OPINION: I'm Michael Bennet: This is why I want Colorado's vote in the midterm election
Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet and Republican Joe O'Dea faced off in a Colorado Senate debate Friday. over the last 14 years is straightforward: people are working harder than ever, but can’t afford some combination of housing, health care, child care, or higher education. They see a middle-class life slipping away. And that was before the pandemic and global inflation.
As Washington took its hands off the wheel, dangerous headwinds gathered: national infrastructure in disrepair; broken supply chains; a health care system that covers too few and costs too much; an education system that reinforces inequality; an immigration system that leaves families in limbo and farms and businesses without labor; and an energy policy that, until recently, did nothing to fight climate change, lower prices, or secure our energy independence.
The choice in this election is whether we will build on the progress we’ve made, or revert to the failed policies that made our economy less fair, our future less bright, and our democracy at risk. Finally, we overcame Big Pharma and passed the Inflation Reduction Act, which caps the cost of prescription drugs at $2,000 a year for seniors on Medicare and finally requires Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices for the American people. It also makes the largest investment to fight climate change and secure our energy independence with a responsible transition that will expand supply , lower costs, and cut climate pollution by 40 percent.
