Smart, responsible fiscal reform will turn around economy
Dan Malloy and the liberal politicians in Hartford have ruined our economy. We don't need any more liberal taxes and crippling regulations.
We need smart and responsible fiscal reform! #CTPolitics

Eric Brakey:
The government takes enough; we shouldn't raise taxes
When I ran for office , I promised my constituents that I would not vote to raise taxes. Government takes enough of our money already.
This budget is already $7.1 billion dollars--the most expensive budget in Maine history--and we do not need to raise anymore taxes.

Michael Eisen:
We need to fight together in unison against all budget cuts
Q: What can we do about budget cuts for science?Eisen: Scientists, don't just complain about NIH, NSF and other budget science cuts. The whole budget is a travesty and must be fought in unison.
Q: On a practical level, to do that, don't we need to point out the biggest problems with it?
Eisen: It's a strategy to pit groups against each other--it's the premise that we need budget cuts that's the problem.

"Stimulus" just means more taxes, spending, & deficits
Reaction to Obama's speech: "Case closed: The most powerful special interest is big government, and President Obama is its lobbyist."
More from McCotter: "Stimulus: The Summer Rerun": more taxes, spending, deficits & debt = Bigger Government & failed politics of the past.

Tom Steyer:
Trump's $1T deficit is historic fiscal mismanagement
If you follow the money to understand priorities and values, Trump's budget plan will make your hair stand on end. First, his infrastructure scam neglects crucial environmental protections for our air, water, and wildlife, while allowing the
billionaires in his cabinet & corporate allies to build dirty fossil fuel pipelines and toxic waste dumps that harm our communities. Putting our country more than a trillion dollars in the red every year is fiscal mismanagement of historic proportions.

Hung Cao:
Inflation Reduction Act raises taxes AND inflation
- The Inflation Reduction Act (AKA Build Back Better) would raise taxes on those making under 400k & do little to reduce inflation in the immediate future.
Does Jennifer Wexton support this tax-and-spend bill that would cut wages & salaries? #Bidenflation
- The government's wasteful spending is hurting every American through inflation.
We need leaders who understand that for every add, there must be an offset.
- Biden needs to come to the negotiating table on the debt limit and runaway spending.
Americans expect more from their leaders and the U.S. cannot afford to default on its debt.
