On the recordDecember 19, 2012
As a Nation, we are gaining momentum as our economy gets back on track. For my constituents in San Diego, home prices are on the rise and most employers are adding jobs and hours instead of cutting back. We cannot afford to undo the progress we are making, especially for the middle class. The only way to accelerate our economic progress is to balance economic development with protection for the most vulnerable Americans from job losses, tax increases, and program cuts. Americans young and old need to know that Congress believes in the future and that we'll work together to keep our country on the rise. I think often of Gandhi's statement: The future depends on what we do in the present. Let's not waste this critical opportunity to advance economic growth and invest in our future. ____________________
