Kurt Schrader for Congress

Kurt Schrader's Plan for Economic Recovery

Our country is currently battling through one of the worst economic periods in recent memory. Families are struggling to keep up with rising gas, food and health care costs. The mortgage crisis has caused many families to lose their homes or declare bankruptcy. Unemployment numbers are rising and the American financial system is facing a crisis of confidence. The last eight years have not been good for our nation and its time to bring new ideas to Washington D.C.

Kurt Schrader has a proven track-record of good economic stewardship. As Co-Chair of the Oregon Legislature’s budget committee he guided Oregon through a recession in 2001-2002 and was able to prevent devastating cuts in state services. Under his leadership, the state created a reserve fund to allow Oregon to weather economic downturns without cutting important programs like education and health care. His fiscal discipline has allowed Oregon to be one of the few states not currently running a deficit as the national economy has hit hard times.

As a member of Congress Kurt Schrader will put his vast experience and expertise on economic issues to bear on turning our economy around. But don’t take our word for it. Take a look at Kurt Schrader’s Plan for Economic Recovery for yourself.
