Inflation is at a 40-year high, with surging gas, food and housing costs. Supply chain issues have led to shortages in just about everything. We have gone from energy independent, to begging other countries to produce more oil. The growing federal bureaucracy and over-regulation is punishing small businesses. We need people in Washington to remember Government works for us, not against us.
Politicians always talk about the money they bring back to the district or their success in passing bills without any regard to what these bills cost. Last year the government spent almost $7 trillion while collecting only $4 trillion in taxes. Democrats are still trying to pass “Build Back Better” at a cost of $5 trillion, and forgive student loans that could cost of up to $1.5 trillion.
Printing all this money has huge consequences. Excess spending is one of the major drivers of inflation, and it increases the national debt, which has ballooned to over $30 trillion.
My goal in congress would be to cut inflation by restoring financial sanity. We need to stop spending money we don’t have by just printing more. And Congress should try to rescind as much money that is in the pipeline as possible. Like American families, Congress needs to be financially responsible to get inflation under control. The Spending Spree must stop. We have enough on our credit card.
We need to stop punishing small businesses with federal over-regulation so they can create new jobs. But the Democrats have done the opposite. During the first year of the current administration, they put in place more than $200 billion in new regulatory costs and 131 million hours in new annual paperwork. This puts it far ahead of the two preceding administrations’ first years by a wide margin. As a small business owner, I understand how deleterious this can be. My goal would be to cut the regulatory and licensing burden on individuals and businesses. This will allow them to flourish, and help reduce supply chain problems by letting businesses and essential workers be more productive. And by lowering business costs, reduce inflation.
And no new corporate taxes as the Democrats now propose to support more inflationary spending. Corporate tax increases will increase inflation as the higher costs will simply be passed on to consumers. We have a spending problem, not a taxing problem.
