(The Center Square) - U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski criticized the Inflation Reduction Act and her Republican opponent also pointed fingers at the Biden administration for record-high inflation in debate held Thursday night.
Murkowski, Republican Kelly Tshibaka and Democrat Pat Chesbro fielded questions from moderators and the public in the last debate before the Nov. 8 general election."It's happening all over the world because of the pandemic, because of supply chains and really it's happening because we are buying too much stuff," Chesbro said."Part of inflation is demand."
Murkowski, who is seeking her fourth term in the Senate, said the focus should be on the supply side. "We've got an administration that actually views resource production as a liability rather than an asset," Murkowski said."So it is about increasing supply. It's also about spending and doing so in a way that is meaningful, that does not drive up inflation further. What was just passed, the Inflation Reduction Act, which was anything but, only served to increase inflation.
