Through a series of speeches, videos, and a presentation, Senator Scott will outline a roadmap to counter the rising popularity of socialism and reinvigorate the American Dream by giving everyone more opportunities to live, work, and raise a family in a safe community.\n\nTo watch the first video in Senator Rick Scott\u2019s affordability series, click HERE or on the image above.\n\nSenator Rick Scott said, \u201cThe generation coming of age today has inherited Washington\u2019s failures and are paying for them every day. They\u2019re walking into a world where the starter home their parents bought doesn\u2019t exist for them anymore. They\u2019re abandoning the idea of having children because they simply cannot afford it. More young Americans following socialists like Zohran Mamdani because the status quo has failed and they\u2019re desperate for change. We must be clear that socialism isn\u2019t the answer. It will kill the American Dream.\u201d\n\n\u201cI put together a project with one goal: to be honest with the American public about how our economy has drastically changed, how the American Dream is out of reach for so many, and most importantly - how we can fix it. Socialism will destroy America if we let it take root. If we don\u2019t act now, the American Dream will not exist for young people today, our kids, or our grandkids.\u201d\n\n\u201cStay tuned.\u201d\n\n# # #", 1, "2026-09-16T09:43:13Z", "2026-09-16T09:44:22Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.rickscott.senate.gov/2026/9/sen-rick-scott-announces-project-to-tackle-america-s-cost-of-living-crisis"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8703100029379129, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
