Debbie Stabenow said "I believe it gets it right. It is about our values and our priorities. It is about investing in our future as Americans. Today we are saying our Nation's budget, which lays out our values and priorities, will focus on the economy, on jobs, and on the future of the country. I come from the great State of Michigan, where the issue of jobs is very serious and very real. People in Michigan want us to act in a way that is going to allow people to have a good-paying job, to be able to work hard, to be able to pay the bills and pay for the outrageous gas prices and the soaring costs of health care and the cost of college and food and all the other things that are squeezing families on all sides. They want to know they have an opportunity to work." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
