My opponent’s support for economic policies has been a disaster for middle class families.  Good-paying jobs are sent to countries that use slave labor, and here at home prices for gasoline, food and health care are soaring.

The only people who are prospering are the financial elites - the same people who buy off career politicians in Washington and Raleigh with campaign contributions.

Our national independence is threatened as the U.S. government borrows money from China to finance record budget deficits.   We are mortgaging America’s crown jewels - our productive assets - to finance massive trade deficits.

We need to start exporting American values, not American jobs.  When we ship jobs and industries overseas, we also ship our tax base overseas - that’s why America is losing its ability to pay for schools, roads and national defense.

Smart economic policy rewards corporate patriotism - companies that invest in America and make our communities better places to live.   The brave men and women who serve in our military stand by America - we need that same vision from corporate executives and the career politicians who take their money.

Our founding fathers knew that national security begins with economic security.  Smart economic policy works for the good of the farms, businesses and middle class families which are the backbone of North Carolina’s economy.
