2018 CT Senate race: on Budget & Economy


Matthew Corey: Washington's unbalanced budget affects all states

The $20 trillion in debt that we face is stifling job growth. The failure in Washington to pass a balanced budget is hindering our ability to grow the economy. With the right tax policy we can bring technology companies to invest in this country & state. We have to create a pathway for the next generation to bring new innovation to help America be the leader in the 21st Century. The harmful regulations that cost businesses millions of dollars that could be used for job growth and research.

Matthew Corey: Wasteful spending and regulations crippling jobs

We need to decrease federal spending on wasteful projects and increase private sector investment through tax reform. Federal mandates and burdensome regulations are destroying job growth. We need a sound energy policy so companies can compete in a global economy. We need to invest in the next generation who will have the answers to lead this nation in becoming a clean energy country. We need corporate tax reform to bring back the trillions of dollars overseas. We need to stop crony capitalism.
