“Congress raising the corporate tax rate in 2025 is an opportunity to recoup some of the truly obscene profits corporate America raked in during this period of economic upheaval for American families. It’s time Americans got their money back.”
“An institution dedicated to protecting consumers from predatory pricing tactics is exactly what Americans need right now. Strong checks on corporate power help build an economy that works for all of us."
On Bloomberg Radio’s Balance of Power today, Groundwork Collaborative’s Executive Director Lindsay Owens weighed in on the latest CPI numbers and the president’s new tariffs on China and their impact on the U.S. economy.
“Rate cuts must come soon or else people are left to struggle with high interest rates that are only making life more unaffordable.”
“It’s a shame that some lawmakers are so scornful of an agency that is saving consumers billions of dollars per year by taking on predatory late fees. We should be thanking the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for standing up for consumers when corporate traps stretch family budgets.” Groundwork's Director of Policy and Research Bilal Baydoun reacts to today’s Senate Banking Committee hearing on junk fees in the credit card industry and the housing market.
“Extending Trump’s tax law and effectively subsidizing corporate profiteering and billionaire wealth is a nonstarter. This tax law, on top of decades of failed trickle-down cuts, has come at the expense of workers and families. Groundwork Collaborative’s Executive Director Lindsay Owens reacts in response to today’s report from the Congressional Budget Office that shows extending the Trump tax cuts would add $4.6 trillion to the deficit.
“Americans have been working harder and harder to cover rising energy costs, with the understanding that supply chain snags and geopolitical forces were keeping prices high. Now the Federal Trade Commission has uncovered the real source behind the price at the pump: collusion.” Groundwork Collaborative’s Executive Director Lindsay Owens reacted.
Today, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released the April jobs report which shows that our economy added 175,000 jobs last month and unemployment ticked up to 3.9%.
“The Inflation Reduction Act’s provisions to create a sustainable, clean energy economy are ushering in a new period of economic growth. Repealing these efforts does exactly the opposite: this bill would shrink our economy and harm the workers who power it.”
Today, Groundwork Collaborative Director of Policy and Research Bilal Baydoun testified before the Senate Banking Committee at a hearing titled, “Higher Prices: How Shrinkflation and Technology Impact Consumers’ Finances,” where he outlined the rampant corporate power behind price hikes facing consumers.
