the devalued dollar and the price of oil and gas

Thanks to President Bush and his Republican and Democratic Congresses!

We need to strengthen the dollar through reduced spending and debt. There's only one congressional candidate in the 9th District who is credible on this issue...

Seymour town hall

I enjoyed my visit to Seymour this evening.

In addition to my two staffers, we had six lay-people from the community and reporters from the Seymour Tribune and Jackson County Banner. The group was half of the size of Baron's effort there two weeks ago.

I delivered comments for about 20 minutes before fielding questions on a variety of topics.

We look forward to doing a few more of these-- in Bloomington, Madison, Scottsburg, and Clark/Floyd County.

About Me

Name: Eric Schansberg

Location: Jeffersonville, Indiana, United States

First and foremost, I am saved by God's grace as manifested most clearly through the atoning death of Jesus Christ-- and thus, adopted into His family. As a result, I increasingly seek to extend His grace to others in my daily life. On the home front, I am a husband and father to four young men (two by adoption and two the more conventional way). Professionally, I am an economist who loves to teach and is active in public policy circles. Vocationally, I am an active writer and the author of three books (one on the book of Joshua; two on public policy-- one secular, one Christian). Finally, I am the co-author of a 21-month discipleship curriculum, Thoroughly Equipped (and a lighter 36-week version), for developing competent lay-leaders in the Church. Related to that work, Kurt and I have two books, Enough Horses in the Barn and Roll Up Your Sleeves.
