Sean Duffy articulates with clarity what America's golden age will look like: you will drive a Ford station wagon that guzzles gasoline, pollutes the environment, and will kill you dead if you get into an accident... and you will love it.
Sean Duffy on slashing fuel economy standards: "This rule will actually allow you to bring back the 1970s station wagon. Maybe a little wood paneling on the side. We can bring back choice to consumers."

If Republicans let ACA subsidies expire, millions will face massive premium spikes. A WV couple’s plan could jump from $300 to $4,700 a month.

This isn’t fiscal discipline, it’s a war on working families’ health & our wallets.
