The Cleveland Plain-Dealer: on Budget & Economy
Bob Barr:
Financial crisis requires investigation & prosecution
The candidates took aim at corporate greed on Wall Street and agreed that President Bush and V.P. Dick Cheney should face criminal charges for their handling of the economy. They accused the current administration of chronic financial irresponsibility.
Barr found it curious that the Department of Justice has been absent during the nation’s financial crisis. “There have been no prosecutions, not even apparently a significant investigation of what appears to be historic fraud,” Barr said.

Marcia Fudge:
COVID: protect homeowners, renters, small landlords
Q: What are your plans for what you want to do at HUD?A: I think the pressing thing is to deal with the adverse impacts of the COVID crisis. We've got to make sure that people can stay in their homes, or if they're renters, to stay in their
apartments. The first thing is keep people in their homes, as well as to assist some of these landlords, who are not these mega apartment owners but just a small landlords who are who are struggling as well.

Max Miller:
Scale back government as quickly and as soon as possible
Miller said inflation is the top issue he hears about from voters who are financially strapped by rising prices. He tells them the government needs to be more fiscally responsible, and injecting money into the economy over the past
20 months hasn't worked and "will not work, period, hard stop.""More of a pragmatic solution would probably be to scale back government as quickly and as soon as possible," said Miller.
