Vernon Jones on Budget & Economy

Democratic Senate challenger

Lead the way to protect home ownership

My job as CEO of Dekalb County is to educate people on home foreclosure. They need someone to speak up for them in Washington. I would lead the way to protect home ownership. There are over 8,000 homes a day being foreclosed on and it's ironic that the government bailed out Bear Sterns in Wall Street while there are millions of American families losing their homes every day.

Record of balancing budgets and not raising taxes

Senator Sam Nunn was a fiscal conservative and I am along the same lines. I have a record of balancing budgets and not raising taxes. Maintaining the best stewardship of taxpayers' dollars is so important. 11 Source: Georgia 2008 Democratic Senate Primary Debate Jun 30, 2008
