The new deal is a raw deal – Letters Of Liberty

**“The new deal is a raw deal,” Monterey Herald – July 21, 2022**

Zoe Lofgren’s elite Silicon Valley donors are making millions with her progressive caucus votes in Congress. Let’s examine the effects on the majority of residents of District 18: 1) Skyrocketing gas prices due to her war on clean American natural gas and petroleum; 2) Highest inflation in 41 years from her votes on reckless spending ($2.7 trillion in the name of COVID that was given away to her donors and other random far-left causes); 3) Increased national air pollution due to import of $165 billion of dirty Russian oil and increase in US coal burning due to overreliance on solar; 4) PG&E rates 80 percent higher than US average due to enormous solar subsidies; 5) Burgeoning crime rates due to her support of defunding police. Let’s vote for Peter Hernandez, who will represent the real majority of hard-working people in District 18.
