Congressman Cliff Stearns

Economy

In the coming weeks and months, my first priority will be to conintue to work to get our economy back on track. The current economic crisis demands concerted efforts to restore growth and job creation.

Our economic strength is built upon free markets, rewarding hard work and creativity, and limiting government intrusion. Looking at our economic strengths, the proper course of action is creating permanent jobs, real, long-lasting tax relief, and providing businesses incentives to grow. On the other hand, the wrong course of action is taxing small businesses, burying future generations in more debt, and trying to spend and borrow our way back to prosperity.
