“While middle class families in New Hampshire are cutting their own spending, Washington needs to do the same,” said Hodes. “Granite State families are tired of Washington’s debt financed spending. That’s why in the past year, I’ve called laid out proposals that will reduce the debt and cut Washington spending by nearly one trillion dollars. It’s time that politicians follow the lead of middle class families and that means ending bailouts, freezing spending, and ending earmarks once and for all.”
“Small businesses across New Hampshire are going to create good-paying jobs for middle class families, and help lead our economic recovery,” said Hodes. “This plan rewards small businesses and creates incentives for creating middle class jobs, and lowers taxes for the entrepreneurs that are ready to grow the Granite State’s economy.”
“The President’s speech tonight helped highlight the need to create jobs for middle class families and be fiscally responsible,” said Hodes. “But I believe we need to go further to help small business in New Hampshire by providing quality affordable health care that will help them start hiring again. We also must do more to control federal spending by eliminating tax breaks for big oil and companies that ship jobs overseas and we must hold Wall Street accountable for their role in hurting the middle class.”
