Chicago is a world-class culinary center. We need to guard that reputation and status.

Culture is central to what makes us human.
What the federal government can do, especially as it relates to urban, inner-city America, is invest resources that would help create jobs.
The arts are what humanize science and history.
Some of the huge tax breaks that we gave to the wealthiest 1 percent of the population in this country during the Bush era have contributed significantly to the deficit.
Our nation's multiculturalism is what makes us so special as a nation.
The way to reduce the deficit is to create jobs and work opportunities so that people will have money with which to pay taxes.
