The Congressional Progressive Caucus has unveiled its new affordability agenda to fight the skyrocketing cost-of-living crisis facing millions of people in the United States. The legislative package proposes policies for cheaper prescription medication, groceries, housing, utility bills, gas and childcare. It would also ban companies from using personal data and AI to set prices, guarantee full-time workers paid vacation time, increase overtime wages and abolish super PACs. This is Congressmember Greg Casar of Texas, chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

Rep. Greg Casar: “Donald Trump calls affordability a hoax, says surging gas prices are, quote, 'a small price to pay,' and says we don’t have the money for healthcare and childcare because he needs it for war. Every single day, Republicans in the building behind us make their rich friends richer and richer by making it harder for working people to get by. And today, we say with one voice, 'We do not have to live like this.'”
