Madam President, this past weekend is our annual reminder as a country of the courage, suffering, sacrifice, passion, love, and energy that so many of our fellow Americans put into protecting our democracy. When in a democracy, one group…

The truth is massive corporations do not have to impose record price increases on ordinary Americans amid this pandemic.

The problems are money and politics. The big agribusinesses are paying for the regulations that are not being enforced.

Capitalism without competition is exploitation.

Thanks to President Biden's American Rescue Plan our economy is experiencing the fastest recovery in United States history.

Unfortunately, in recent decades narrow antitrust enforcement has sidelined political and social protections.

It's kind of hard to figure out why that would be the cause.

Our antitrust laws attempt to keep companies from getting too big because when you are big you have more power.

So, how do we balance the power and shift toward the fair, healthy, and climate friendly food system we desperately need?

Bringing competition to monopolies and more regulation is what Mr. St. Onge just recommended.

I want to commend her.

I think history will treat it as the right thing to do.

One of the things we have seen recently is a trend for private equity to buy up lots of homes.

So far, it has been a very large array of trespassing and glorified trespassing prosecutions of people who actually broke into the building. But it has not gone into the various rings that might have supported it or into the key fund…

I believe, Governor Brainard, that 30 percent of the consumer price index is based on housing prices.

But what struck me is that the production is not even up to the levels that they have set for themselves.

Those prices at the pumps are hurting working Americans across the country.

I want inflation to go down, and I do think we will start to see movement down.
