Dealing with inflation requires the Fed to act if the problem is an overheated economy, but dealing with rising consumer prices also involves the FTC, the Department of Justice in breaking up monopolies and investigating crooked price-fixing schemes that also increase costs for hard-working families.
Warren emphasizes the need for multiple agencies to address inflation and corporate power.

I urge DOD to flatly prohibit vertical integration in the next TRICARE pharmacy contract. A vertically integrated PBM has every incentive to line its own pockets, and DOD should not be using taxpayer dollars to fund these schemes.
But if it doesn't stop the president from profiting off of crypto, and using it as a way to take bribes right out in public. Then it's not really any expedition.
U.S. trade policy should focus on creating jobs, strengthening supply chains, and lowering costs for American families — not advancing the interests of Big Tech CEOs by letting their companies run amok.
If DOD wants to use a PBM, get one that works exclusively for DOD and American taxpayers – and not one that works simultaneously to increase profits for its parent insurance company.
