Economy

Americans have been bombarded with dire economic news over the past six months. From skyrocketing oil and gasoline prices to a slumping real estate market to the "Credit Crunch" that has paralyzed Wall Street, it is clear that our nation's economy has seen better days. Michael B. Younan will face these and other economic challenges head on if elected to the United States Congress.

The United States needs an economic turnaround plan, and Michael B. Younan will work to enact sweeping reforms that will benefit the average American family. First and foremost, high gasoline prices are crippling our nation, and Michael supports a temporary suspension of the Gasoline Tax to restore mobility to American families and businesses. If elected, he will call for a congressional investigation into the current mortgage crisis and will work with agencies like the Federal Housing Administration to provide low-interest fixed-rate loan alternatives to families facing foreclosure. As a small business owner, Michael B. Younan knows firsthand the challenges of remaining profitable in tough economic times and therefore would advocate for expanded tax breaks for small businesses and middle-class families. The American economic powerhouse has led the global economy for the past century, and Michael B. Younan will work to restore our country's economic prominence once elected.
