National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett on Tuesday said that the economic toll that American consumers are feeling as a result of the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran is "the last of our concerns right now."
Lieu: "I want the White House to send Kevin Hassett to every single TV channel and to every single swing House district where he can tell the voters of America that hurting consumers is 'the last of our concerns.'"

One AI Snapshot:
"In 2026, the US spends an average of $14,775 per person annually on healthcare. This figure includes all health consumption expenditures, such as hospital care, physician services, prescription drugs, and administrative costs.
With $200 billion, the US could treat approximately 13.5 million people for one year at this average cost."
Thanks for helping impoverish America, Bibi, AIPAC, and phony Christians!
