Pelosi: Bush's Economic Vision: Reward the Wealthy, While Middle-Class Americans Go Into Debt

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today on the Commerce Department's announcement on economic growth:

"Today's announcement is cold comfort to working Americans faced with the reality of struggling to pay their bills. Gas prices have doubled, oil company profits have tripled, and real income has stalled. Middle-class Americans are feeling squeezed and going deeper into debt, while the wealthy few are rewarded with giveaways, subsidies, and tax breaks. That is not a strong economy; that is the Bush economic vision for our country.

"Democrats want to take the country in a new direction - one that works for all Americans, not just Big Oil cronies."
