Why It Matters

Inflation is a hidden tax that destroys the savings and purchasing power of every American, especially those on fixed incomes. When government spends beyond its means, the bill is paid by working families through higher prices for food, gas, and housing. Restoring fiscal discipline and pro-growth policies is essential to rebuilding American prosperity.

Key Points

Inflation is a hidden tax that destroys the savings of working families and retirees.

Excessive government spending drives up prices and national debt simultaneously.

Pro-growth tax cuts and deregulation create jobs and raise wages for American workers.

Energy independence is economic independence — cheap energy powers prosperity.

Federal spending must be brought under control before interest payments consume the entire budget.

Small businesses, not government programs, are the engine of American job creation.

Sound monetary policy requires fiscal discipline and an independent, accountable Federal Reserve.
