Rep. Eric SwalwellVerified account

I'm doing OK, but I have noticed my grocery bill increase significantly in recent months. I'm not buying anything new or super expensive. For anyone living paycheck-to-paycheck already, it must be really tough to get by.

Gas was $2.65 in CA when trump took office. Now $4.03. When gas prices rise, food prices rise. Cost of transport. GWBush did the same thing. Yet poor people keep voting Rep. It’s confounding.

I’ve been saying this forever. As my grocery bill increases, gas goes up and healthcare skyrockets I don’t feel theeconomy is doing well. The effects of the tariffs hasn’t fully hit and global economies are slowing. Be afraid, recession is around the corner

Our company (after getting a tax gift from the GOP) just announced a decrease in benefits for 2019. They also raised the cost of my out of pocket health care $1000 per year. Gas, groceries, everything is more expensive. We’re getting killed out here.

Yes, I am. And in fact, my 401k is growing at 18%. That’s my retirement, so I am very glad that the stock market is growing. My college students who will be graduating into the best economy of their lifetime are thrilled. Hush, Debbie downer.

Ditto that. I love watching my IRAs growing. And my son, who will be graduating college in Fall 2019 with a Bachelors in Culinary, is super excited about the latest jobs report showing leisure & hospitality sector adding +42,000 new jobs. #winning

The story is correct, people are struggling out here. The gop either doesn’t care or doesn’t have a clue. My guess is the former.
