"I strongly oppose efforts to falsely blame middle-class American workers for these current economic problems."

"I disagree with him."

"If you want to talk about balancing the State budgets, then let's talk about the budget, let's talk about the real reasons for shortfall, and let's talk about the real solutions."

"I believe that we must work together to ensure that our economy is strong and that our workers are protected."
