Trump: Your kids will have less, you will pay more

WASHINGTON, DC – In response to comments President Trump made at yesterday’s cabinet meeting acknowledging that prices will go up as a  result of his unprecedented trade war, leaving American children with  less and parents paying more, Campaign for a Family Friendly Economy Executive Director Sondra Goldschein released the following statement:

“To hear an American president readily admit that his policy agenda  will leave our children with less, and parents paying more for what they  do have, is truly shocking. Donald Trump and his backers in Congress  have made it clear through their policy priorities that they do not care  about the struggles working families face. Now, he’s actually saying it  out loud. This is a stab in the back to every parent who works hard to  provide for their children.”

The Campaign for a Family Friendly Economy is fighting for a  future where all people can afford to care for themselves and their  loved ones. We do this by building political power to pass policies that  lower costs for families, like paid family and medical leave, quality,  affordable child care and elder care.
