Debbie Stabenow actually said...

"In order to have a strong middle class in America, we must continue to make and grow things in this country."

"as Senator Stabenow so articulately discussed, we are hoping to be able to lead the way in the development of technologies in the area of alternative energy."

"For our private sector to have the confidence to invest--and these are major investments--to create jobs, we need longer-term policies."

"They are aiming to compete with us because they want what we have had: a robust middle class and a strong economy for the majority of their citizens."
