The Hill 2020s: on Budget & Economy


Jon Ossoff: COVID: Another round of $1,200 stimulus checks

During a portion where candidates pose questions to each other, Ossoff said he would ask Perdue "why he continues to oppose $1,200 stimulus checks for the American people at this moment in crisis, why he fought against them in the first place and why he isn't in Washington right now championing direct financial relief?"

"If I had the opportunity to ask the senator a question, if the senator were not too much of a coward to debate in public, then that's what I'd ask him," Ossoff added.

Raphael Warnock: Opposes federal spending in Inflation Reduction Act

Walker has not presented any specifics on his plans for addressing the economy, but said if elected, he plans to fight for lower taxes, fewer government regulations and more free-market capitalism. He has also blamed Democrat spending at the federal level as the cause of inflation and high gas and grocery costs, and has spoken against the Inflation Reduction Act, which [Democratic opponent Sen. Raphael] Warnock voted for in August. The act addressed affordable health care and prescription drugs, climate change and taxing wealthy corporations.

Warnock has vowed to oppose tax breaks that benefit the wealthiest Americans and has advocated for middle and lower class tax breaks.
