New Hampshire Republican candidate Gen. Don Bolduc hammered Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-NH) for her radical voting record of massive spending during Thursday’s debate.
“Her policies hurt people,” Gen. Bolduc charged. “My policies will reverse all of this and allow that inflation to come down.”
When pressed by the moderator about what Bolduc would due to cut spending and reduce inflation, Bolduc listed a litany of Democrats’ reckless spending projects.
“How about $6 million dollars sent to New York to build golf courses? How about $465,000 going to teach pigeons how to play slot machines? How about $7 million dollars going to California to build parks?” he questioned.
“How about multi-millions of dollars going to Tunisia and Pakistan to study gender transition? Bolduc suggested. “That is their issue. That’s not your issue,” he said, turning to the crowd.

“How about looking at all this pork that she [Hassan] adds to bills in order to drive us into bankruptcy? How about putting a limit on the FED in printing money that we don’t have, constantly putting us in more debt,” he said.
“I would change all the energy policies that she has agreed with with Biden,” he added. “XL Pipeline, more permits, more leases.”
Hassan answered a similar question by defending her inflation-fueling voting record. She also said inflation was due to the pandemic and the Ukrainian war.
“Most experts say the labor shortage and the supply chain disruptions are driving it [inflation] are primarily caused by the pandemic and the [Ukrainian] war,” she claimed.
Hassan refused to acknowledge her inflation-fueling votes throughout the last two years. Hassan voted for the “Inflation Reduction Act and the $1.9 trillion for coronavirus stimulus.
Over 230 economists warned the so-called “Inflation Reduction Act” will exacerbate inflation.
A recent Heritage Foundation study revealed wages for American families are down $6,000 after adjusting for inflation, an $1,800 increase from September.
Bolduc is virtually tied with Hassan in the polls, despite being outspent by nine million, according to third-quarter campaign totals.
