Loebsack is intelligent choice for Congress
The Gazette Opinion Staff
Oct. 8, 2010 2:07 pm
Dave Loebsack has worked hard to pass legislation for us, but Chuck Grassley and the Senate have managed to stall or water down many of our wishes. Loebsack knows privatizing Social Security only puts us at the mercy of the stock market and Wall Street.
Loebsack knows that you cannot reduce taxes on everybody and still have money to run the government. The middle class shrinks as billionaires increase. Loebsack knows that the last 30 years of reduced regulations and funding for government watchdogs, such as the Food and Drug Administration, only hurt the American people.
Loebsack knows the personal cost of our military spending and has welcomed family back from fighting in Afghanistan. He is the intelligent choice to send back to Congress.
