Jobs and Economy Platform

There is a major problem with the status of jobs and economy. Unemployment rate is at 8.2% and the economy is not growing fast enough to employ the 12.8 million people who are jobless in America. This rate of unemployment is a big blow to the middle-class families who are trying to carry out daily tasks. Our current government thinks spending is the key to fixing this problem. Spending won’t work and will leave heavy taxes on our children and grandchildren.

We want to fix the foundations of the American economy. Our economy was built on hard work, free enterprise and innovation. We also want to reduce government spending and improve government programs. Also, we would like to give the citizens the skills to work for the jobs they want.

To achieve our goal, we will cut down on foreign imports so more American-made products are sold within our country. We will also attempt to maximize our export so we can bring in revenue to balance out our current debt. We will limit the number of jobs that are being outsourced to other countries. Paying citizens of another country less to do work that should be available to Americans is contributing to our staggering economy. Americans need their jobs, and fixing our outsourcing problem will help drop our unemployment rate.
