Sec. Buttigieg on Skyrocketing Gas Prices: We Should Lower the Cost of Insulin & Hold Oil Companies Accountable

EXCERPT:

BUTTIGIEG: “Look, the bottom line is that oil markets have always been volatile and can be impacted by something like a major oil producing country like Russia getting into a war. That's exactly why we should be acting as a country to reduce costs in areas that are frankly easier for policymakers to control the cost of insulin, the cost of prescription drugs, where we're really pushing for legislation that would reduce that -- that cost, making sure that we act on the president's proposal to lower the cost of childcare, lower the cost of eldercare. A lot of things that we could be doing right now that would be durable and make a huge difference in families pocketbooks, in addition to the immediate steps that are being taken to try to keep gas prices under control.”
