In a recent email newsletter update, Jeanne Shaheen, the Federal Debt Queen, credited herself with “Working to Save Granite Staters Money on Energy Costs.” Don’t be surprised when I tell you that hers is the fiscal equivalent of tossing another cinderblock to someone who is drowning.
In the Inflation Reduction Act, I was proud to help secure millions for New Hampshire to adopt modern building energy codes. If the state were to adopt those codes, families could save hundreds of dollars each year on energy costs. Unfortunately, that hasn’t happened yet and with the state at risk of leaving this money on the table, I will keep fighting to ensure Granite Staters can save money on their utilities.
Let me see if I get this right.
You are bankrupting our children and grandchildren, devaluing everyone’s savings and retirement, driving up inflation, and burdening home and business owners with more regulations to lower energy prices that your energy policies made more expensive?
Really?
If you’d just stayed out of the way, energy prices would be lower, inflation would be lower, and life would be easier and more affordable. We wouldn’t be subsidizing through debt energy projects that make energy cost more, which makes everything, including the cost to run any size government, cost more.
As it turns out, the US Government might be the second biggest emitter on the planet after China. It certainly wants to be. Not coincidentally, one of the faster ways to save granite staters money without spending other people’s money is to shrink the meddling government that created the problem you now brag about trying to solve.
If you want to help, stop creating expensive problems that cost even more to pretend to fix (and only make everything worse). We’d be in better shape if you did nothing.
