TALARICO, AUCHINCLOSS: Trump’s blood for oil strategy is as reckless as it is illegal

"One of us is a congressman who commanded Marines in jungle training in Latin America. The other is a state representative and candidate for the U.S. Senate out of Texas, the biggest oil producer in the country. We’re both members of Majority Democrats, a group of elected leaders dedicated to rebuilding trust with the exhausted majority of Americans. Whether seen from the perspective of the military or the Texas middle class, we agree: Republicans in Congress are failing to provide a check and balance on warmongering."

A congressman on how Democrats can regain the initiative on the economy.

"Housing, healthcare, and utilities all still suffer from cost disease. Curing it...should be a prime promise from Democrats. Cut regulations that drive up costs, like zoning does for housing. Promote technology that takes out cost, particularly in hospital services. Take on special interests, like the health insurance corporations, that keep prices high.

We strive for an economy where Americans are building more, better and faster to lower prices. We reject an economy captured by middlemen or monopolists. We embrace an economy that works like Legos, not Monopoly."
