Walz Supports Emergency Economic Stimulus Package

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

"American families are hurting and this package provides them with badly needed relief," said Walz. "I'm pleased that Democrats and Republicans came together and found agreement on helping every day Americans. We will continue to monitor the economy and to work together if additional actions are necessary to spur the economy."

"Under this plan, a single mother with two children making $15,000 will get a $900 rebate. That is real money in the pockets of working people who desperately need the assistance," said Walz. "When it comes to the economy, this legislation is a clear sign that Washington's priorities have changed. A few years ago, big business would have been the priority during an economic downturn. Today, every day Americans are first on the agenda, and that is a change we can be proud of."
