Today, President Trump released his administration\u2019s FY2027 budget<\/a>, doubling down on an unpopular economic agenda that is raising costs and ripping away support for working families. Trump\u2019s budget proposes deep cuts to programs that help families afford energy bills and housing costs, while gutting worker protections to bankroll the Pentagon and Trump\u2019s Iran war. <\/p>\n

Since Trump launched his war on Iran, Americans have paid $8.4 billion<\/a> more at the pump, adding to rising prices driven by his tariffs and economic chaos. Just this week, Trump said it\u2019s \u201cnot possible\u201d<\/a> to help Americans afford health care or childcare because \u201cwe\u2019re fighting wars.\u201d <\/p>\n

Though just 3 in 10 voters<\/a> approve of Trump\u2019s handling of the economy and two-thirds disapprove<\/a> of his war in Iran, the president is pressing ahead with his misguided agenda instead of providing relief to American families. <\/p>\n

Groundwork\u2019s Managing Director of Policy and Advocacy Elizabeth Pancotti<\/a> reacted,<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Trump has made it abundantly clear he has no intention of providing an ounce of relief to Americans crushed under the weight of his unpopular and misguided agenda. Instead, he wants to hand the Pentagon a $500 billion blank check, paid for by gutting vital programs that help families afford heating bills, that ensure workers are protected on the job, and that provide a lifeline to small businesses. Despite pressing forward in Iran, the war he seems most interested in waging is one on the wallets of everyday Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n
