Later that same day, he addressed economic pressures facing American families: “Last year, costs went up an average of $1,600 dollars for every American household, and $2,100 for New Hampshire families. While the administration seems to believe this isn’t a problem, I’m focused on addressing kitchen table issues and lowering costs.
