From Tim Bishop
Transportation spending is a win-win proposition.
Real economic stimulus comes from real investment.
The Long Island Sound is an environmentally unique estuary that needs to be protected.
The residents and elected officials of Long Island have fought vigorously for many years and spent millions of dollars to preserve the quality of life that the Long Island Sound offers.
In this time of budget cuts, we cannot forget that basic science is a building block for scientific innovation and economic growth in the information age.
While the wealthiest families completely benefit from the tax cuts targeted towards the upper brackets, middle-income families were hit with the unwelcome surprise of higher taxes on tax day.
For a variety of reasons, we are not producing at a given level of economic activity the jobs we used to have.
The people who do not get jobs are often the most vulnerable in our society, and joblessness is a terrible plight for anyone who suffers from it.
In addition to joblessness, of course, by the working of supply and demand, when you have a larger number of people unemployed, wages do not rise at the normal level, so that we had last year a drop in real wages.
