There is no doubt we are in a serious economic crisis. Costs are up across the board, from food to energy, while unemployment is at the highest level in years. Hard-working Americans are watching government take and squander more and more of their money on their wasteful spending addiction, while taxpayers struggle to feed and shelter their children. Government’s actions in this crisis have been disrespectful to the American people and detrimental to our nation’s future.
Washington failed the American people by collecting millions of dollars from the financial sector in exchange for a lack of regulation and oversight. Melissa Bean touts her service on the House Financial Services Committee, yet she is very quick to place the blame elsewhere for our current situation. If anyone wonders what Melissa Bean was doing while our nation was spiraling towards financial crisis, they need look no further than the $801,000 she has collected this cycle alone from the very sector she was supposed to be regulating. It is difficult to pass tough regulations on a sector that singlehandedly fills your campaign coffers. While she was collecting rather than regulating, our economy was stumbling.
Congress recently passed an economic recovery plan to restore credit flow in the marketplace. This bailout should never have been needed in the first place—Congress forced taxpayers to foot the bill for their mistakes. Several good provisions were included in the final bill, such as provision ensuring that executives could not benefit from the recovery after failing employees and stockholders, but much more could have been done to ensure more assistance was provided to Main Street America. In addition, the bill was loaded with a large amount of pork, wasting more of the taxpayers’ money. When elected, Steve Greenberg will fight for you from the floor of the Congress to ensure you have a voice once again in government.
In Congress, Steve Greenberg will balance the budget by eliminating wasteful government spending. He will help struggling families by cutting taxes and lowering energy prices by developing clean alternative energy sources and increasing American-made production of energy. This increased domestic energy production will create thousands of jobs in addition to the jobs created by reduced corporate tax rates.
In short, Steve Greenberg believes in you. He believes that you are the best judge of how to spend your families’ hard earned money. He believes in the free market system and the power of the American entrepreneurial spirit. He will be a voice for you in Congress.
