Priorities: Combating Inflation
The most direct impact of any political decision comes at the cash register. Nearly four years of Biden-Harris policies have made it much harder for working families to put food on the table.
Of course, the corporate media will try to claim that inflation is down, so what’s the problem? After all, Kamala Harris cast the tie-breaking vote on the “Inflation Reduction Act,” so stop complaining.
The government and its allies in the media like to play a little trick on you. If inflation was 9% in January but only 5% in February, their headlines claim that inflation “fell” by 4%. In reality, prices are still more than 14% higher than they were last year.
The prices of food and goods that Idahoans need are astronomically higher than they were when Donald Trump left office. Even the “cheap” eggs at the grocery store are $4 a dozen now!
So what can we do? Inflation is a direct result of federal policies that interfere with the free market. We can’t control the money machine at the Fed level, nor can we control national policy. But we can let you keep more of your own money. By cutting taxes and spending at the state level, you will have more of your money to spend. Businesses will have more to pay workers as well.
At a deeper level, we have a vision for Idaho which involves curtailing government and unleashing innovation. By promoting free market solutions, we can reduce the growth of government that eats into your paycheck and stifles the potential of private businesses. We want to see supply chains strengthened, creating strong communities that provide the goods and services your family needs.
We also support sound monetary policies that reduce inflationary pressure.
Make no mistake, the sticker shock you feel at the store is a direct result of decisions made in Washington, DC. Help us do what we can in the Gem State to bring sanity and security back to Idaho families.
