Monopolies are never good for consumers. He's right.

How is more bureaucracy supposed to lower grocery bills?

Sounds like another kleptocrat scam to me.

Creating a more competitive environment can only benefit consumers by encouraging competition.

There are also huge regulatory hurdles in opening up a processing plant for any sort of meat, poultry, or fish processing that should be addressed.

Huge corporations have the money and influence to get around a lot of that regulatory hurdle and the cash necessary to meet said regulations that small companies could never afford to do.

We've seen the same problems in farming whereby it's damned near impossible for the family farmer or rancher to compete with the big corporations particularly in farming.

I've read the bill. There is absolutely nothing in it to create more competition. MSNBC is just blowing smoke up your ass.
