Restoring Prosperity, Providing Relief

Congressman Russ Carnahan has been working in Washington to make certain the economic challenges facing ordinary people aren’t forgotten.  Recently, he sent an economic newsletter to constituents sharing his work to:

• Provide a temporary economic stimulus package including tax relief of up to $600 per individual and $1,200 per married couple

• Enact the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act, which eliminates the taxes on mortgage indebtedness, encourages market-based restructuring between lenders and homeowners and discourages foreclosures

• Lower the costs and increase quality of health care by insuring 10 million children, boosting medical research, and improving diagnosis and prevention

• Invest in education to help create good-paying American jobs

Congressman Carnahan is offering a new long-term vision to provide more stability to our economy and to strengthen the  middle class.  Congressman Carnahan is taking action to:

• Lower energy prices, create hundreds of thousands of new “green” jobs, provide incentives for clean, renewable energy and fight potential energy price gouging and price fixing by OPEC
• Rebuild and modernize our nation’s roads, bridges, levees, and energy grid, and extend high-speed Internet communications to create jobs across
• Restore confidence in consumer goods, like toys, food, and medicines
• Reduce the deficit and restore fiscal responsibility to enable our nation to meet future challenges
