00:00What can Democrats offer to, you know, let's call it the midterms, say, here's what we can do to lower your grocery prices?
00:07We need an all-hands-on-deck effort to ensure that we're putting money back into the pockets of the American people,
00:16using the tax code to make life more affordable for everyday Americans,
00:24as opposed to enacting massive tax breaks for billionaire Republican donors.
00:32We need to make sure that the supply is sufficient enough to meet the demand that exists,
00:40because if the demand is too high and the supply of goods doesn't actually meet where the market equilibrium is at,
00:53that presents challenges as it relates to everyday Americans,
00:59we need to make sure that this country walks away from the reckless Trump tariffs,
01:05which are going to increase costs on everyday Americans by thousands of dollars a year.
01:15That means grocery costs, goods, and gas all could dramatically increase.
01:24That's probably the most immediate thing that can be done if this Congress actually,
01:32under Republican rule, was willing to act like a separate and co-equal branch of government
01:39and reassume our authority as it relates to tariff policy.
01:45But, of course, what we see Republicans consistently do is simply act like a reckless rubber stamp
01:51for Donald Trump's extreme agenda,
01:54which has nothing to do with making life more affordable for the American people.
01:59We'll see you next time.
