My Senators will oppose these moves, but I'll email them anyway. However, nothing that this administration does can be trusted, and our best bet is to look for data sources that can be relied on. Federal Reserve data is one source, blue state statistics another, and some polls. Thank you for providing good information, and it should matter to everybody.

To Do: phone/email your Congressmember and Senators and register your serious complaint, and state that you want a reply defining what they are each doing about it. Cc your attorney.
