As your Treasurer, I will advocate for the privatization of as many government-run services as possible. By reducing state control and promoting private sector efficiency, we can cut costs, improve service quality, and free up resources to pay down debt. Government monopolies have no incentive to provide good customer service and reasonable prices. Their failures and shortcomings only result in increased taxes, fees, and prices. Privatization and outsourcing will result in entrepreneurs to step in and provide superior service at better prices with increased accountability.
Pennsylvania is rich in energy resources, being the second largest producer of natural gas in the US. We do not achieve prosperity by reducing the energy we consume. I will work to unlock these natural resources as well as promote develop other methods of energy production, such as nuclear, to ensure Pennsylvania has the energy it needs to prosper well into the future.
We have all felt the effects of price inflation over the past several years. This was inevitable following the massive amount of money created in response to COVID and the money printing has not stopped. Currently the federal government is adding debt at the rate of approximately $1 Trillion dollars every 3 months, which is almost $4 trillion dollars per year. This level of debt is unsustainable and will continue to drive prices up as more money enters the economy chasing a similar number of goods. I will work to promote the use of alternative assets such as gold and bitcoin, and ensure the treasury can receive and hold these assets. These assets can provide not only stability to inflation, but potentially grow in relative value as the dollar continues on its downward decline.
