"#Americans spend more on #groceries and other essentials that they did a year ago.
Rather than honor his pledge to ease the pain, #Trump denies it even exists, calling the #costoflivingcrisis a “con job” that he doesn’t want to discuss."

Donald Trump failed to lower costs for working families, preferring instead to deny that the affordability crisis even exists.

Republicans are betting that by dividing Americans against each other, they can duck the blame for the health care apocalypse they created.

Child hunger is a problem in West Virginia: roughly one in five kids don’t have enough food. Nearly every county offers free school meals.
