Debbie Stabenow actually said...

"This is not only a challenge for us. It is a moral issue."

"I do not think we have an economy or a middle class unless you make things and grow things."

"Difficult budgets also provide reason and opportunity to simplify and streamline programs so that they work better for the people that are relying on them."

"we help real people who struggle to put food on the table in difficult economic times."
