2022 HI Senate race: on Budget & Economy


Bob McDermott: Wasteful, undisciplined fiscal policy perpetuates dependence

Perhaps the cruelest tax of all is the insidious attack of inflation precipitated by an ill-advised monetary easing policy with no end in sight amplified by a wasteful and undisciplined fiscal policy. These poorly thought out fiscal policies discourage work and perpetuate government dependence.

Brian Schatz: Got earmark to fix highway threatened by climate change

Consider the Honoapiilani Highway in West Maui, which is threatened by sea level rise. Schatz helped secure a $23 million earmark that will be used to help realign the highway before it falls into the ocean. "We're going to have to deal with climate change and it's not just about dealing with the root cause," Schatz said. "This was the first big project that wasn't just a pie in the sky sort of academic exercise, but our first real climate adaptation."
