My election to Congress will protect and potentially expand the buying power of your wages and savings.  Inflation makes the cost of goods and services rise, forcing you to cut back, work longer hours, or both.  Inflation is created when the federal government expands the supply of dollars in circulation, which it has been doing for decades and more than ever in the last few years.  The greatest cause of inflation is the enormous cost of un-Constitutional federal programs.  As Patriotic Congressmen, with the support of the American people, gradually return the federal government to its true constitutional limits, inflation will diminish, the buying power of your dollars will be protected, and the economy will stabilize.  Coupled with other constitutional acts that will expand American industry and foster competition, the buying power of your dollars could actually increase!
