"This Congress has consistently stated over almost the past 100 years that, if there is no benefit to consumers, then allowing manufacturers to set retail pricing is disfavored."

"It is great to be in the time where we can deal with this particular issue and other similar issues, especially given the economic crisis that has, in part, been caused by laissez-faire attitudes."

"Even former President Ronald Reagan condemned retail price fixing because it stifles competition, and adds to inflation."

"We must stop the meltdown, and we must do so quickly and effectively."
