STATEMENT:<br />
Over the last few decades, middle-class security had<br />
been slipping away for families who worked hard and<br />
played by the rules. Wages stagnated while costs<br />
soared. Fewer employers <strong>of</strong>fered retirement and health<br />
benefits. College tuition costs skyrocketed. Then the<br />
Wall Street and housing market crashes cost 8.8 million<br />
jobs and sent the economy into a deep recession.<br />

From day one, President Obama took immediate<br />
action to put Americans back to work, stopping the<br />
bleeding and reversing the trend. He also began laying<br />
the foundation for a real recovery that has strong roots<br />
and a job-creating economy that’s built to last.<br />
We’re now at a make-or-break moment for the middle<br />
class. The President believes Americans should<br />
be able to earn enough to raise a family, send their<br />
kids to school, own a home and put enough away to<br />
retire. That can happen only when hard work pays<br />
<strong>of</strong>f, responsibility is rewarded, and everybody plays<br />
by the same rules, does their fair share and has a fair<br />
shot at success.<br />
President Obama is fighting for an economy that’s built<br />
to last and built from the middle out, not the top down.<br />
That’s why his plan invests in education, innovation,<br />
infrastructure and energy, and asks the wealthiest to<br />
pay their fair share again to help create American jobs<br />
and responsibly reduce the deficit in a balanced way.<br />
We can’t afford to go back to the same failed policies<br />
that crashed our economy and devastated the middle<br />
class. We have to move forward.<br />
