“there is a debate right now about the cost of the Iran war. Now, this administration won't or can't give us a straight answer, but Coloradans can. They are paying $4.50 a gallon for gas that not too long ago they were getting for 2.50 a gallon. That is $25 more every time they fill up their tank. Shoppers are seeing their grocery bills go through the roof. Since January alone, the price of berries--strawberries, blueberries--has doubled. Today, the average family of four spends over $1,000 a month just on groceries, and that number keeps climbing the longer the war drags on. Mortgage rates jumped half a point in 2 months, costing most home buyers trying to buy a house over $100 additional each month. Just yesterday, President Trump admitted he doesn't ``think about Americans' financial situations.'' He doesn't think about the financial situation of Americans when making the decisions on the war in Iran-- well, finally the truth. The American people know this, and they have seen how the policies of this administration are costing lives overseas and exaggerating a cost-of-living emergency here at home. While the White House has a hard time keeping track of what it is spending on the war--there was no plan at the beginning; it doesn't seem we have a good off-ramp--American families are struggling just to deliver their basic needs.”
