Karen traverse, abc news, washington. Thank you and coming up cost trends for 2017. What will cost you more and less in the new year . The answers may surprise you. Youre watching world news now. World news now welcome back. 2017 may end up holding a few financial surprises for all of us. And joining us now for a look at what will cost more and what will cost us less, lets hope for more less than more in 2017. Our personal finance expert, vera gibens. Hopefully it was an inexpensive new year. It sounds like a lot will be costing more. Lets start with gas. Gas prices expected to be the highest in three years. Gas projecting prices are going to be 0. 36 higher that year than last year. 2. 49 a gallon. Costing 52 billion more this year than last year. In some of the cities like new york, chicago chicago, seattle, youre talking 3 a gallon gas. Big sticker shock for individuals. On the flip side, airfares are projected to be flat to down because of the competition between the legacy and budget carriers. Some relief there. Youre really going to feel the pain at the pump. If youre flying domestically, internationally, not so bad. Credit card debt will cost more. Thats going to be expensive in 2017. One Interest Rate hike in december. Were expecting three more. Your variable rate debt is going to get expensive in 2017 if you carry a balance on your credit card. Every quarter point hike cost you an extra 25 a year for every 1 ,000 in credit card debt. Considering the average family has over 16,000 in credit card debt, you see its going to be very expensive. We expect a few more hikes this year. Three more. And when Interest Rates go up, you really see it almost immediately on the credit card. So thats one thing to look out for. On the flip side, annual fees have been following according to analysis, theyre down five consecutive quarters because everyone is trying to get you to sign up. Theyre offering bonus points. And its interesting you mention that that it goes up immediately with credit cards. With homes and home mortgages, it takes longer. Heres the deal with home prices. Home prices are projected to raise about 4 according to zillow. Mortgage rates are at 4 . Projected to go to 5 . And every one percent change reduces affordability by about 10 . Its expensive if youre looking to buy a home. On the flip side, rent, while theyve been rising are only projected to rise 1. 4 . Its going to be some relief in sight if youre in a current unit you may not see any hike in your rent. If youre looking for a new place, you may actually have some wiggle room on price and negotiations. Things like that. That 3800 stud know apartment in new york. People are shelling out 50 of their income for rent in new york. I know. Thats too much. Plus the fees you pay initially. You say certain grocery staples. Certain ones are going up. Youre looking at fresh fruits, poultry, orange juice, olive oil sweets. Overall groceries are expected to go up as much as 2. 5 . Some items going down, avocado. Beef, pork going down. Eggs declining a little bit in terms of price. Peanut butter coming down a little bit. Depends on what youre shopping for. Overall theyre projected to rise about 2. 5 . What about Health Insurance . Controversial one. Those are going up. Premiums and deductibles are going up whether you have a plan through an employer or buying through the exchange. Generic drug prices are coming down. You hear about specialty drugs going up. You dont hear about generic prices going down, but thats going down. Why . Because theres talk now that approval from the fda may get a little looser. We could see some wiggle room on that. Well see. The bottom line is . The bottom line is things are going to go up. All right. Our personal finance expert here, vera gibbons. Good news if youre one of the 1 . If youre a saver, youll see the money go up in the cds. Good to know. Thank you. Happy new year. You too. Youre watching world news now.

With inauguration one day away the president elects choices for a cabinet are getting grilled on capitol hill as rick perry gets ready to explain why he wanted to get rid of the very department hes now tapped to run. And new developments from texas. Both george h. W. Bush and his wife, barbara have been hospitalized. And the 18yearold abducted at birth is speaking out publicly for the first time. Hear what shes saying about the woman who raised her as her own and is now behind bars. And its the hopeful tattoo earning one Dallas Cowboys fan death threats. Other fans believing the jinx that she jinxed he jinxed the season by predicting a victory. And can you go too far when it comes to team pride . Probably. Its thursday, january 19th. From abc news, this is world news now. He just crossed right over the line. I mean, i do have oscar best picture halloween tattooed to my arm. How did that work out . Nominations are next week. Well have more on the story coming up. Well start this half hour with the latest parade of cabinet picks heading to capitol hill a day before donald trump takes office. First up rick perry nominated to lead the Energy Department that he once said he wanted to get rid of. Perry may be questioned about a New York Times report that said he misunderstood what the job was. Thinking he would be an ambassador for the oil and gas industry. And a hearing for treasury secretary. Hes expected to defend his record during the housing crisis after people who lost their hopes to foreclosures were on capitol hill yesterday asking democrats to reject his nomination. And the president elects choice to run the Environmental Protection agency told senators he doesnt believe Climate Change is a hoax. Which is what trump has called it in the past. As Oklahoma Attorney general, though, scott pruitt has sued the epa 14 times. He refused to say if he could recuse himself from the ongoing cases if confirmed as head of the agency. Trumps Health Agency was pounded over plans to replace obama care as well as his stock trades. Reporter on capitol hill a crush of confirmation hearings. Massive lines of people waiting to hear from some of Donald Trumps most controversial nominees like tom price. His pick to lead the department of health and human services. Donald trump says he has a health care plan. Have you seen it . His testimony comes amid a growing outcry. Americans demanding answers on how obama care will be repealed and ri placed. Price tried to reassure lawmakers americans wont be left in the lurch. But price was pressed on the president elects promise earlier this week that his plan would include insurance for everybody. The congressman wouldnt go that far. I believe and i look forward to working with you to make sure every american has access to the highest quality and coverage and care possible. Has access to does not mean theyre guaranteed. Reporter we believe its appropriate to put in place a system that gives every person the financial feasibility to be able to purchase the coverage they want for themselves and their family. Reporter trump promised not to cut funding for medicare and medicare. Can you assure this committee that you will not cut one dollar from either medicare or medicaid . I believe the metric ought to be the care that the patients are receiving. I take that as a no . You might want to print out president elects statement. I am not going to cut medicare or medicaid and post that above your desk in your new office. Reporter price also grilled on ethics. Questions about whether he bought stock in Health Care Companies as he was writing legislation to help them. Did you buy the stock and then did you introduce a bill that would be helpful to the companies you just bought stock . N . Reporter the stock was bought by a director making those decisions. This is someone who buys stock at your direction. This is someone who buys and sells the stock you want them to buy and sell. Not true. So when you found out thats not true. Because you decide not to tell them, wink, wink, nod nod and were supposed to believe it. Reporter she didnt stop there. Asking what happened when price found out about the stock purchase. Did you take additional actions after that date to advance your plan to help the company that you now own stock in . Im offended by the insinuation. Reporter new questions about another nominee and their household staff. Its the kind of complications thats derailed nominees in years past. Wilbur ross confirming he just fired a household employee after learning they could not prove they were in the country legally. Mary bruce, abc news, capitol hill. And donald trump was back in washington last night for a pair of fundraisers. One honoring the Vice President elect and the other for his cabinet picks. He also made a surprise visit to his washington d. C. Hotel where he ditched the press before going inside for dinner. And soon to be Vice President tweet third down photo of the event earlier saying how honored he was to introduce donald trump. Organizers put the finishing touches for inauguration day, more lawmakers joined the boycott. 60 House Democrats say they will not be there tomorrow to see donald trump sworn in as the countrys 45 th president. For some trumps attack on john lewis was the last draw. Many dont want to normalize his divisive rhetoric. George h. W. Bush and his wife are undergoing treatment at a hospital. Hes in the intensive care unit after a procedure to relieve breathing problems stemming from pneumon pneumonia. As a precaution doctors decided to admit mrs. Bush. Shes in another wing of the same hospital. He was feeling sick the last few weeks from fatigue and coughing. Over the course of their 72 years, i dont think theyve ever been at the hospital at the same time. Theyve both had tremendous health throughout most of their lives, and, of course, like a lot of people that reach their upper 80s, or early 90s, they tend to confront some of these challenges on a more regular basis, and they have. Again, they got the best doctors and the best nurses at houston methodist hospital. And the bushes 72 marriage is the longest of any president ial couple in american history. Doctors arent saying when the 92yearold former president and his 91 wife will be released from the hospital. Well keep an eye on this situation throughout the morning. And president obama used part of his final News Conference at the white house to defend his decision to grant clemency to chelsea manning. Her sentence was commuted after giving hundreds of thousands of documents to wikileaks. By the time shes released from prison she will have served seven years. That was part of how the president justified his move. Chelsea manning has served a tough prison sentence. Due process was carried out that she took responsibility for her crime, that the sentence that she received was very disproportionate relative to what other leakers had received. I feel very comfortable that justice has been served. Meanwhile wikileaks founder has retreated from his pledge to accept extradition to the united states. If manning was granted clemency. Lawyers for him say what he was really asking for was an immediate pardon. Critics are using the manning case for just publicity. More rains expected. Emergency crews made dozens of high water rescues as thousands of motorists were stranded on roadways. Massive flooding shut down much of the city with residents urged to avoid travel. Schools for closed. This footage of a pedestrian rescuing that bus driver who was trapped in flood waters. Showers are expected to continue this morning before drying out a little bit later.

Days before the inauguration, the former president wrote to donald trump saying he was so sorry he and barbara couldnt travel to washington on the at advice of his doctor.

President elect donald trump sent his well wishes to the bushes by twitter. Before returning to washington to attend preinaugural fundraisers. Trump tweeted a photo of Wounded Warriors thanking them for their service and he made a top at his new d. C. Hotel for dinner before heading back to new york. Lgbt protesters danced their way through the d. C. Neighborhood where mike pence is renting a house currently. Whoa. Some moves there. This socalled Queer Dance Party was due to mike pences antigay agenda. Meanwhile, mike pence sat down to talk about obama care. Reporter donald trump said were going to have insurance for everybody. Let me be Crystal Clear about this. The administration wants to repeal obama care. But replace it with something that covers every american . The president elect made it clear to members of congress that he wants to repeal and replace obama care at the same time. It will be two different pieces of legislation. We want to repeal the individual mandates and the taxes and all those things that are putting a hardship on American Families today. He will replace it with something that covers every american . The president elect really believes in the power of the marketplace. Hes a businessman. He understands the strength of the american economy. On the campaign trail he talked consistently about his enthusiasm for allowing americans to purchase Health Insurance across state lines the way we buy life and car insurance. That was Martha Raddatz with the Vice President elect. Meanwhile, democrats being told theyre not planning to pull the rug from anybody. But tom price had to answer tough questions about his stock trades.

And as Oklahoma Attorney general, scott pruitt sued the epa 14 times. He refused to say if he would recuse himself from ongoing cases. If confirmed as the head of the agency. Pruitt did not go along with trumps previous assertion that dismissed Climate Change as a hoax. Do you agree that Global Warming is a hoax . I do not, senator. So donald trump is wrong . I dont believe that Climate Change is a hoax. And more confirmation hearings are set for today starting with rick perry for energy secretary. Also facing questioning, trumps pick to lead the Treasury Department will have some questions to answer as well. Back to texas. More rain expected.
