Republican, Democrat candidate in Arkansas Senate race sound off on inflation

WITH HIM AT HIS STOP AT THE NORTHWEST ARKANSAS FOOD BANK IN BETHEL HEIGHTS TODAY. SENATOR BOOZMAN TALKED TO OFFICIALS AND VOLUNTEERS AT THE FOOD BANK ABOUT THEIR DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS, AND THE CHALLENGES THEY ARE FACING WITH INFLATION. BOOZMAN SAYS A CONCERN HE IS HEARING IS THAT THE NEED IS GROWING. WHEN I TALKED TO THE SENATOR, HE CRITICIZED THE INFLATION REDUCTION ACT. IT PASSED THROUGH CONGRESS WITH NO REPUBLICAN SUPPORT. HE SAYS THE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS BEING THROWN INTO THE ECONOMY FROM THE BILL COULD INCREASE INFLATION. (“Well, I think we need to do a lot of things. Energy is one of the basic things. Gasoline prices, diesel is so high. We need to produce more energy. The last thing we need to do though is raising taxes and spending more money. Spending money causes inflation.”) BOOZMAN’S DEMOCRATIC OPPONENT FOR US SENATE IN NOVEMBER’S ELECTION NATALIE JAMES DISAGREES. SHE SAYS THE INFLATION REDUCTION ACT WILL REDUCE INFLATION, ADD JOBS, AND HELP THE ENVIRONMENT. (“”it’s gonna reduce pollution. It’s gonna improve transit It’s going to bring good paying jobs here to Arkansas. Right now we already have 19,096 Arkansas workers employed because of clean energy jobs.The inflation product act, it’s expanding on those opportunities. “) I DID REACH OUT TO THE LIBERTARIAN CANDIDATE, KENNETH CATES FOR COMMEN
