Gary Black:
Federal government shouldn't pay people to stay home
We should be building roads and bridges, strengthening ports, and securing our power grid. But we should do so without trillions spent on pet projects that set our country's fiscal future on fire.
Joe Biden and Raphael Warnock's policies have created a labor shortage, spiraling inflation, and added trillions more to our national debt.
Businesses should compete with reasonable oversight, but without competition from a federal government that pays people to stay home. As Agriculture Commissioner, we created new markets, expanded jobs, and gave businesses the support
they needed to start and grow. I'll put that experience to work to create opportunity, not dependency.
