Issue Position

The Congressman knows how hard the recession has been on middle-class families, seniors and small businesses. When one out of ten Americans are out of work, the economy affects us all at a personal level. Washington needs to get out of the way and let the private sector get to work. Congressman Adler voted for and introduced legislation to give the middle-class tax cuts. He also sponsored legislation to help families in New Jersey struggling with their property taxes. This will put more money in the hands of families and businesses.

The Congressman has visited businesses in his district and meets regularly with local business leaders to find out how the government can push financial institutions to lend and end needless bureaucracy that harms small business growth. Ideas and hard work from the private sector will be what turns around our economy. The Congressman is working to rein in reckless federal spending, so that it does not crowd out the private sector.

Finally, the Congressman is working to hold the Big Banks and greedy executives accountable for their reckless schemes. Wall Street got our country into this mess, and Congressman Adler is working to make sure they cannot do it again. The Congressman opposed the wasteful bank bailout and supports tough, commonsense measures that make sure Wall Street can no longer take risky gambles with our hard-earned money.
