Strengthening our Economy, Remembering 9/11

Statement

After more than 8 months in the majority, House Republicans have yet to produce a plan to revitalize our economy and put Americans back to work. Instead, they have voted ten times against Democratic proposals to revitalize manufacturing in America, create new good-paying jobs, and make our nation more secure.

Last night, President Obama offered a clear path to help small businesses succeed and hire, provide tax relief for our workers, rebuild America, and provide aid to those who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own. The American Jobs Act will not only put Americans back to work, it will be fully paid for.

Congress must act quickly to provide immediate assistance to our nation's economy and to implement initiatives to create jobs for the American people.
