Technology
"Well, for starters, we have to do more to create demand for new technologies that can reduce our dependence on foreign oil and environmental degradation."
Environment
"Mr. Speaker, the time for an increase in the minimum wage has not just arrived; it is long overdue."

Economy

Government
