Hello, everybody. One of America's greatest strengths is our free market. A thriving private sector1 is the lifeblood of our economy-it's how we create jobs, expand opportunities, and give everybody a shot at success. It's what has made America the strongest country on Earth.
The most essential ingredient in a healthy free market is competition. But right now, too many companies are engaging in behaviors that stifle2 competition-like blocking new competitors from entering the market or limiting the information and options that give consumers real choice. As a consequence, the rest of us pay higher prices for lower quality products and services. Workers receive lower wages than they otherwise would. Small businesses and entrepreneurs can get squeezed out of the market. And none of that is fair-or good for our economy.
