On Budget & Economy: Congress is out of control on spending

I was a founder of a company developing environmental technology. I was also a CEO of 3 national associations. I was a staff member in the House and Senate for over a 35 year period. The Congress is out of control on spending. Source: Georgia 2008 Democratic Senate Primary Debate Jun 30, 2008

On Environment: Help cities with mass transit and farmers in small towns too

In Washington we talk about mass transit as if every town and every city is a large metropolitan area. If you’re a farmer, you still have to drive the same amount of miles and there’s a lot the government can do to help. There are established programs today that can be applied to Georgia.

On Tax Reform: Opposes $1 trillion tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans

LANIER: [to Vernon Jones]: You said you voted for George Bush in 2000 and again in 2004. I just want to ask you what it is you liked about George Bush. Was it the $1 trillion tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans or the $400 million a day in Iraq?

JONES: We needed to find the terrorists no matter where they were. Most people felt like we should keep George Bush as president because we were in the middle of a war. We needed to maintain that consistency.
