Senator Warren Statement on August 2026 CPI

Washington, D.C. – United States Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Ranking Member of the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee released the following statement:

“Donald Trump’s failed economic agenda is driving up costs. Record high September gas prices. Rising treasury yields that are driving up mortgage and credit card bills. And today’s data confirms that Americans continued to pay more for housing, airline fare, and child care in the month of August, while their wages have failed to keep up with inflation for five consecutive months. Trump promised no new wars and lower costs ‘on day one.’ Instead, families are footing the bill for his broken promises.”
