Veterans’ Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act of 2025OPPOSE

“Donald Trump's reckless and costly war of choice in Iran has skyrocketed gas prices on everyday Americans who are already suffering from the failed Republican economy and drowning in its poor management. Now, Donald Trump has made several promises to the American people upon his return to the White House, all of which it appears to me he has failed to keep. Donald Trump promised to lower the high cost of living on day one, but costs in America haven't gone down.”
