Binghamton, NY -- Congressman Marc Molinaro today released a video message addressing the economic slowdown.
The video is available here and a transcript is available below.
Like most of you, I've been pretty uneasy about this economy.
They say inflation has slowed, but prices are still way too high. Too many are juggling credit cards just to stay afloat.
Now the stock market is cratering -- threatening retirement savings, jobs, and a national recession. I grew up in a working class family. To me, economic news is not just some numbers on a ticker. I know the anxiety of a disconnect notice. The helpless feeling of needing food stamps to put food on the table.
Our government needs to start respecting the people paying the bills and get back to basics: Good-paying jobs, lower taxes, stop the spending. And when it comes time for seniors to retire - Social Security & Medicare needs to be there.
The past few years have been a roller coaster. We have to do more to get back on the right track.
