Working To Recover America’s Economy

January 5, 2009 - As the 111th Congress prepare to convene this week, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and bipartisan Congressional Leadership met with President-Elect Barack Obama and Vice President-Elect Joe Biden to start one of the most important discussions of the year – outlining an economic recovery plan that creates jobs, invests in America, puts the middle class first and strengthens our economy. In the coming weeks, Senate Democratic Leadership will be working with the incoming Administration and their Republican counterparts to revive our economy, with a specific focus on creating jobs and carefully targeted investments in America’s roads, bridges and technology, we can reenergize our economy and make it work for everyone.

Our nation’s economy is in a state of emergency. We urgently need a plan as large and bold as the crisis we face, and it must include the accountability to ensure taxpayer money is used properly. There is much work to do and a lot at stake. Only by working quickly and together in a bipartisan fashion can we do the important work to move our country forward.
