Neal Statement on Trump’s Record Failure of a First Year

SPRINGFIELD, MA- Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Richard E. Neal (D-MA) blasted the failures of the Trump Administration after a year of broken promises:

"The verdict of the President's first year back in office is failure. He failed the people with his central promise to bring costs down. With nothing to show for workers and families, the President has chosen an endless pursuit of chaos and unlawfulness to line his own pocket and bend his agenda to those he favors. It's his failures that have left Americans strapped with higher prices, soaring health care costs, and dwindling opportunities in the job market.

"The President's carelessness and obsession with seizing power and territory, weaponizing the government, and bailing out his friends is putting Americans in harm's way, forced to pay for his tariffs and billionaire handouts.

"It's been a year of needless suffering, and while the Republican majority refuses any accountability, the American people see exactly what this President has delivered: higher prices, less security, and a government working for billionaires instead of them."
