Democrats Have All But Guaranteed a Red Wave: Part II
|
Chairman Kyle Hupfer speaks during the Second Congressional District caucuses. (Aug. 20, 2022)

When the Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post editorials are saying the same thing, you know you must be in the wrong.
That's exactly what happened yesterday when their headlines read: "The Half-Trillion Dollar Student-Loan Executive Coup" and "Biden's student loan announcement is a regressive, expensive mistake," respectively.
Both editorials were spot on.
As I'm sure you've heard by now, President Joe Biden announced this week that, with the stroke of a pen, he would cancel $10,000 worth of student debt for borrowers making up to $125,000 (or couples making up to $250,000) and also plans to cancel $20,000 for Pell Grant recipients.
Of course, this isn't a cancellation of debt, but a transfer of debt onto the backs of working class Hoosiers and Americans alike. It's worth noting, 87% of Americans don't owe student debt because they didn't attend school or worked hard to pay back the debt they owed or chose lower-cost schools.
And don't forget, Washington Democrats just voted to raise taxes so the wealthy could purchase cheaper solar panels and electric vehicles.
In my note last week, I stated that the Democrats' passing of the so-called "Inflation Reduction Act" was only the latest in a long list of actions that have all but guaranteed a red wave this November.
We can add this to that list too.
Enjoy this week’s newsletter and share it with a friend.
Sincerely,

Governor Holcomb's Week That Was
|
|
|
Advancing Innovation, Semiconductor Industry in Taiwan
|
|
|
On Wednesday, Governor Holcomb concluded an economic development trip to Taipei, fostering economic and academic ties between Indiana and Taiwan. During the trip, the Gov. Holcomb-led delegation including Indiana Secretary of Commerce Brad Chambers and Purdue University officials discussed opportunities for collaboration across industry, academia and government, and established four new partnerships designed to advance innovation, high-tech industries and the economy of the future.
“Indiana’s global economy is growing, with more than 1,050 foreign-owned businesses operating here today, because of our intentional commitment to developing relationships with partners like Taiwan,” said Gov. Holcomb. “Taiwan is a world leader in chips and microelectronics, while Indiana boasts a skilled ecosystem of engineering talent and innovators. Together, we can advance discoveries, encourage investment and power the products and solutions of tomorrow.”
In Taipei, Gov. Holcomb met with Taiwanese government officials, including Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen; Minister of Foreign Affairs Jaushieh Wu; and Minister of Economic Affairs Mei-hua Wang; to strengthen innovation-driven cooperation between Indiana and Taiwan.
On Monday, Gov. Holcomb solidified this commitment in a memorandum of understanding between the state of Indiana and the Taiwan Ministry of Economic Affairs, outlining a vision for future collaboration and establishing a framework to work together to advance academic cooperation, economic development and investment, and supply chain resiliency in key sectors, including advanced manufacturing, agriculture, semiconductors and technology.
Governor Holcomb is currently in the Republic of Korea and will return to Indiana tomorrow.
