Seven-Point Plan to Reduce the Deficit
We
can reduce the deficit, avoid devastating cuts to important
programs, and avoid greater harm to middle-class families that
have seen their incomes stagnate or even fall over the last
decade. In hopes of moving that process forward, I have sent the
Joint Select Committee a letter outlining a seven-point plan for
deficit reduction that will require sacrifice not just from
middle-class families, but from all Americans.

Congress Should Pass the American Jobs Act
Clearly,
the economic recovery that we all hoped was under way in 2009
and 2010 has slowed, and with it, job creation has stalled. With
the hopes of millions of American families at stake, the time is
now to act on initiatives that would create jobs and re-energize
the economic recovery.
That's why I was so encouraged by the jobs plan that President
Obama outlined in his Sept. 8 speech to a joint session of
Congress. The president proposed legislation called the American
Jobs Act. I support his efforts to create jobs and to do so in
ways that do not add to the budget deficit.
The president's speech was a rousing, patriotic call to action.
And the argument for his plan is simple: We need to act now, and
we need to do so with ideas that members of all political
parties have supported in the past.
