Urging Action on the Economic Recovery Package
January 8, 2009 - Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus today discussed their thoughts for a bold economic recovery package. Democrats are working on a bipartisan plan that will create jobs, improve our economy now and strengthen our nation over the long term.
“Our nation’s economy is in a state of emergency,” Reid said. “We need a plan that not only will create jobs and improve our economy now, but will strengthen our nation over the long term.” Senate Democrats will act quickly to address this economic crisis, create jobs and provide relief to our struggling middle class. To read more on how Democrats will be working to revive our economy, protect homeowners and consumers, make America more energy independent, strengthen our national security, and improve health care and educational opportunities for all Americans go here.
