Economic Security

As our economy continues to struggle, with the job market lagging even further behind, families across Southern California are facing tough decisions. Congressman Dreier is committed to getting our economy back on track. He is a staunch believer that an irresponsible expansion of wasteful government programs and out-of-control spending will only impede our economic recovery. Instead, Congressman Dreier believes that we must restore fiscal discipline, keep tax burdens low, provide incentives for savings and investment, empower small businesses to grow and hire new workers, and help workers find the job and training opportunities they need. He has also supported a responsible extension of unemployment insurance, which is critical to helping families make it through tough times.

  • Congressman Dreier voted against an irresponsible budget plan that raises taxes on working families in California and fails to address long-term entitlement spending.
  • Congressman Dreier supported the Tax Increase Prevention Act which provided Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) relief for 23 million Americans without raising taxes.
  • Congressman Dreier introduced the Fair and Simple Tax (FAST) Act, which simplifies the tax code by creating a one-page tax form, reduces marginal tax rates, eliminates the Death Tax and fixes the Alternative Minimum Tax.
  • Each April, Congressman Dreier hosts the “Road to Employment” job fair which allows job seekers to meet with potential employers in the Foothill Communities. In 2009, over 4000 people had the opportunity to meet with 65 potential employers.
