Yesterday the Senate voted on the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. I have studied all 725 pages of this bill and watched several hours of debate. Not one provision in this bill reduces spending or otherwise deals with United States monetary policy. The sad reality is that this bill will increase inflation, not reduce it. In fact, according to the Congressional Budget Office, it increases our national debt by 1.6 trillion dollars.
Politicians in DC must stop paying off special interests and donors and must start protecting our pocketbooks. Our elected representatives should start tackling the tough issues - it is why we elect them. When elected to the United States Senate, I never could vote for a bill like this. My focus will be on ensuring Californians have the best quality of life and slowing the rate of inflation by limiting government spending.

P.S. Would you consider making a campaign contribution to the campaign for me to remind the voters of California that Democrats have just voted to increase inflation in this nation?
