Democrats Just Proposed Legislation to Make Plane Tickets More Expensive

Democrats haven’t been banging the “affordability” drum quite as loud these days. Now that egg prices are down and gas prices are dropping, they’re focusing instead on defending Somali fraudsters, attacking ICE, and hating President Trump.

And it’s no wonder, because the legislation Democrats keep proposing doesn’t do anything to make life more affordable for Americans and, in most cases, makes things even more expensive. We see the impact of Obamacare subsidies, which have driven health insurance costs to skyrocket.

Now they’re pushing to make air travel more expensive by punishing airlines for delays, with a bill that would make those companies shell out cash when they cancel or postpone flights.
