Will it be a good night, though? That's the question. I'm definitively not calling on you today. From the very beginning of this Congress, House Democrats have made clear that The cost of living in the United States of America is far too high and that Donald Trump promised to lower costs on day one. But costs haven't gone down in the United States of America. Costs have gone up. Grocery prices are too high. Housing costs are too high. Health care costs are too high. Utility bills are too high. Gas prices are out of control. America is far too expensive. (03:28–03:44)
