Chris Young on Budget & Economy

Democratic Senate Challenger

End the Federal Reserve & support a strong dollar

I support funding for education and debt relief and the re-instituting a federal statute of limitations on debt.
I support re-instituting bankruptcy protections taken away, under Jack Reed's administration, for home owners and college students with student loan debt.
I support a strong dollar and lowering inflation of food prices.
I support ending the Federal Reserve and removing the national debt of $58 trillion.

Debt of $8T cuts federal funding to the states

We clearly must address the national debt that has doubled and this congress, from $4 trillion to $8.2 trillion dollars in six years. We pay $2 billion per day just in interest on this debt to private banks, cutting federal funding to the states as well as numerous federal programs ranging from the push toward increased property taxation, lack of funding to health care programs to education funding yet Whitehouse is silent on this issue. Why? They seem to fear saying, let's print our own currency. Source: Candidacy announcement for US Senate Sep 17, 2007
