Smart government, smart economy

Only a healthy economy can give Americans the opportunities and the living-wage jobs we need! Only a healthy economy can generate the revenue we need! All other sources of funds — printing, debt, selling natural resources and taxing the rich — are finite!

Our middle class and our poor continue to get the short end of the stick! For too many Americans, our government has given us an economy today that is about as inhumane as it gets!

There is absolutely no excuse for our economy to be as bad as it is! Our country has the “tools” it needs for a healthy economy. We lack the right government! We need a government that understands and respects the unwritten laws of economics. We need a government that can do the math! We need a government with a healthy economy as its prime goal!

We must challenge and elect candidates with the skills, the drive and a prime goal to give us a healthy economy!
