Economy
Congresswoman Solis supports policies which would allow every resident of
the 32nd Congressional District to find a job that allows them to care for
their family, buy a house, save for the future, and enjoy a secure retirement.
To accomplish this goal, she supports:
Middle-class tax cuts.
Congresswoman
Solis supports putting spending money in the pockets of average Americans
through a range of middle-class tax cuts – boosting
consumer demand and the business investment necessary to meet it.
Incentives for small business and manufacturing jobs in the U.S.
Congresswoman
Solis supports efforts to provide over $32 billion in tax relief for small
businesses, the engine of our economy, so they can generate investment and
jobs immediately. She also supports investing in a permanent new tax break
for corporations to encourage companies to expand and create good-paying
manufacturing jobs here in the United States.
New tax cuts to encourage businesses to hire
the unemployed.
To address record
levels of high unemployment, Congresswoman Solis wants to give businesses
that hire people who have been out of work for at least six months a tax
credit worth $2,400. This credit helps put people back to work and rewards
the companies that are hiring new workers.
Extended unemployment benefits.
Congresswoman Solis wants to pump money
into the economy by helping those who can't find a job because of the sagging
economy. She believes this goal can be achieved by extending unemployment
benefits for the five million American workers who are still out of a job
despite their continued job search.
Support for states and localities to create jobs.
Fiscal crises in the states
are forcing tax increases and cuts in critical programs, undermining jobs and
our economic recovery. Congresswoman Solis supports providing states with funds
to avoid these cuts and to address critical needs in areas including health care,
homeland security, education, and highway construction. |
