helping American families.
   

• On top of that, Republicans have promised that if they regain power they could try to RAISE costs on families by cutting Social Security and Medicare while making Trump’s tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy PERMANENT.
   

• Make no mistake about it – while Democrats are working to lower costs, Republicans are actively cheering rising costs on struggling families as a political “gold mine.”
