Dr. Mike Katz: Conversation with the Candidate US Senate in Delaware

So let's get into the economy.

You talked about, you know, there's things that people are really concerned about in Delaware.

I've heard about Delmarva power rates, PJM, but we seem to have a national problem with the Democrats have put in policies.

And I have to put the blame on the Democrats on this one a little bit because Republicans were pushing back and it looks like they might've been correct.

A lot of these were policies being put in place and said, by this year, your cars all have to get this miles per gallon.

You have to be this much energy independent by this year or else you're going to get fined.

And we're in Delaware where we're having only 40% of our electricity made in house.

Those policies are starting to come back to bite us.

So with the economy being the number one biggest concern, energy, housing, groceries, healthcare, you name it.

What do you believe are the biggest causes of the current affordability problem that we have? And what specific federal policies would you support to help bring those costs down for the average American?

A complex question and complex answers.

I've got, as I mentioned, a strong business background.

I have an international executive MBA, and I've been a business executive for several decades now.

So I understand how businesses work at the local micro level, but I also understand how they interact at a macro level nationally as well as internationally.

So we need to make sure that we're We facilitate an environment where businesses can succeed.

That's making sure that we are not over-regulating them, that we do not over-tax them.

There are inputs that enable businesses to be competitive.

And you mentioned energy.

Energy is a huge problem in this country.

And you mentioned energy.

where bureaucracy and legislators were trying to cram down businesses and citizens' throats, a policy where they had to basically buy into electric cars and you know electric uh different health uh energy policies that really made no sense uh they're true they're way ahead of uh the science and they uh really were it was it was corruption was involved people were making a lot of money over some that some of that policy and uh unfortunately uh corruption was driving some of that policy so you know energy need we need to be energy independent uh we need to make sure that uh we are energy independent uh in Delaware as well as nationally.

It's a national defense issue as well.

And it's also going to enable businesses to be more competitive, not only locally, nationally, but internationally.

So energy is a big input.

If businesses do not have to spend so much on the energy inputs to run their business, they can put more money into building their business, growing their business.
