Economy
Our country is in desperate need of an economic policy that will provide job creation and stimulate demand for goods and services, while also building the foundation for long-term economic growth. I will focus on rebuilding our country’s crumbling infrastructure, developing a “green” economy, and strengthening our small business sector in order to stimulate the economy.
With our national debt being stretched to historic proportions, we will have to make firm and difficult decisions about our national funding priorities. I am prepared to adhere to pay-as-you-go policy constraints and will work to promote policy that will not increase our unsustainable debt obligations for future generations. To the extent that economic stimulus is necessary in a time of economic downturn, I will advocate for valuable investments in our future productivity and economic progress. Any domestic government spending, in the face of monstrous budget deficits, must generate significant rates of return in the future productivity of American people and the American economy to justify the expense.
Through increased economic opportunity, the wider availability of well-paying jobs, a stronger infrastructure, and a cleaner economy, we will make the American Dream more attainable for many Americans who have been struggling to just get by, let alone get ahead. As your Congressman, I will promote bipartisan legislation focused on restoring American economic growth through fiscally responsible investments in our own systems of infrastructure and clean energy technologies, investments which have been neglected for far too long to the detriment of our economic future. We can help ourselves by investing in ourselves, and I will work to ensure these investments are made a priority.
