PHILADELPHIA, PA - Congressman Brendan F. Boyle (PA-02), Ranking Member of the House Budget Committee and Dean of Pennsylvania's Democratic Congressional Delegation, released the following statement in response to President Trump's remarks on the economy during his visit to Pennsylvania:

"Donald Trump came back to Pennsylvania today to do what he does best: lie through his teeth. Two years ago, he promised Pennsylvanians he would lower costs 'on day one.' Today, he is back in my home state desperately trying to sell one of the most unpopular economies in history.

Pennsylvanians see right through his spin. The reality is, Donald Trump's reckless war in Iran and tariff taxes are driving prices through the roof. Families across our Commonwealth know better than to believe his nonsense."
