So, of course, Republican hopefuls and the debate moderators spent a good portion of the night detailing and interrogating proposals for reducing inflation and preventing another outbreak of soaring prices. Each one explained whether he felt the Federal Reserve should continue hiking rates or start cutting next week. We learned which candidates think fiscal policy can play an effective role in re-establishing price stability and which think only monetary policy can seriously tame inflation..
Spending came up a number of times; but if it was used in connection with inflation, hardly anyone could have noticed. None of the Republicans gave primary voters much of a reason to believe they would be especially suited to rein in runaway spending, although formersaid he’d abolish the Department of Education and block grant its funding to the states .Former Vice President Mike Pence
decried the “worst inflation in 40 years” in his close, but one got the impression of the proverbial man shaking his fist at the clouds rather than a policymaker addressing an economic crisis.To be fair, the broader issue of “the economy” came up a bit more frequently. Candidates used the word “economy” 22 times during the debate, by MarketWatch’s count. Yet the discussion here was almost unnoticeable, limited to a few slogans and endorsements of increased domestic energy extraction. We agree that increasing domestic production of fossil fuels is a desirable policy, but “drill, baby, drill” is hardly a new or innovative policy position for Republicans and will only go so far to address the problem of stubborn inflation.
