I think we can agree that personal security begins with stable, well paying jobs for Kansas City’s working people. A healthy economy, strong labor unions and a vibrant business environment help families reach their economic and professional goals. But for some people, who find themselves between jobs or too ill to work, economic hardship can lead to bad decisions that can take a decade to erase. I refuse to believe that “freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose.”
Franklin D. Roosevelt described economic empowerment as “Freedom from Want” and “Freedom from Fear". I look forward to discussing the important issue of financial security with you as I continue to meet with our neighbors in the community.
