Shortly after taking the oath of office, President Trump unleashed a wave of destructive executive orders, including one supposedly aimed at lowering the cost of living. But the order fails to address the main culprits of inflation, including corporate greed. Groundwork Collaborative Executive Director Lindsay Owens reacted with the following statement:
“President Trump’s cost of living executive order leaves one of the biggest sources of inflation—corporate profiteering—untouched. Perhaps that is to be expected from a president whose inauguration was adorned with the CEOs who profited handsomely from the inflation that cost American families so dearly. The American people deserve a serious plan to lower costs, and that must start by taking on the companies that are overcharging them.”
