How Much is the Lombardo-Trump Economy Costing Nevadans This Week? 

CNBC: Trump says ‘I love the inflation’ after consumer price index hits 3-year high

Las Vegas Sun: US households, businesses stung by higher energy prices that have pushed inflation above 4%

Welcome back to your weekly rundown of the damage the Lombardo-Trump economy is doing to Nevada — from driving up costs to leaving working families behind. 

Joe Lombardo is stumbling into the general election, only focused on caving to Donald Trump — the guy that told Nevadans “I love inflation” as inflation jumps to a three-year high because of his reckless policies. 

Instead of actually fighting for Nevadans, Lombardo said families need to “feel a little pain” from Trump’s cost-raising agenda that he backs every chance he gets. And this “pain” is only getting worse — Nevada families have had to spend an extra $2,900 on average for things like food, energy and health care because of Lombardo and Trump’s failed leadership.

As Lombardo says Trump is doing a “fantastic job,” gas prices are up 35% with Nevadans having spent $360 on average more thanks to the White House’s war with Iran (that Lombardo was quick to back). On top of rising gas costs, Nevada families and small businesses are struggling to stay afloat with beef prices at record high of $7 per pound and coffee at $10 per pound.
