HUD Secretary Scott Turner told Newsmax’s American Agenda that Americans are finally seeing relief at the checkout line and at the gas pump because this administration is delivering on affordability where the last one failed. Turner made clear that under President Trump the focus has been on boosting supply, cutting waste, and restoring common-sense policies that get prices moving in the right direction.
The hard data back up what Turner said: the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported headline CPI at 2.7 percent year‑over‑year for December 2025, with core inflation easing to 2.6 percent, showing the inflationary spike is being tamed. That’s the kind of economic breathing room working Americans need after years of runaway prices under Democratic stewardship, and it proves pro-growth, America‑first policies work.
Turner specifically highlighted housing relief — noting that rents have fallen month after month in recent months as the administration tightened border security and reduced pressures on the housing market. This is not coincidence; secure borders and sensible immigration enforcement are common‑sense steps that protect American families from being priced out of neighborhoods they call home.
HUD hasn’t just talked — Turner said the department, working with loan partners, has helped more than a million Americans into homeownership since the administration took office, a crucial first step toward building generational wealth for working families. That kind of real‑world impact is what conservatives have promised for decades: empowering people, not expanding dependence on handouts.
Republicans warned that reckless spending and open‑border policies would crush family budgets, and now the results are in: targeted reforms, belt‑tightening at the federal level, and a pro‑growth agenda are producing lower costs and stronger paychecks. The One Big Beautiful Bill and other tax measures are designed to put money back into Main Street pockets, not into bloated bureaucracies, and Americans are starting to feel that difference.
Patriots who love work, family, and country should take pride in leaders who deliver affordability and opportunity instead of empty slogans. The choice is clear: continue down the path of rising costs and government controls, or double down on freedom, border security, and sound fiscal policy that makes life affordable again for ordinary Americans.
