Inflation is crushing Americans, in particular the middle and working classes. I believe in “spend what you absolutely need to, tax absolutely no more than that.” Unfortunately Biden and Blumenthal have spent trillions on everything and paid for none of it, causing runaway inflation, and want to raise taxes to make up the difference. As the Republican leader in the Connecticut House, we passed a Republican budget in a Democratic state that gave us spending caps, bonding caps, and volatility caps. I will take the same approach to Washington.
