2022 GA Senate race: on Budget & Economy


Herschel Walker: Best way to help people succeed: don't give them a handout

As a small-town kid who has achieved the American Dream, Herschel knows the best way to help people succeed is not to give them a handout but to teach them how to fish. Herschel has personally seen how when you work hard and stay in the fight, anything is possible. He will fight to keep that same American Dream alive for you and your kids too.

Latham Saddler: Stimulus has too much wasteful spending

Q: On the federal stimulus measure?

A: There's too much capacity of wasteful spending. There's a number of concerns, including that people are hurting economically but the amount they've received from a stimulus check is just a fraction of the total package. China is doing everything they can to instill a lack of confidence across the globe and destabilize the dollar, and we're racking up trillions of dollars in debt. I worry about that from a national security standpoint.

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.
