“The middle class has been hit hard by the Obama economy. Unemployment remains above 7 percent. Middle-class incomes have fallen, as I said, by over $3,000 since the President took office.

It is time for Congress to act as a check to the President's agenda and to stop these policies before more hard-working families are further harmed. I yield the floor. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Republican whip.”
