Tom Harkin actually said...

"the deficit should be addressed by enacting yet another tax cut bonanza for those at the top while ripping the social safety net for seniors, people with disabilities, and low income."

"too many workers are unemployed or underemployed, and more needs to be done to ensure that all Americans benefit from economic growth, not just the few at the top."

"It's hard to see the wisdom of a cut like that when the real unemployment rate really is close to 16 percent in this country."

"We are working on WIA. We've been working on it for a long time, even before I was chairman."
