Strengthening The American Economy

March 14, 2008 - Senate Democrats continue to strengthen the American economy and reverse years of Bush Republicans' fiscal policies. The U.S. Senate under Democratic leadership passed a budget this week that lowers taxes for middle class families and creates almost half a million good-paying jobs here at home. "In this time of economic uncertainty, this fiscally responsible budget points our economy in the right direction," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid after the Senate passed the budget.

He continued, "We are making health care, college tuition and energy more affordable and reversing years of Bush Republicans' failed fiscal policies. Since President Bush took office, it has been harder each day for middle-class families to make ends meet; this budget will help, and will give more working Americans a real opportunity to succeed in the future."

Senate Democrats will also continue fighting to strengthen our economy in the long-term by addressing the housing crisis, and helping those whom Bush Republicans refused to help.
