A common theme I've been hearing in my office and on the campaign trail  is, "Where's our stimulus?"  People in Iowa are still not back to work.  Nobody I've talked to so far has received a stimulus check promised by Pres. Obama.  Businesses are still laying off good, hard working folks, and shutting their doors, and when businesses go bad, these very same people are out of a job, and many times out of their homes.  It restricts Iowan's abilities to provide food, shelter, health care, and other essentials to their children and other loved ones.  The stimulus is supposed to be working, but it isn't as far as the Average Iowan goes.  People are still out of work, out of money, and out of their minds with worry about their future.

Here's my Stimulus Plan for Iowans if I am elected to Congress.

• 40% of every dollar we send to Washington for Medicare goes to other states.  I'm going to bring that 40% back to Iowa.
• Reducing payroll taxes will free up operating income for business, increasing purchasing and hiring power of business
• Introduce a graded flat income tax that will reduce red tape and increase the ease of filing
• Increase funding for green tech firms who do business in Iowa
• Increase tax breaks for Iowans who use green tech, especially if they utilize an Iowa company
• Loosen requirements for refinancing your home or car, so everyone can benefit.  No more "loan to own" from banks
• No Cost Health Care Reform
• Make it easier to create international markets for Iowa's products
• Increase funding for our schools and colleges to retain our future citizens, and reverse our "brain drain"
