- "The US economy is the envy of the developed world. Growth has exceeded that of all developed countries, and the unemployment rate is the lowest it has been in decades. However, many have not benefited from the macro economy due to 40 years of income stratification that has placed most of the gains in the hands of the few. Housing has become increasingly unaffordable, and too many children go to bed hungry every night. We need policies that grow the economy from the bottom up, not the top down, that grow the economy for the many, not just the few." (wrightforutahcongressionaldistrict3.com)
