I believe in smart investments in the future, not massive tax cuts for the few that could bring us back into deficit. And, above all, I believe prosperity has to work for the working and middle class families who built this economy, the families who are the hope and soul of this country. That's who I'm fighting for. And for every dollar we put into new spending, we'll also put a dollar into tax cuts for working and middle class families. If we pay down the debt and keep interest rates low, then the private sector doesn't have to compete with the federal government for investment capital.
Productivity rises, jobs are created, and the economy prospers.
Now is the time to pursue economic policies that are good for our families and good for business. This is not the time to invite new deficits and high interest rates that could stifle both our growth and our hopes. That is why this issue is so important. That is why 40 days from now, prosperity itself will be on the ballot. You deserve a President who will honor your hard work by making the hard choices on economic policy.
