Issue Position: Jobs & the Economy

Issue Position

Just before becoming President, Senator Barack Obama told us that the government's 9 trillion dollar debt was "immoral." Well, after President Barack Obama's 5 years of stimulus spending and programs that were supposed to "fix the economy" the national debt just passed 17 trillion dollars! Who's supposed to pay for that? I'll tell ya who…you and me and our kids, the forgotten workers and taxpayers that keep the real economy going day in and day out. Wasteful spending and regulation are weighing on the economy and preventing small businesses from expanding and creating new jobs.

Small businesses create over half of the new jobs in this country each year. I believe that those businesses and the entrepreneurs and workers that run them are the key to getting us out of the economic slump we're in.
