Congressman Ruppersberger Representing Marylands Second District

The Economy

Smart investment equals smart growth

Throughout his career in public service, Congressman Ruppersberger has always believed that an equal balance between economic growth and community resources is what creates a high quality of for every American citizen.

To create jobs and prosperous communities, the Congressman favors a smart growth approach to economic investment. The kind of growth and expansion that fits within a community's needs and character. As a former county executive, Mr. Ruppersberger is using his experience on the local level to find and apply the federal resources needed to continue his economic vision in Maryland's 2nd District.

In the bigger picture of today's struggling economy, Congressman Ruppersberger favors a national economic plan that creates both short-term stimulus and long term economic growth.

Because jobs are the fuel that runs the economic engine, Mr. Ruppersberger encourages the idea of smart business growth through targeted tax cuts for corporations and small business to encourage research and investment in technology advancement. This is the kind of reinvestment into business and workforce development that will keep our economic future vibrant and viable.

Coupled with fiscally responsible government that prioritizes investment in key national priorities such as education, health care, and homeland security, effective tax relief bolsters American communities through job growth, increasing purchasing power and the public infrastructure guaranteed to support economic expansion.
