The administration is committed to making the tough cuts necessary to achieve these savings--including to programs we care about--but will not sacrifice the core investments we need to grow and create jobs.

His story gives me hope that we can meet this challenge head on and help people with disabilities move into and beyond the middle class.

But we must do it in a way that protects the recovery, protects the investments we need to grow, create jobs, and helps us win the future.
