With today's news that 206,000 jobs were created last month, a record 15.7 million jobs have been created under my administration. We still have a lot of work to do, but wages are rising faster than prices and more Americans are entering the workforce, with the share of working-age Americans at their highest level in 20 years. That's real progress for hard-working families who have the dignity and respect that come with earnings and food on the table.
Too many Americans still feel hamstrung by the cost of living. I am fighting to lower costs by opposing corporate price gouging, limiting the cost of insulin and prescription drugs, and calling on Congress to lower rents by building two million new homes. Republicans in Congress have a different vision, one that sides with billionaires and special interests and will increase inflation. They will impose high consumer tariffs that will cost middle-class families thousands of dollars a year, give huge tax breaks to the wealthy, repeal the Affordable Care Act, and allow big corporations to keep stealing from Americans. While they fight for Park Avenue, I will continue to fight for working families like the ones I grew up with in Scranton.
