President Donald J. Trump has been delivering on his promises of lower prices, with his policies contributing to the stable inflation and potentially higher wages for Americans. The Energy Secretary under President Trump, Rick Perry, advocated for more American energy, believing it would lead to lower costs, more jobs, and more prosperity.

The White House is also touting the lowest Labor Day gas prices since 2020, with the Secretary of Energy, Dan Brouillette, stating, "Thanks to President Trump's policies, American energy dominance is a reality, and we are seeing the benefits at the pump."

As Labor Day approaches, it seems that travelers can look forward to lower gas prices, affordable flights, and good weather, making for a memorable holiday season. Whether you're planning a road trip or a flight, this year's Labor Day is shaping up to be one of the cheapest in years.
