2024 NC Governor's race: on Budget & Economy


Andy Wells: COVID-related spending by Congress caused inflation

After Covid stuck politicians spent trillions, money they didn't have. So they borrowed (printed money would be a better word) to pay for their skyrocketing spending. But printing trillions came with a price--it made a dollar worth less. That caused inflation. Prices shot up on everything from hamburgers to gasoline and working families, and family businesses, struggled.

Michael Morgan: Economy should encourage entrepreneurs and work for everyone

ECONOMY + JOBS: VALUE STATEMENT: We need a 21st-century economy that works for everyone. Our economy should encourage entrepreneurs and investment in industries of the future. It should create jobs that pay at least a living wage. It should offer access and opportunity for everyone to improve their lives and pursue their dreams through hard work. Our economy should offer equal pay for equal work – regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or sexual ID.
