Issue Position: Building a Stronger American Economy

Issue Position

America faces one of the most troubling economic outlooks we've seen since the Great Depression. But, instead of focusing on families and working Americans, Congress has bailed out their buddies on Wall Street and forgotten the values most of us learned on Main Street. While unemployment hovers near 10% and the deficit grows day-by-day, international competitors like China and India continue to strengthen their economies and move forward into the 21st century. Congress should not stand for America being second place in anything. David will fight to create new, smarter jobs that will stay in Arkansas and won't end up overseas. He believes that Congress must seek solutions that will reward small businesses that invest in the American workforce and not those companies that dance the Bailout Two-Step by taking our hard-earned tax money overseas to give jobs to China. We must put Americans back to work building and producing goods in this country, and we must build workplaces that provide a living wage for Arkansans. To do this, we must recapture the entrepreneurial spirit of American enterprise and lead the way to better jobs for Arkansans.
