Senate Democrats  Reid: Bush Economic Talk Ignores the Issues
Facing American Families  Washington, DC - Senate Democratic
Leader Harry Reid released the following statement on the state
of the economy for middle-class families today:  “While the
president touts his failed economic agenda that has left
millions of American families with higher bills and lower wages
to pay them, Democrats remain committed to creating an economy
that works for all Americans. While some corporations are
enjoying increased profits, the benefits of economic growth
still have not reached many hard working middle-class families.
“Instead of pushing to spend billions of dollars on tax breaks
for millionaires and the special interests, Republicans in the
White House and Congress should join Democrats in pursuing
policies that will address the factors squeezing middle-class
families today. We can help to cut the skyrocketing costs of
health care, gas prices and college tuition by focusing on the
priorities of the American people.”
