The American economy is growing again. As we look to the future, we must turn this growth into new and better jobs for American workers. No issue will be more imperative in 2010—Congress must create economic conditions that foster business growth, promote job creation and ultimately eliminate our federal deficit.
My economic development plan is based on this central tenet: that creating jobs for hard-working middle class Americans is the best way to get our nation back on track. To accomplish this, Congress must work to stabilize our economy, reduce unemployment and change the fundamental conditions of our financial system that led to this economic collapse. That is why my plan focuses on job creation, erasing the deficit, adapting to a changing economy, and increasing accountability for Wall Street firms and big banks.
My Economic Development Plan:
Creating Jobs through a Capital Investment Tax Credit
Establishing a Fiscal Commission to Develop a Clear Plan to Erase the Deficit and Stabilize Social Security and Medicare
Adapting to a Changing Economy with Education and Training
Taking Advantage of New Economic Opportunities in Green Energy, Information Technologies, and Infrastructure Development
Holding Wall Street Accountable and creating a Consumer Financial Protection Agency
